Working Principle

Centrifugal oil cleaner operates on reaction turbine principle. Oil enters the centrifuge under pressure and flows into rotor thru hollow rotor shaft. The oil pressure and flow is converted in rotational energy as oil escapes through Rotor jets, producing speed upto 8000 rpm. The resultant centrifugal force removes dirt from engine oil , depositing it on the inner wall of rotor in a dense cake form. Clean oil drains back to the engine oil by gravity.

Schematic DiagramFull Flow Filter & By-pass Centrifugal Oil Cleaner

Full flow filter carries entire oil flowing to various engine components, hence it has coarse filter element of 30 to 50 µ (to meet the flow requirement of engine components). It removes large particles, however fine particles remain in the oil.Centrifugal oil cleaner is installed in bypass line. It is a multi pass cleaning system, it processes small quantity of oil continuously & removes all the Particles present in the lube oil down to1µ. thereby achieving very high level of oil cleanliness.

Why Centrifugal Oil Cleaner

Centrifugal Oil Cleaner removes very fine dirt from lube oil below 1µ . Present engine filtration system can not remove such fine particles. With clean lube oil, Engine wear & tear is Substantially reduced, particularly of the tight clearance components like Piston Rings and Liners, Camshafts & Bearings, Turbo Charger, Gear Train etc. Effective removal of Carbon soot prevents Ring sticking and Clogging of oil passages, improving engine performance.

Fine particles in the range of 1-5 µ get trapped into the dynamic clearance causing the maximum wear & tear. Centrifugal oil cleaner removes these fine particles enabling extension of component life
