Vapor Delivered Lubrication Concepts for Natural Gas Engines. First, vapor delivery of a lubricant in a carrier gas provides a method of delivering small, but precise amounts of lubricant to a bearing system. Second, the lubricant delivered in a carrier gas can be designed to provide good lubrication without undesireable buildup over the temperature range of 200 degrees C to 1600 degrees C. Various modes of vapor lubrication are discussed. The methods of delivering vapor phase lubricants in an engine are not yet well developed. Improved methods for the application of lubrication technology to engines need to be developed and evaluated.
