Econo-Vac Oil Conditioner - A portable, compact and economical Oil Conditoner with 200 GPH Process Flow Rate
The Econo-Vac has been designed with both economy and portability in mind. It's ease of use and reliability make it an ideal choice for industrial oil purification where convenience, dependability and low cost are factors.
The Econo-Vac's principle function is the removal of water, gasses and light hydrocarbons from oil. The operating principle is extremely simple. The system operates under vacuum conditions. The oil is pulled though an electric immersion heater which raises the oil to an optimum temperature. The oil is then forced by atmospheric pressure into the vacuum chamber. There it passes from the inside-out of the coalescing elements for maximum surface area exposure and water removal, with the elements also acting as particulate filters for the removal of solids. While the oil is exposed to the vacuum, water (free, dissolved and emulsified), dissolved gasses and air, and other low range volatiles are vaporized out of the oil leaving a purified and conditioned oil to safe operating standards. The vaporized gasses are pulled off by a rotary vane vacuum pump though a small trap where some of the condensate is collected. The remaining vapors are exhausted to the atmosphere. An optional condenser and condensate collection pot are available. |
