Compressor Oil Filtration
By-pass/off-line filtration applications supporting fine particle and water control in compressor lubrication systems.
Typical Risks
What do we encounter in the system?
- Dirt load in bearings
- Condensation and water ingress
- Oxidation/sludge formation
- Effects of high operating temperatures
- System cleaning during planned downtime
OEMLUBE Approach
How do we work?
- Deep filtration
- Continuous by-pass conditioning
- Water separation/dehydration options
- High-flow skid solutions
- Connection design suitable for site conditions
Application Principle
The filtration unit is selected according to the system.
Filter micron rating alone is not a sufficient selection criterion. Oil viscosity, temperature, existing pump/valve structure, tank volume, desired circulation time, water load, and target cleanliness value must be evaluated together.
Analysis
Oil and contamination status are determined.
Connection
Suction-return points and safe on-site connections are planned.
Filtration
Oil is cleaned off-line with a controlled flow rate.
Control
The result is confirmed with a final sample and on-site observation.
Information Required for a Quote
Oil type + tank volume + equipment + analysis report
Sharing these four pieces of information accelerates the determination of the correct device/flow rate and operation time.
