What is gravity disc ?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe gravity disc is important part of purifier, which set the location of the oil, and water interface line, which is variable according to the maker\u2019s design.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. How to choose the correct size of gravity disc ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) can choose it. Separation temperature 2) density of oil at this temperature 3) desired through put of oil and by using of nomogram .<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What is paring disc ?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is a stationary impeller mounted in a chamber at the neck of the bow.<br \/>\nIt function is convert the rotating energy into a pressure head.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. What about water washing ?<\/strong><br \/>\nWater washing is widely used techniques to remove acids, salts, and other impurities from the oil.<br \/>\nThe oil must be straight mineral oils or without dispersant additive oils.<br \/>\nWater should be injected into the oil before purifying at a rate of between 3 to 5% of the oil flow that is continuously renews the water seal in the purifier bowl.<br \/>\nThe oil temperature should be around 75 \u00b0C and water temperature about 5 \u00b0C higher than oil .It can be done continuously or intermittently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. What is steam jetting ?<\/strong><br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 By blowing steam into the engine lube oil just pair to its purification.<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Coagulation of colloidal carbon will occur.<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Purifier will remove this carbon more effectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Compare purifier and clarifier ? Purifier Clarifier<\/strong><br \/>\na. Remove water and suspended a. Remove finer and lighter particles<br \/>\nSolids particles from oils from oil<br \/>\nb. Two outlets water and clean oil b. one outlet for clean oil<br \/>\nc. Gravity disc on top c. No gravity disc only sealing ring<br \/>\nd. Blind disc on the top of disc stack d. Blind disc at bottom.<br \/>\ne. Sealing water required e. Sealing water not required<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. How do you change purifier to clarifier ?<\/strong><br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Open up the purifier and set the blind disc at the bottom of the disc stack.<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 The water outlet is blocked by a seal on the gravity disc.<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Blank off the sealing water inlet line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. What is purifier, clarifier ?<\/strong><br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Purifier is a centrifuge, which is arranged to separate water and solid impurities from oil.<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Clarifier is a centrifuge, which is arranged to separate finer solid impurities from the oil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. How to change purifier from H.O to D.O ?<\/strong><br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Replace the gravity disc, which is smaller than the heavy oil<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Open heater by pass vale.<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Closed the F. O heater steam in\/out valves.<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Open heater drains v\/v.<br \/>\nRemarks. Pure D.O purifier cannot change to H.O, it has no heater.<br \/>\nPure clarifier cannot change to purifier, it has no water outlet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Why multidisc provided ?<\/strong><br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 To separate the liquid into thin layer &amp; create shallow settling distance between discs.<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Improving separation of oil from heaver liquids &amp; solids particle<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. Cause of excessive vibration on purifier<\/strong><br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Sludge too much<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Foundation damper &amp; spring failure<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Bearing failure<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Worn gear<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Uneven wear of frictional clutch<br \/>\n\udbc0\udc40 Motor speed too high or too low<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. Explain purifier over flow<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Incorrect purifier disc size (inside diameter too large)<br \/>\n2. Too low fuel oil temperature<br \/>\n3. Too much rate of throughput<br \/>\n4. Too much sludge inside the bowl<br \/>\n5. Low speed (rpm) of bowl rotation<br \/>\n6. Sealing water failure<br \/>\n7. Operating water failure<br \/>\n8. Worn out main sealing ring<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why have not get enough rpm when purifier is running ?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Improper touching with friction clutch (worn out frictional clutch)<br \/>\n2. Touching with break<br \/>\n3. Excessive sludge in the bowl<br \/>\n4. Bearing failure<br \/>\n5. Motor running at overload<br \/>\n6. One phase power failure (Single phasing)<br \/>\n7. Sump oil level too high<br \/>\n8. Vertical shaft and horizontal shaft are out of alignment<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to adjust bowl height ?<\/strong><br \/>\n\udbc0\udcac By turning vertical shaft adjust screw<br \/>\n\udbc0\udcac By shim by bowl body<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
