Installation
Two basic steps are necessary to avoid expensive stop periods of a turbine: a good preparation for the assembly of a new filter system and a quick carrying out. We offer you an installation service of your oil mist separator or you can complete it by yourself using our detailed documentation. For this reason, Franke Filter considers necessary connecting to the existing flanges at the right position, to allow a quick and straightforward assembly. The place for installation of the filter system is variable due to your personal request and given room circumstances.
Place for installation – almost free of choice
Surely, the most simple and economic assembly of the oil mist separator would be next to the turbine on the oil tank. In this case, a length adjusted standpipe ensures the necessary geodesic height. The oil return of the filtered lube oil takes place automatically, thanks to the integrated oil return line. An installation of further lines is limited to leading of clean air into the atmosphere. Apart from this optimal variant of installation you can install the system in turbine height next to the oil tank with an additional frame. In case there is less or lacking room inside the turbine hall, we can realize an installation outside the turbine hall or even in the open air. Here, the installation of lines for contaminated air and oil return lines is more complex. The central aspect for a perfect function of all components is the already mentioned geodesic height which has to be maintained at all times. No matter which variant of installation is right for your application, we would be glad to take on the responsibility for the assembly of your system and supervise the putting into service.
Oil return & economising on pipe installations
The filtered lube oil returns into the lube oil tank over the integrated oil return line. Franke Filter has also developed reliable provisional solutions, in case there is a long distance to be overcome. Always considering the geodesic height, filtered lube oil can be led into the lube oil tank through siphons or primarily store in a small tank which, to your desire, can be additionally equipped with a pump. A compact and individual design of our filter systems allows its assembly in the narrowest space at turbines. In extraordinary cases, when there is no room, you still can economise time and materials. An important issue occurred when developing the concept of our system was, why we should install clean air pipes out of doors? – This need not necessarily be. The degree of separation of more than 99.99% and the efficiency of our systems make these costs superfluous. Directly over a short piece of connecting pipe clean and pure filtered air will be emitted into the environment, e.g. the turbine hall.
