Beta Factor

 What is the Beta Ratio?


The beta ratio refers to the efficiency in which a given filter element removes the particle of a given size. It is calculated using the ISO multi-pass test standard 16889:1999. This factor plays an important role in buying the oil filter.



How is it measured?


This test involves adding particles of a known size to the test fluid until the fluid reaches an immersion point and afterward bringing the channel online to eliminate particles in a single pass through the component.


Consider that the beta proportion is very important for a specific size of the molecule


For example, if 100,000 five micron particles were measured, on average, before the filter, and 100 five micron particles were measured after the filter, the beta ratio was 1,000.


We at Minimac Systems Pvt Ltd. provide services of Total Lubrication Management and Lubrication Consulting that help you optimize your Lubrication needs.


In the realm of filters and filtration, the Beta Ratio assumes a significant job.


There have been complaints of breakdowns in hydraulic systems primarily because of the inappropriate Beta Ratio and significant levels of generous defilement.


Beta Ratio acquires the adequacy of the hydraulic system. It helps in the anticipation of the disappointment of the filtration procedure.


It is the Beta Ratio, a rating framework that helps the clients, the filter manufacturer just as the filter user, to get the right image of the adept filter to utilize.


It causes a client to see how the quantities of particles present per unit volume may influence the whole system.


Each Beta factor corresponds to the efficiency of the filter, the same can be matched as per the chart.


So, to purchase a filter with a beta ratio of 2-10 is considered poor, it is advised to use filters with at least a Beta factor of 75 and 98.7% effectiveness.


High-quality efficient filter assemblies can achieve a 200 to 2000 Beta Ratio for given particle size and should be ideal to achieve a low level of contamination.


The manufacturer of filters and filtration systems shows the Beta Ratio as a sign of care and standard.

Control System Of Turbine - Failure & Maintenance

Image
Control System The turbine control system describes the control over the opening of control valves corresponding to demand signals, and steam flows into the turbine with the help of a governing system that facilitates the operation of the turbo set in an interconnected grid system. Governing system is responsible for various function such as speed & load control functions, the start-up/shut-down controls, the over-speed control, turbine stress calculation, to control the initial run-up and synchronization of the Unit, to assists in matching the power generated to that demanded by responding to system frequency changes, to regulate the steam control valves position (and hence the load generated)in response to signal from the operator or from the load dispatch Centre, to restrict the speed rise within acceptable limits should the unit get disconnected (islanding) from the lgridoad and some protective trip functions. With continuous research and developments in modern turbine technolo

Reconditioning of EH Oil

Image
A 1200 MW coal-fired thermal power plant using Into-Chinese Turbine EHC System in Southern India. The Plant was struggling with the rapid increase in TAN values in the EH oil of the governing system of the turbine. Also, the moisture content was more than permissible limits. Degradation of the oil was due to contamination ingression into the system resulting in by-product formation. Minimac’s EH oil reconditioning system “ MLC LVDH TRIX 20 ” proved to be the savior and an unexpected shutdown of the turbine worth ₹1.05 Cr per day was saved . PROBLEMS A rapid increase in the Total Acid Number (TAN) could degrade the EH oil and lead to the possibilities of failure of servo valve, hunting, power generation loss, unplanned shutdown, etc. Oil Analysis was done to check the properties of EH oil like Moisture, NAS value, Total Acid Number. SOLUTIONS Installation of Minimac’s EH Oil Reconditioning System “ MLC LVDH TRIX 20 ” is comprehensively designed with 4 major technologies to: Remove solid

 The secret recipe of the growth story at Minimac Syste ms has been its capability to drive technological advancement in the field of contamination control for lubrication reliability. Research and development on technology and products have always been the key reason to keep the Minimac products a step ahead of its competitors in the market. Technological development has been one of the core competencies which Minimac possesses, thereby ensuring a definite competitive advantage. Contaminations in lubricants are of various types and characteristics depending on the lubricant, equipment application, ambient conditions, age of equipment, etc. In order to control, separate or eliminate the contamination, there are multiple techniques. Each technique has pros and cons and hence there is no single technology that can be considered universally better than others. ​ Minimac Systems over the years has become equipped with almost all the technologies which are required for contaminat
