Importance of Filter Carts and how to select the right one?

 

A lubricant filter cart is an important tool that can be used in many ways. From filtering all types of new and used oil to taking samples and transferring oil, filter carts are considered to be a must-have for an effective lubrication program. Oil filter carts have many benefits; they can be customized to fit any plant as per the uses and specifications. If designed, it can also give a warning if the unit needs servicing.


The uses and importance of filter carts are as follows

  1. For cleaning the lubricants stored

  2. For transferring the filtered oil to a machine or containers

  3. For reconditioning of oil (currently in use)

  4. For flushing (power, line, wand, etc.)

  5. For contamination control functions (hose cleaning)

  6. For meeting cleanliness standards

How to select the right filter cart?

If you don’t want your money to get wasted, select the right filter cart considering the below check-points:

  1. Check the type of oil before buying a filter cart because carts are designed as per the viscosity levels. If a plant uses different types of oil then multiple filter carts are to be used.

  2. Choose a filter cart that can be carried easily to the place of its application. Here, you have to consider the source of power as well.

  3. Knowing your oil cleanliness target is very important before you buy filter carts. Don’t depend on the ISO standards entirely to evaluate used oil. Considering the specification of the type of oil is vital. We know that when viscosity increases, the cleanliness level decreases.

  4. Check the oil flow rate. Powerful carts will cost you more, so it’s very important to know the filter’s flow rate before buying.

  5. Customization of filter cart can be done, check before you buy if it matches your requirements or not. For example, the installation of bypass valves, dual filters, etc.


It is always better to take a second opinion than to stick with a single thought. It’s advisable to have a discussion with your filter distributor or manufacturer to find the best option. Remember that the filter cart must be chosen carefully and effectively to meet the cleanliness goals.

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

 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

Storage Management of Oil Products and its Importance.

Image
Product storage is an important criterion for any segment of products. It plays a vital role in the longevity of the products, every product in any form has a certain life period and this life period forms the baseline of the product. Coming to the lubricating oil industry, product life period plays an important role in the smooth running of the machinery and the plant. As these oils play a very important role in the day to day functioning of critical machinery, so if not maintained properly these can lead to the breakdown of machinery thereby leading to a shutdown of the plant which leads to the incurrence of huge loss. Therefore it is very important that these oils should be used well in advance before their life period expires. We can hereby pen down certain prerequisite conditions for storage of lubricants: 1.  Pre usage Inspection : It is mandatory to verify their performance properties & conditions with oil analysis for the oils that have been kept for a long pe
