Lubricating oil purification system
Thread Content
The API mentions that there is a purification system in the lubricating oil system. What is the purpose of this purification system? When is it needed? Some of the aircraft crews I’ve seen do not have these things in their lubrication systems.
Lubricant purification systems are generally used in large-scale operating equipment. The lubricating oil purification system includes a light oil station, coarse filters, fine filters, and a circulation oil pump; some systems also have oil cooling features. Its main function is to precipitate and filter out impurities from the lubricating oil, thereby reducing wear on the parts that are in relative motion and enabling the equipment to operate for a longer period of time.
For most units, their independent lubricating oil systems typically include systems for filtration, cooling, and dehydration, all of which are used to ensure the quality of the lubricating oil. I remember that our company once used an online dehydration system, which worked very well; the problem of water contamination that had plagued us for years was basically solved, **which reduced the frequency at which the lubricating oil needed to be replaced.
It’s the thin oil station, things like filters and such
No, the system itself has a lubrication system that includes a pump, filters, and an oil cooler. But below the lowest liquid level, there is also a purifier called a conditioner; I’m not sure what its purpose is
Generally, a set of centrifugal dehydration equipment should be used for this purpose. Is this what a purification system refers to?
The device is called an oil purification unit, commonly known as an oil filter.
Does this one seem to have information on this topic?
Do you have any information on this that you can share?
You can search for vacuum dehydration filtration equipment on Baidu.
