With the use of the new polyolester (POE) oils, system chemistry changed. Unlike mineral and alkylbenzene oils, POE oil has solvent-like tendencies. POE oil has the ability to suspend and recirculate small, solid contaminants left from system installation or retrofit. Analysis of POE oil samples taken from actual systems have shown the oil to suspend and recirculate a high concentration of 2-20 micron sized particles, with the largest percentage between 2-10 microns. Although some particles are smaller than bearing tolerances, studies have shown bearing life can still be affected. Bearing wear depends upon the size, hardness, and concentration of particles in circulation. To effectively remove these small particles, Sporlan developed a new type of oil filter. The OF Series Oil Filters are designed to be 99% efficient in removing 3 micron sized particles and yet have sufficient flow capacity at a low pressure drop. The unsurpassed filtration ability of the oil filters will assure clean POE, mineral or alkylbenzene oil is returned to the compressors. Clean oil ensures proper operation of the oil level control and minimizes compressor wear. The Sporlan OF Series Oil Filters were designed to virtually eliminate the need for oil changes resulting from suspended solid contaminants in circulation.
