Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable removal of very fine sludge which has not been infeasible and to eliminate use of cleaning tank, by collecting fine sludge in an oil into enlarged sludge and separating the sludge by a centrifugal separator CONSTITUTION:A tank to store contaminated oils is equipped with a circuit consisting of pumps 2, 4 and 9, a pressure-control valve 13, a heater 5, a three- way valve 14, a sludge collector 10 and a centrifugal separator 11. First fine sludge in the oil is collected by change of the three-way valve 14 by the sludge collector 10 into enlarged sludge. Then the enlarged sludge is separated by the centrifugal separator 11, removed and the circuit is maintained at low pressure of about 0.5kg/cm<2> by the pressure-control valve 13 to clean the oils.

). Such two processes of centrifugation and filtration
Although we were able to clean the lubricating oil to a considerable extent by using two methods, there were only three slags that could be removed by the darning method.
The size of the sludge is limited to ~5μ, and sludge finer than this cannot be removed, so it has not been possible to keep the content of insoluble matter in the oil low. In addition, if the lubricating oil in the supply tank is poured directly into the filtration device without using a clean tank separate from the supply tank, the filtration device will quickly become clogged with coarse sludge, so a separate clean tank is required. was required to be used.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the means adopted by the present invention is to install pumps, pressure regulating valves,
A cleaning circuit consisting of a heater, a three-way switching valve, a sludge accumulation device, and a centrifugal separator is installed. First, the sludge accumulation device is bypassed by switching the three-way switching valve, and coarse sludge in the oil is centrifuged using only the centrifuge. By switching the three-way switching valve, the fine colloidal sludge in the oil is collected and coarsened by the sludge accumulator, which is then separated and removed by the centrifuge, and at the same time, the pressure regulating valve is used to collect 0.5 kg/kg of sludge in the circuit.
It is characterized by being maintained at a low pressure of about cx2.
