Product catalog summary
Overview
The Separator Performance Tester SPT 140 is designed for testing oil mist separators, focusing on capture rate, flowrate curve, pressure regulation, and leakage. It operates under both positive and negative pressure conditions with temperature-controlled environments.

Application
The test rig evaluates oil mist separators by measuring separated and passed oil amounts using the gravimetric method. It simulates typical operating conditions and records pressure control characteristics.

Special Advantages
  • Wide flow rate range for overpressure and underpressure modes.
  • Special mode for testing pressure control valves.
  • Adjustable sample holder for various dimensions.
  • Heatable test chamber up to 120°C (248°F).
  • Closed-loop test air recovery system with cooling stage.
  • Software-guided testing procedure with Windows software for control and data export.

Design
The test rig includes a volumetric flow unit, aerosol generator, gravimetric collection efficiency measurement facility, and various sensors and controllers. It requires connections for electric power, pressurized air, and cooling water.

Principle
The ATM 243 aerosol generator produces stable particle size distribution and concentration. The LDG 244 generator is used for coarse oil dosage, generating large oil droplets.

Control and Data Acquisition Software SPTWin
The SPTWin software provides automated test procedures, manual control options, data monitoring, and presentation features. It supports English and German languages.

TOPAS S Separator Performance Tester SPT 140 Special Advantages Wide range of flow rate for overpressure and underpressure operation mode Օ Special operating mode for testing pressure control valves Sample holder adjustable for different sample dimension Օ Heatable test chamber (ambient temperature up to 120°C/248°F) Closed loop test air recovery system (with cooling stage) Օ Aerosol generation by means of ATM 243 and/or LDG 244 Safe test chamber with hinged cover Օ Software guided testing procedure Convenient Windows software for test rig control, data acquisition and data export Separator Performance Tester SPT 140 Filter Test Rig for oil mist separators Application The test rigs purpose is the testing of oil mist separators re capture rate, flowrate curve (pressure loss relative to flowrate), pressure regulation curve and leakage. The unit to be tested will be fed with an oil aerosol (flowrate and temperature adjustable) either in positive or negative pressure conditions. The immediate vicinity of the filter is temperature controlled. During the collection efficiency measurement the separated and the let-to-pass oil amounts are measured in dependence on the volumetric flow. They are automatically recorded, applying the gravimetric method, by means of an absolute filter. The amount of oil leaving the separator can be recorded online. Additionally, the leakage of the oil drain valve can be measured. The test rig simulates the operating conditions in typical fields of oil aerosol separator application. When recording the pressure control characteristic, the Մpressure in the crankcase" is simulated in dependence on the suction pipe pressure" for different flow rates. Test chamber (opened) with upstream and downstream test piece connectors, being adjustable for different test object sizes. Integrated in the rear plate the heater blower combination.

Atomizer Arosol Generator ATM 243 Large Droplet Generator LDG 244 Atomizer Aerosol Generator ATM 243 Aerosol Generator LDG 244 for coarse oil dosage The ATM 243 was specially developed to meet the requirements on test aerosol to be produced for testing oil separators (and is subject to utility model protection). Its design ensures a highly stable particle size distribution and concentration with high reproducibility and high aerosol output. The oil is atomized by binary nozzles. The binary nozzles as well as the carrier gas and the oil storage are heated to the required temperature. For special...
