🔍 Key Concepts

• Centrifugal lube oil purifiers basic purpose and how bowl speed affects separation efficiency • Difference between operating a purifier as a clarifier vs. as a separator (water seal, removal of water vs. solids only) • Manufacturer’s design speed and flow rate recommendations for proper operation

💭 Think About

• Think about how centrifugal force is created in a purifier and what effect operating below design speed would have on separation of water and solids from the oil. • Consider what changes when you run the same machine as a clarifier instead of a separator. Which mode is normally used when you are specifically concerned about removing water from lube oil? • Ask yourself whether lube oil purifiers are generally run gently to preserve machinery, or tuned to their designed operating point for best purification.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which mode (clarifier vs. separator) uses a water seal and is intended to remove both water and solids from the oil. • Check which operating parameter (speed/throughput) the maker specifies as critical to achieve the necessary g-force for separation. • Confirm whether maximum design speed is the same as overspeed, and whether exam questions typically imply staying within the manufacturer’s rated limits.
