  1. Fluid Power Energy, Inc. Oil Cleaning Centrifuge

  2. What is Spin-Clean? • A true centrifuge that, when sized properly, will remove the dense wear abrasives from oil down to below 1 micron • Will not use more than 10% of engine oil pump output at any given time • The centrifuge removes the solids from the engine oil using centrifugal force – 1000 G’s • Significantly reduces engine wear, sludge build-up, & acid formation

  3. How it works Pressurized oil enters Spin-Clean on bottom right. (Inlet) Oil enters into turbine, begins to fill, and pressurizes. Oil exits out of the two nozzles at the bottom of the turbine at a very high velocity, thus causing the turbine to spin. As the oil exits the shaft in the turbine bowl the solid particles are whipped against the inner wall of the bowl at a high rate of speed. Solid particles down to below 1 micron are captured on the inside wall of the turbine bowl creating a dense cake-like solid. Clean oil exits the centrifuge into the engine sump.

  4. Why Spin-Clean? • Engine manufactures install full-flow filters that only remove particles from the oil down to 20-25 micron • Increase the interval between oil/filter changes • Significantly increase engine life • Go Green – better for the environment • Serves as a diagnostic tool

  5. Spin-Clean waste • Actual Spin-Clean bowl after 2000 hours • “Cake” accumulates on inner wall of turbine bowl • Easy to clean – minimal down time

  6. More Examples Lapping Oil Engine Oil

  7. Additional Benefits • Aids in detecting excessive wear problems • Aids in the detection of coolant leaks • Improves engine up time • Reduces hazardous waste fees • Will not remove oil additives or conditioners • Centrifuge can be cleaned while the engine is running • Easily installed

  15. What to Know When Sizing a Spin-Clean • Engine Make, and Model • Oil Sump Capacity (Gallons) • Oil Pump Output (GPM) @ what RPM

  16. How to Size a Centrifuge-Sizing Chart

  17. Sizing Notes • Spin-Clean uses 10% of the oil sump capacity at any given time. • The volume of oil in the system may be used to determine the type and number of centrifuges to be fitted. • A centrifuge should be specified to ensure that the total crankcase oil capacity passes through the centrifuge(s), no less than four times in an hour. • The optimum oil inlet pressure for a centrifuge ranges from 60 to 80 psi, but units can be operated at a maximum of 100 psi or a minimum of 30 psi.

  18. Sizing Example 30 Gal Sump -Turned 4 times per hour -Requires Centrifuge capable of turning 120 Gal per hour (30 x 4 = 120 Gal) Model 75 – 60 GPH / 30 Gal = 2 turns per hour Model 150 – 120 GPH / 30 Gal = 4 turns per hour Model 300 – 240 GPH / 30 Gal = 8 turns per hour

  20. Installation • Due to different field applications, different engine sizes, and other unforeseen circumstances we offer several installation options. All originate from these two methods. • -Gravity drain • Spin-Clean is mounted higher than the crankcase – Gravity forces oil to drain from Spin-Clean down to engine crankcase. • -Oil Control Base (OCB) • This option is used if the Spin-Clean is mounted below the engine crankcase. Compressed air (.02 SCFM) is used to pressurize the Spin-Clean unit sending oil back up to the crankcase.
