Characteristics of the unit 

The service-friendly VarnishMitigation Units VMU are used to condition 

mineral oil-based turbine oils. They are particularly effective at removing oil 

degradation products (varnish) from mineral oils. 
Varnish takes the form of oil-insoluble oil degradation products which settle 

in the tank, in valves or in bearings. These can be filterable gels or solid 

paint-type deposits. 
The VMU series of units are used in the bypass flow. The removal of varnish 

is based on adsorption on an active surface. 
The advantages of the VMU are: 

•

  Inexpensive oil conditioning 

•

  Low component wear 

•

  Longer service life of the oil 

•

  Quick and easy cartridge exchange 

•

  Low operating costs 

•

  Compact construction, less space requirement 

•

  Lower disposal costs 

•

  Optionally available filling pump, prefilter and protective filter
