🔍 Key Concepts

• viscosity changes with temperature for lube oil • how a purifier/centrifuge separates water and solids from oil • the difference between too cool, ideal, and too hot oil temperatures

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to lube oil viscosity as temperature increases and how that affects the ability of the centrifuge to separate contaminants. • Consider what might happen inside the centrifuge bowl if the oil is much hotter than the maker’s recommended range. • Ask yourself: at which temperature range would the oil be fluid enough to separate well, but not so hot that it risks flashing off lighter components or damaging seals?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which range would give good flow and separation without being near water’s boiling point at atmospheric pressure. • Eliminate any temperature ranges that seem too low for efficient separation because the oil would still be very thick. • Eliminate any ranges that are unrealistically high for lube oil handling in normal purifier operations.
