Episode 12, Saving Time, Money, and the Planet: The Evolution and Benefits of Reducing Oxidation By-Products and Varnish

In this episode, we discuss the evolution of the industry's approach to varnish and review strategies to reduce oxidation and varnish production and extend oil life, saving time and money and increasing sustainability.

Hy-Pro’s Scott Howard leads this discussion with two of the most experienced and influential thought leaders in the industry: Peter Dufresne, CEO of EPT Clean Oil, and Aaron Hoeg, General Manager for Hy-Pro Filtration.

Key Takeaways:

• The industry’s approach to varnish control has changed, and new technologies are making it easier to solve varnish issues and prevent formation.
• Varnish is a complex problem, but there are a number of strategies that can be used to prevent it from forming.
• By following these strategies, you can extend the life of your oil and save time, money, and resources.

Why You Should Listen:

• This episode contains valuable information on how to prevent varnish formation in industrial oils.
• The guests are two of the most knowledgeable experts in the industry.

Dynamic Filter Efficiency

What is Dynamic Filter Efficiency?

Dynamic Filter Efficiency matches filter testing with real-life conditions. 

All hydraulic and lube systems have a critical contamination tolerance level that is often defined by, but not limited to, the most sensitive system component such as servo valves or high speed journal bearings. Defining the ISO fluid cleanliness code upper limit is a function of component sensitivity, safety, system criticality and ultimately getting the most our of hydraulic and lube assets. 

ISO Cleanliness Codes Explained

The ISO Cleanliness Code (per ISO4406-1999) is used to quantify particulate contamination levels per milliliter of fluid at 3 sizes - 4µ, 6µ, and 14µ. It is expressed in 3 numbers (example 19/17/14) where each number represents a contaminant level code for the correlating particle size. The code includes all particles of the specified size and larger.It is important to note that each time a code increases, the quantity range of particles is doubling. Inversely, as a code decreases by one the contaminant level is cut in half.
