The role of oil and gas filtration equipment

Oil and gas filtration equipment plays a vital role in industrial production and mechanical operation. It is mainly used to deal with pollutants in compressed air, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil and other media to ensure efficient and stable operation of the system.

Main functions of oil and gas filtration equipment:

1. Remove pollutants

- Solid particles: filter dust, metal debris, wear particles, etc., to prevent mechanical parts from being scratched or blocked.

- Liquid impurities: separate water in the oil (such as condensed water, emulsion) and impurities mixed with the oil.

- Aerosol and oil mist: remove oil mist and tiny droplets in the compressed air system.

2. Protect equipment

- Extend life: reduce the wear of particles on precision parts (such as hydraulic pumps, bearings, cylinders).

- Prevent corrosion: remove moisture and acidic substances to reduce the risk of equipment rust.

- Avoid blockage: keep the oil and gas circuits unobstructed to prevent valves, nozzles, etc. from failing due to pollution.

3. Improve system efficiency

- Maintain oil quality: Ensure the cleanliness of lubricating oil/hydraulic oil, reduce friction and energy loss.

- Stabilize air pressure and flow: In compressed air systems, filtering equipment can reduce pressure fluctuations and improve the performance of pneumatic tools or instruments.

- Reduce downtime maintenance: Through continuous filtration, the frequency of failures caused by contamination is reduced.

4. Ensure product quality

- Clean production environment: In industries such as food, medicine, and electronics, filtering equipment can prevent oil or particles from contaminating products.

- Process stability: For example, in processes such as spraying and injection molding, ensure the purity of the medium to improve the quality of the finished product.

5. Energy saving and environmental protection

- Reduce waste oil emissions: Through filtration, the service life of oil products is extended, and the replacement frequency and waste oil treatment costs are reduced.

- Comply with environmental standards: Avoid leakage of oil or particles and meet industry specifications such as ISO 8573 (compressed air).

Typical application scenarios

- Industrial machinery: machine tools, injection molding machines, compressors, etc.

- Energy field: gas turbine, wind turbine, lubrication system.

- Transportation: ship, aircraft, hydraulic system, automobile engine lubrication.

- Precision manufacturing: air source purification in semiconductor and optical instrument production.

Common equipment types

- Oil filter: used for the lubrication system (such as oil suction filter, pressure filter).

- Air filter: handles impurities in compressed air (such as a coalescing filter, an activated carbon filter).

- Oil and gas separator: separate oil from compressed air (common in screw compressors).

Through reasonable selection and maintenance, oil and gas filtration equipment can significantly improve system reliability and reduce operating costs, and is an indispensable part of industrial equipment.
