3.3 Batch and continuous lubricating systems
3.3 Batch and continuous lubricating systems For small or medium units without a circulatory lubricating system, the oil is often treated on the batch system As large a quantity of oil as possible is drained from the engine at intervals and run into a heating tank, the system being replenished with clean oil at the same time The heated oil is run through the purifier and pumped back to the main oil tank
3.3 Batch and continuous lubricating systems • For small or medium units without a circulatory lubricating system, the oil is often treated on the batch system. • As large a quantity of oil as possible is drained from the engine at intervals and run into a heating tank, the system being replenished with clean oil at the same time. • The heated oil is run through the purifier and pumped back to the main oil tank
3.3 Batch and continuous lubricating systems For removing soluble sludge, a system combining the batch and continuous systems Is effective The used oil drains to a tank. where it is allowed to rest for about ten days The oil cools and any sludge settles. The oil is then drawn off, run through the purifier, and pumped to the clean oil tank

3.3 Batch and continuous lubricating systems When the oil in use shows signs of sludging, it is drained off, the clean oil is pumped into the system and the cycle re started The purifier is used on the continuous system all the time, except for the short period when the batch of oil from the dirty oil tank is being purified
3.3 Batch and continuous lubricating systems • When the oil in use shows signs of sludging, it is drained off, the clean oil is pumped into the system and the cycle restarted. • The purifier is used on the continuous system all the time, except for the short period when the batch of oil from the dirty oil tank is being purified
