Technical News|The hazards of oil contamination (1)

 

foreword

There are various pollutants in the hydraulic system medium, the most important of which are solid particles, in addition, there are water, air, and harmful chemicals. The main sources of pollutants are as follows.

Technical News|The hazards of oil contamination (2)

1. Inherent pollution

   Unavoidable residues of contamination during manufacturing and assembly, such as swarf, welding slag, molding sand, paint, sealants or fibers from rags, etc. If the system is not flushed before use, contaminants can enter the fluid while the hydraulic system is working.

2. Invasive pollution

   Systems are always under taint attack, unfortunately, systems cannot avoid intrusion taint. External air, water, dust, and solid particles enter the oil through hydraulic cylinder piston rods, hose joints, hydraulic oil tanks, and air filters during the working process of the hydraulic system.

3. Internally generated pollutants

   The assembly, operation, commissioning and deterioration of the hydraulic system also continuously produce pollution, which directly enters the oil, such as wear particles of metal and sealing materials, particles and fibers shed from the oil suction and oil return filter elements. Oxidation and deterioration to form jelly, and the oil suction pipeline is not tightly sealed to inhale air, etc.

4. Pollution caused by maintenance, maintenance and repair

   In the normal maintenance of equipment, replacing filter elements and hydraulic oil, cleaning oil tanks, repairing and disassembling hydraulic cylinders, valves, etc. will also cause solid particles, water, air, fibers, etc. to enter the oil, affecting the cleanliness of the system, even if these Processes cannot be avoided, but effective filtration can have a significant impact on these processes.

5. Catalytic effect

   In the process of selecting filters, the removal of solid and hard pollutants is usually considered, but the performance of hydraulic and lubricating oils is also affected by catalysts, and the life of the oil is greatly shortened as a result of catalysis.
