Abstract

A method for dispensing lubricants uses a lubricant dispenser that has a lubricant reservoir connected to a housing outlet in a housing, and a gas production region that borders on the lubricant reservoir and accommodates an electrolyte fluid. To start dispensing the lubricant, a galvanic gas production element is introduced into the electrolyte fluid, whereby the lubricant is pressed out of the lubricant reservoir, through the housing outlet, under the pressure of a gas that is produced via electrochemical decomposition of the gas production element. An additional component is introduced into the electrolyte fluid at the same time with the galvanic gas production element, which component is decomposed in the electrolyte fluid during a shorter period of time, with reference to the entire period of operation, with the production of gas, and thereby brings about an increase in the gas production rate, part of the time. A gas production element for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
