In oil air lubrication systems, compressed air at a certain pressure plays a crucial role under various operating conditions.

1. It acts as a carrier for the lubricant.

2. The continuous airflow carries away a significant amount of frictional heat, providing cooling.

3. It creates a positive pressure within the bearing housing, preventing the ingress of cooling water and contaminants, thus providing excellent sealing.

4. By mixing with the lubricating oil to form a two-phase flow, it enhances load-bearing capacity and creates a more stable oil film.

5. The compressed air at a certain pressure allows the lubricant to form a jet with strong penetrating power, effectively penetrating the "air jacket" formed around the high-speed rotating bearing, allowing the lubricating oil to be smoothly sprayed into the lubrication points, achieving ideal lubrication results.
