Temperatures of Line Shaft Bearings in Wheat Dressing Mill.

Summary. Power Reduction on complete mill

27.9 H.P. or 7.7 per cent. Reductions in Temperature on all bearings tested from

I to 35 °F. or in per cent. of the total heat due to friction from

..3.3 per cent. to 74.0 per cent. The grain operated upon was the same in both tests, viz., Pure Indian Wheat, but there was a 2 per cent. greater production favoring the reduction in power; this is, however, offset by the climatic conditions which were very much against the reduction, the balance of effect being probably a decreased power.
