James Walker studies 'green' lubricants

摘要

UK: With the growing enforcement of legislation promoting the use of environmentally safe lubricants, there is an urgent demand throughout the industry to fully understand the effects on seals and other components of a switch to such lubricants. Fluid sealing producer and global manufacturer James Walker has been involved in carrying out test programmes on 'Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants' (EALs) to opti- mise seal designs and materials to provide high performance and longevity when operational in a propulsion system.
