Water, just after solid contaminants, is the second most important cause of disruptions and failures in
lubricating and hydraulic systems and current transformers.
Even the smallest amount of water in an oil system accelerates the ageing of oil and elements contacting oil.
To prevent it, our company provides services that allow you to diagnose water contents and remove it from oil using:
- Water contents measuring device or/and laboratory analyses
- Centrifugal units (function on the principle of centrifugal force),
- water removal and degassing units (HNP) - (units for vacuum water removal and oil filtration)
Another great problem in the operation of equipment is saturation with gasses from leakages by sealing,
especially with volatile hydrocarbons
(e.g. in process compressors and power generators), causing dangerous
fall in oil ignition temperature. A solution to this problem, without costly oil replacement, is the use of oil
degassing equipment.
Note that the high contents of solved air in oils working under pressure quickens oxidisation and depletion
of additives, in addition, it causes:
- poor heat exchange,
- oil film damage,
- oxidisation,
- cavitation,
- wax sealing,
- corrosion,
- air locks and traps,
- disrupted operation of control and measuring devices,
- others.
Ecol offers its services in scope of operating and lubricating service, as well as a wide range of respiration
filters of established and proven manufacturers installed in:
- tanks,
- transformers,
- transmission gears,
- oil pans,
- other devices.
for the exchange of air between the oil system and environment to progress without transporting harmful
contaminants (oil mist, dampness in air, dust, dirt, etc.).
