🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of venting any closed machinery casing • What happens to pressure and temperature inside a sealed gearbox during operation • Difference between problems caused by pressure buildup, foaming, and clearance

💭 Think About

• Think about what would happen inside the reduction gear casing if it were completely sealed while the gears and oil are operating at high speed and temperature. • Which of the choices is directly related to why you would add a vent or breather to a closed container with rotating machinery and warm oil? • Ask yourself: what problem would be most dangerous or damaging if the casing could not breathe to the outside atmosphere?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option specifically addresses internal pressure in a closed, heated volume. • Separate cooling effects from venting – are vents primarily installed as a cooling device or for another safety/structural reason? • Confirm which issues (foaming, axial clearance) are handled by design and oil properties, not by adding a vent.
