This thermostat shall be set at slightly higher temperature than that of controlling Thermostats. There will be preset safety thermostat before digital temperature controller.
One suitable Pressure Relief Valve shall be provided on the Heater Chamber to prevent any pressure rise above the acceptable limit.
03. FILTRATION SYSTEM
Filtration System shall consist of the following:
(A) PRELIMINARY FILTER- ( MAGNETICK STAINER)
The main function of this Filter shall be to prevent any damage to the Inlet Pump. It shall have strainers capable of retaining all particles above 1 mm size and also magnetic particles. Incoming oil shall pass through this Filter. (Filter housing designed for easy cleaning / replacement of the choked cartridges) without dismantling the pipeline.
( B) CARTRIDGE FILTER
Non-hygroscopic throw away type Cartridge Filters of one 01 Micron rating shall be provided. This Cartridge Elements shall have large dust holding capacity. The replacement of Cartridge Elements is very easy and can be done without any special tools. The Housing / Vessel are suitable for high vacuum and pressure applications. Compound (Pressure / Vacuum) Gauge shall be provided on Filter Vessel for inlet pressure indication in order to ascertain condition of Cartridge Elements. Aeration shall be provided on the Filter Vessel to aerate the Vessel during draining. The Cartridge type Filter shall facilitate to achieve desired value of particle size in micron.
04. DEGASSING AND DEHYDRATION CHAMBER – SINGLE STAGE
The Degassing Chamber shall function as degasser and dehumidifier & shall be capable of removing dissolved gases and moisture from the oil. It shall be of M.S. and shall have welded construction. The Chamber shall be able to withstand the vacuum to which it shall be subjected. Efficiently spread Reaching Rings shall be placed in the Degassing Columns. The surface area offered by the reaching Rings shall be sufficient to form a thin film of oil and shall facilitate removal of dissolved gases and moisture at the rated flow rate of oil. A Slight Glass with Illuminating Lamp shall be provided for observation of oil flow one no’s of Float Switch on the Degassing Chamber shall be provided for preventing excess rise of oil / foam level. It shall be electrically interlocked with Inlet Pump. Single stages shall be separated by a Siphon Seal.
05. VACUUM PUMPING SYSTEM (FOR DEGASSING COLUMN)
A high efficiency rotary Vacuum Pump shall be provided for evacuation of Degassing Chamber. The Pump shall be of reputed make. A Manufacturer’s specifications for the same are as given below for reference.
