Design and function
4.1.1
Application
The separator is a high-speed centrifugal
separator intended for marine and land
applications. It is specifically designed for
cleaning of mineral oils from water and solid
particles (sludge). The cleaned oil is discharged
continuously, while the sludge is discharged at
intervals. The separator handles the following
types of lubricating oils and low viscosity fuel
oils:
•
Distillate, viscosity 1,5 - 5,5 cSt/40 °C
•
Marine diesel oil, viscosity 13 cSt/40 °C
•
Intermediate fuel oil and heavy fuel oil (viscosity
30-600 cSt/50 °C)
•
Lubricating oil of R & O type, detergent or steam
turbine.
The separator can be operated either as a
purifier or as a clarifier.
When operated as a purifier the separator
discharges the separated water continuously.
When the oil contains only small amounts of
water the separator is operated as a clarifier,
discharging the water together with the solid
particles.
The separator has to be installed together with
devices for control of its operation.
