Abstract

Biolubricants are being developed more frequently as a result of environmental issues, which also improve performance and lessen friction and wear. This study seeks to examine the effects of commercial compressor oil-SAE30, and its blend with pentaerythritol ester (PE) derived from vegetable oil on tribological properties. Two sequential transesterification processes were used to create the pentaerythritol ester made from vegetable oil utilizing the ultrasonic irradiation method. Using an air compressor lubricant, load, and sliding speed for each experimental run, a pin-on-disc tribometer is utilized to examine the friction and wear characteristics of the material. According to the experimental findings, PE 75 (75 vol.% - PE and 25 vol.% - SAE30) performs better than PE and SAE30 in terms of minimum coefficient of friction (COF) and specific wear rate (SWR) under high loads and high sliding speeds. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX) analyses were used to examine the morphology behavior of the pin surfaces. Due to the coating that covers the specimen's surface, PE 75 compressor oil displays smoother surfaces than other lubricated surfaces.

工业空气压缩机用植物油基季戊四醇酯的摩擦学研究

由于环境问题，生物润滑剂的开发越来越频繁，这也提高了性能，减少了摩擦和磨损。本研究旨在研究商用压缩机油sae30及其与植物油中提取的季戊四醇酯(PE)的混合物对摩擦学性能的影响。以植物油为原料，采用超声辐照法制备季戊四醇酯。使用空气压缩机润滑油、负载和每次实验运行的滑动速度，使用针盘式摩擦计来检查材料的摩擦和磨损特性。实验结果表明，PE 75 (75 vol.% - PE和25 vol.% - SAE30)在高载荷和高滑动速度下的最小摩擦系数(COF)和比磨损率(SWR)优于PE和SAE30。此外，利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和x射线能谱分析(EDAX)分析了引脚表面的形貌行为。由于覆盖试样表面的涂层，PE 75压缩机油的表面比其他润滑表面更光滑。
