Gas and steam power plants use lube oil centrifuges to keep the lubricating oil clean and dry. These applications involve hi-efficiency separation of oil and water. They also remove fine sediment from the lube oil.
Condensate leaks from cooling systems contaminate lube oil with water. Sludge particles originating from the combustion process or wear on moving parts contaminate lube oil.
An Alfa Laval lube oil centrifuge removes all solid contaminants & water from the lubricating oil. Purified lube oil is desirable for trouble-free operation of turbines and engines.
These centrifuges are also known as lubricating oil purifier.
