Reducer of Fluid oXidation
Introduction
Introduction
In hydraulic systems or in other technical systems where oil is used for power transmission,
lubrication or insulation, the absorption of air and water has a poisioning affect. Air and water
reduce not only the lifetime of the oil but also function and reliability of the system. This
poisoning effect is spontaneously added through the oil’s contact with the atmospheric air
and cannot be avoided without special arrangements.

New oil contains air and water. The size is proportional.
Oil absorbs at normal atmospheric pressure approximately 10 % air by volume.
An oil reservoir with 100 dm

clear oil can through vacuum treatment release 10 dm

air of
atmospheric pressure. The same oil can also contain between 100–1000 ppm water
depending on its base stock. The oil in the reservoir can therefore contain 10–100 cm³ water
and still be clear.
The RFX continuousely treats oil with vacuum and reduces air and water level in oil to
harmless levels. The RFX is simple to install as an integrated part of the system and needs
only low power that most of the time can be delivered by the system itself.
The RFX is used when the demands of oil conditon are high, when reliability and long life of
the hydraulic system are important and/or the reduction of volume and weight for the
hydraulic installation is wanted.
