Reply to "electrostatic oil cleaning system"

I find confusing viws on properties of oil and working of electrostatic oil cleaner.
Basicallt electrostatic oil cleaner major application is for filtration of hydraulic oil which hardly contains 5 % additives. Secondly the high voltage applied is 10-12 KV which is much less than break down voltage of oil. Electrostatic oil cleanerremoves only the suspended particles in oil and does not in any way affect physical or chemical properties of oil.
The electrostatic oil cleaning is slower process than mechanical filtration. However, the cost of fine filtration even upto 5 microns using mechanical filtration is expensive operation as the dirt holding capacity of fine filtration elements is very limited and its price much higher as compared to collector media of electrostatic oil cleaner. We have achieved results uptp NAS class 5 cleanliness by using EOC. Hence EOC is an effective off-line cleaning equipment for hydraulic systems/machines.
