Product catalog summary
Introduction
Kleentek's electrostatic oil cleaners are designed to address varnish and contamination issues in industrial machinery. Varnish, a by-product of oil oxidation, can significantly impair machine performance by increasing friction and attracting contaminants.

Varnish Problems and Solutions
Varnish leads to control instability, constant valve adjustments, reduced performance, erratic cycle times, increased downtime, and slow start-ups. Kleentek's technology removes insoluble contaminants, including varnish, by cleaning the system internally and extending lubricant life.

Technology and Benefits
Kleentek systems use electrostatic technology to remove contaminants of all sizes, unlike traditional filters that only capture large particles. This results in varnish-free circuits, extended oil life, reduced unplanned outages, improved heat exchanger performance, energy savings, and extended seal life.

System Components
The system includes a pump, motor, inlet and outlet for oil flow, a high-capacity collector, high voltage electrode, fluid switch, stainless steel tank, and control panel. It is suitable for various non-conductive fluids like hydraulic, lubricating, and turbine oils.

Industries Served
Kleentek serves multiple industries, including power generation, pulp and paper, refining, injection molding, automotive, steel processing, and marine, by eliminating varnish-related failures and improving system reliability.

Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for different models (N, R, S series), including flow rates, dimensions, and oil viscosity requirements.

Conclusion
Kleentek's electrostatic oil cleaners offer advanced technology and unparalleled performance, making them a critical component of reliability programs in industrial applications. The systems are designed for continuous operation and provide significant return on investment by reducing maintenance costs and improving machine performance.

Electrostatic Oil Cleaners - Kleentek Models N, R, & S-2

Entire System ensuring Optimal machine performance Varnish Deteriorates Machine Performance As machinery runs, a chemical process called oxidation occurs — forming tar, varnish and sludge. Varnish acts as a catalyst to shorten the life of lubricants. In addition, the tacky nature of varnish attracts other contaminants, converting smooth metal surfaces to sandpaper. Products of oil oxidation coat the hydraulic servo, proportional and cartridge valves which forces the friction in these valves to increase. Unfortunately, the change in friction in these highly sensitive, close tolerance components...

The end of contaminants and system downtime Typical VarnishRelated Problems Kleentek systems have the unique ability to draw contaminants of all sizes out of the oil, trapping them on the surface of a collector. This removal of all insoluble contaminants, including tars and varnishes, allows you to achieve ultimate machine performance. Traditional mechanical filters remove only large particles, while Kleentek electrostatic systems are particle size independent, allowing submicronic particles as well as large contaminants to be removed from any nonconductive liquid. This means that only insoluble...

Advanced Technology, Unparalleled Performance Kleentek utilizes a kidney-loop process that draws oil from a main reservoir and circulates it at very low velocity. The result: continual removal of contaminants from hydraulic fluids and lubricating oils. Using the principles of electrostatics to collect fluid contaminants, Kleentek’s patented design utilizes gradient force, allowing it to take advantage of the natural charge that each contaminant contains. Contaminants with a positive charge are drawn toward a negative electrode within the system, while those with an inherent negative charge are...

Kleentest Kleentest goes beyond traditional testing because we check products of oil oxidation at the molecular level, as well as checking for particulate. By performing a Colormetric test — the analysis of insoluble oil contamination of hydraulic and lubricating oils ­ Kleentek can effectively identify varnish potential. — This procedure involves drawing oil and soluble additives through a 0.45 micron filter patch, leaving only the insoluble portion (real contaminants) behind. The insoluble portion is identified by the color and shade of stain. A Spectrophotometer analyzes the light reflectance...
