At first glance, the question \u201cWhat is oil filtration\u201d seems to be easy to answer. \u00a0There are however, no hard and fast answers to this question \u00a0because of the great amount of variety of oil found on the world oil market. \u00a0If for a moment you were to put aside the broad variety of oils on the market, we can answer the question in the following way:<\/p>\n
Oil filtration is a method of removing contaminants either in a suspended state either to protect the equipment, or to extend the service life of the oil. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s discuss it in more detail.<\/p>\n There are two types of oil filtration:<\/p>\n Primary purification is used to protect equipment. \u00a0The filtering devices are mounted by the equipment producers. From a technical point of view, this type of filtration is realized with a by-pass valve that lets the oil flow past and through the valve. \u00a0This device removes impurities of more than 25 microns.<\/p>\n This kind of filtration is called \u201ccoarse<\/i><\/b>\u201d filtration due to the size of contaminants being filtered. \u00a0The primarily task of this kind of filtration is to prevent equipment damage by coarse particles. \u00a0The filtering devices are mounted in the lubrication circuit of the equipment or in the delivery line that leads to the lubrication point. \u00a0Sometimes they are be mounted in the return pipeline that goes from the lubrication point depending on the equipment manufacturer\u2019s design and engineering concept.<\/p>\n Filters are usually made of porous materials. \u00a0The internal bypass valve opens when filters become saturated with contaminants and\/or when pressure exceeds preset limits. \u00a0\u00a0Non-filtered oil then flows out of the filter and is circulated into the equipment.<\/p>\n A secondary filtration is applied in order to extend the service life of oil through by purifying and restoring the oil\u2019s performance characteristcs. \u00a0Often, a secondary filtration method is called \u201coil purification.<\/i><\/b>\u201d \u00a0The main benefit of this kind of filtration is that it extends the service life of the oil as well as the equipment. \u00a0Sometimes, producers provide equipment with a built-in secondary filtration system, but often secondary filtration is considered to be an optional pice of equipment.<\/p>\n The following are the most widespread methods of secondary filtration:<\/p>\n Secondary filtration is able to clean oil to the lowest ISO purity class standard. \u00a0Even if seconday filtration systems are in place, it is not recommended to change or remove the the primary filtration system mounted by the equipment manufacturer.<\/p>\n GlobeCore<\/i><\/b> has a wide spectrum of filtering systems designed and intended for the purification of lubricating oils and fluids. \u00a0These systems provide for the service life extension of oil as well as the oil-filled equipment.<\/p>\n Taking into consideration the high prices for oil filled equipment and the cost of oil changes as well as possible downtimes, it is reasonable to mount GlobeCore\u2019s<\/i><\/b> secondary filtration units on your existing equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At first glance, the question \u201cWhat is oil filtration\u201d seems to be easy to answer. \u00a0There are however, no hard and fast answers to this question \u00a0because of the great amount of variety of oil found on the world oil market. \u00a0If for a moment you were to put aside the broad variety of oilsRead More <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2563,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[209,127,21,26,173,30,177,151,175,149,152,171,172,45,207,208],"class_list":["post-2232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case_studies","tag-dielectric-oil-filtration","tag-lubricating-oil","tag-oil-filtration","tag-oil-purification","tag-oil-reclaimer","tag-oil-reclamation","tag-oil-reclamation-equipment","tag-oil-reclamation-machine","tag-oil-reclamation-plant","tag-oil-reclamation-systems","tag-oil-reclamation-unit","tag-power-transformer","tag-reclaim-oil","tag-transformer-oil-reclamation","tag-what-does-filtration-mean","tag-what-does-oil-filtration-mean"],"language":"en","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oilregeneration.globecore.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What does filtration mean?<\/h2>\n
