Oil mist separator" is a technical term for filter systems, that will be installed, in electricity generating engines or turbines, e.g. in power plants. In order to ensure trouble-free operation, turbine bearings have to be lubricated. During operation, friction causes great heat, which is responsible for the formation of fine oil mist. These oil mist particles are often lead out into the atmosphere unfiltered.
Franke Filter oil mist separators offer the optimum solution. Oil mist is extracted from turbine bearings under constant vacuum. Fine oil mist droplets are combined to larger drops inside the filter system, and are then lead back into the lube oil tank. A clean cycle, which saves money and protects the environment.
