ABSTRACT:
An oil mist generating system and monitoring method is shown and described, including pressurized air and oil supplies connected to a mist generating head. Sensors are provided for monitoring current values of the system operating parameters and for generating data signals based on the monitored values. A data processor functionally connected to the sensors generates signals based on the data input, such as an alarm signal if one of the monitored values is beyond the extremes of a predetermined range of values indicative of a fault condition. A visual display device displays programmed messages based on the signals generated by the data processing means. If a fault condition exists, the displayed messages aid the user in diagnosing and correcting the reason for the alarm signal. The user may manually request further programmed messages using a keypad, which messages direct the user to take predetermined actions to troubleshoot the problem and maintain the system at an appropriate operating level. The data processor also initiates or terminates steps in a system start-up sequence in response to the monitored values. A computer-compatible, two-way communication port is also provided for two-way communication between the system and a remotely located computer. The system and method thus guides a user through a safe, effective start-up and provides on-line troubleshooting while monitoring operation. The oil mist generating system may also include a stand-by unit having a mist generating head, wherein the regular and stand-by units share common connections to air supply, oil supply an mist outlets. Three-way valves for controlling the connections providing for a simple and safe switch-over to the stand-by unit during times of temporary shutdown.
