Exploring varnish compounds solubility in working systems
Oxidation of lubricating oils results in polar compounds. These further react under oxidative conditions resulting in a variety of macromolecules and polymerized materials. These can impact not only the physical chemical characteristics of the lubricating mixture but also the surfaces of the equipment in contact with the oil. These effects can be explored in actual lubricated systems by directly and indirectly monitoring their dissolution.
