are to be used.
The nominal capacity of the centrifuge <strong>is</strong> to be
according to the supplier’s recommendation for
lubricating oil, based on the figures:
0.136 litre/kWh
The Nominal MCR <strong>is</strong> used as the total installed
power.
L<strong>is</strong>t of lubricating oils
The circulating oil (lubricating and cooling oil)
must be of the rust and oxidation inhibited type of
oil of SAE 30 v<strong>is</strong>cosity grade.
In order to keep the crankcase and p<strong>is</strong>ton cooling
spaces clean of deposits, the oil should have adequate
d<strong>is</strong>persion and detergent properties.
Alkaline circulating oils are generally superior in
th<strong>is</strong> respect.
