What is lubricating oil separator equipment?

Lubricating oil separator equipment is a device used to separate impurities, moisture and other contaminants from lubricating oil. Its main function is to maintain the cleanliness and performance of lubricating oil, thereby extending the service life of lubricating oil and equipment. The following is a detailed introduction to lubricating oil separator equipment:

Main functions

1. Removal of solid particles: Remove metal chips, dust and other solid impurities from lubricating oil by filtering or centrifugal separation.

2. Removal of moisture: Separation of moisture from lubricating oil by vacuum, centrifugal, or adsorption.

3. Removal of gas: Remove dissolved gas and bubbles from lubricating oil by vacuum treatment.

4. Extending the life of lubricating oil: Maintaining the performance of lubricating oil and reducing the frequency of replacement by regularly separating contaminants.

Common types

1. Centrifugal separator

- Principle: Use the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to separate solid particles and moisture from lubricating oil.

- Application: Suitable for lubricating oil containing a large amount of solid impurities and moisture.

2. Vacuum separator

- Principle: Separate moisture and gas from lubricating oil by heating and decompression under vacuum conditions.

- Application: Suitable for lubricating oil treatment that requires dehydration and degassing.

3. Filter element separator

- Principle: Lubricating oil passes through the filter element, and the filter element captures tiny particles and impurities.

- Application: Suitable for high-precision filtration, such as hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, etc.

4. Plate and frame separator

- Principle: Filter plates and filter frames are arranged alternately to form a filter chamber, and the lubricating oil is filtered through the filter cloth.

- Application: Suitable for high-viscosity lubricating oil and lubricating oil with more impurities.

5. Magnetic separator

- Principle: Use magnetic elements to absorb metal particles in lubricating oil.

- Application: Suitable for lubricating oil containing metal chips, such as machine tool lubricating oil, cutting fluid, etc.

Application field

- Industrial equipment: Used for lubricating oil treatment of machine tools, compressors, hydraulic systems and other equipment.

- Automotive industry: Used for filtering and separating engine oil, transmission oil, etc.

- Power industry: Used for the treatment of transformer oil, turbine oil, etc.

- Marine industry: used for filtering and separating ship engine oil, hydraulic oil, etc.

Advantages

- Improve equipment reliability: Clean lubricating oil can reduce equipment wear and failure.

- Extend lubricating oil life: Regularly separate pollutants and reduce the frequency of lubricating oil replacement.

- Reduce maintenance costs: Reduce the cost of equipment maintenance and lubricating oil replacement.

- Environmental protection: Reduce environmental pollution by recycling and treating waste oil.

Considerations for selecting lubricating oil separator equipment

- Lubricating oil type: Different lubricating oils have different viscosities and impurity types, so a suitable separator needs to be selected.

- Processing volume: ｓｅｌｅｃｔ a separator of appropriate size according to the processing volume of the lubricating oil.

- Filtration accuracy: ｓｅｌｅｃｔ the filtration accuracy according to the required cleanliness requirements.

- Operating environment: Consider the temperature, humidity and other factors of the operating environment and ｓｅｌｅｃｔ a suitable separator.

By using lubricating oil separator equipment, the cleanliness and performance of the lubricating oil can be effectively maintained, and the operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment can be improved.
