The new design removes water more efficiently than previous tanks, and the oil needs to be kept for a few minutes to separate out most of the undissolved water droplets. This increases the efficiency of water removal and helps to avoid water-related problems.

Dehydration is another feature of the storage tank and it impressed Kataja.

"Under normal operating conditions, the water content is low – compared to oil-specific water saturation points measured on Vaisala scales, the water content is about 3.4 to 0.4%. If water and oil are mixed in the circumstances, we can mix it Removal. It takes one day to use a storage tank, and it used to take us up to a week to use our storage tank. And, ordinary water separation systems are so efficient that we rarely use separate removal systems. "

The new tank design has other strengths. In addition to directing the water droplets downwards, the middle plate also separates the air bubbles and directs them upwards. New water tank design flow rate.

Online water separation

Although the separation capacity of the storage tank is limited in the event of water shock, the remaining water droplets (and dissolved water) can be separated using an online vacuum dehydrator. When the circulating oil reaches its operating temperature, the device automatically starts and uses a separate pump to generate a vacuum, in which water evaporates from the oil.

The system automatically controls vacuum pressure and temperature to prevent interruption of pumping or dry thin oil lubrication.
