Notes:
This study used the Al2O3 nano-lubricant produced from the direct synthesis method wasused as the experimental samples and the ultrasonic vibration was used for dispersing thenanoparticles into three types of the weight fraction (0.1, 0.2, 0.3%wt). The base solvent was thelubricant of vacuum pump. The objectives of this study were to discuss the dependence of operatingtemperature of vacuum pump under the various weight fraction of Al2O3 nanoparticles. In thisexperiment we added Al2O3 nano-lubricant into the direct drive oil sealed rotary vacuum pump, andused the thermocouple measure the temperature on the four test points (cylinder, in-lubricant, caseof vacuum pump and discharge pipeline). The results show that the cylinder temperature wasreduced by 1.3% and increased by 0.4%, 1.8%, the lubricant temperature was increased by 5.3%,0.5% and 1.9%, the case surface temperature was reduced by 1.7%, 1.4% and 1.5%, and dischargepipeline temperature was reduced by 0.6%, 2.1% and 3.8% respectively when the sample fractionswere 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%wt. From the results, it could be realized that the nano-lubricant hasmore effects on increasing the performance of heat sink than conventional lubricant
