Filtration Unit Cleans Oil, Maintains Temperature
SKF designed its new Oil Conditioning
Unit to optimize lubrication performance
by serving as a low-pressure pump
filtration unit that circulates the oil in a
system. The unit removes contaminants
from the oil supply and allows a desired
temperature range to be maintained consistently. The unit connects directly to sumps, bearing
housings, gearboxes, compressors and other machines, and
is available in two versions: filtration only, or filtration with
an air or water cooler to lower the oil temperature. Both
remove oil from the bottom of the oil reservoir and return it
filtered to the top of the reservoir. Benefits, according to the
company, include optimized lubrication conditions with correct
oil viscosity, reduced component wear, extended component
and lubricant service life, reduced maintenance and
repairs, reduced oil consumption and disposal costs, and
improved machine reliability and productivity. SKF describes
the Oil Conditioning Unit as a fully integrated system with
minimal connections that can be equipped with a wide range
of options to satisfy particular application needs.
