Hydraulic oil back�flushing<br />

The special sucti<strong>on</strong> arrangement for purifier sucti<strong>on</strong><br />

in c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> with the ME engine (Integrated<br />

system).<br />

The back-flushing oil from the self cleaning 0 µm<br />

hydraulic c<strong>on</strong>trol oil filter unit built <strong>on</strong>to the engine<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>taminated and it <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> therefore not expedient<br />

to lead it directly into the lubricating oil sump tank.<br />

The amount of back-flushed oil <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> large, and it<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>sidered to be too expensive to d<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g>card<br />

it. Therefore, we suggest that the lubricating<br />

oil sump tank <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> modified for the ME engines in<br />

order not to have th<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>taminated lubricating<br />

hydraulic c<strong>on</strong>trol oil mixed up in the total amount<br />

of lubricating oil. The lubricating oil sump tank <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

designed with a small ‘back-flushing hydraulic<br />

c<strong>on</strong>trol oil drain tank’ to which the back-flushed<br />

hydraulic c<strong>on</strong>trol oil <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> led and from which the lubricating<br />

oil purifier can also suck.<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Th<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g></str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> explained in detail below and the principle<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> shown in Fig. 8.08.0 . Three suggesti<strong>on</strong>s for the<br />

arrangement of the drain tank in the sump tank<br />

are shown in Fig. 8.08.02 illustrates another suggesti<strong>on</strong><br />

for a back-flushing oil drain tank.<br />

The special sucti<strong>on</strong> arrangement for the purifier <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

c<strong>on</strong>s<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g>ting of two c<strong>on</strong>nected tanks (lubricating oil<br />

sump tank and back-flushing oil drain tank) and<br />

of th<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> reas<strong>on</strong> the oil level will be the same in both<br />

tanks, as explained in detail below.<br />

The oil level in the two tanks will be equalizing<br />

through the ‘branch pipe to back-flushing oil drain<br />

tank’, see Fig. 8.08.0 . As the pipes have the<br />

same diameters but a different length, the res<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g>tance<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> larger in the ‘branch pipe to back-flushing<br />

oil drain tank’, and therefore the purifier will suck<br />

primarily from the sump tank.<br />

The oil level in the sump tank and the back-flushing<br />

oil drain tank will remain to be about equal because<br />

the tanks are interc<strong>on</strong>nected at the top.<br />

When hydraulic c<strong>on</strong>trol oil <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> back-flushed from<br />

the filter, it will give a higher oil level in the backflushing<br />

hydraulic c<strong>on</strong>trol oil drain tank and the<br />

purifier will suck from th<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> tank until the oil level <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

the same in both tanks. After that, the purifier will<br />

suck from the sump tank, as menti<strong>on</strong>ed above.<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Th<str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g></str<strong>on</strong>g> special arrangement for purifier sucti<strong>on</strong> will<br />

ensure that a good cleaning effect <strong>on</strong> the lubricati<strong>on</strong><br />

oil <str<strong>on</strong>g>is</str<strong>on</strong>g> obtained.<br />

If found profitable the back-flushed lubricating oil<br />

from the main lubricating oil filter (normally a 50 or<br />

40 µm filter) can also be returned into the special<br />

back-flushing oil drain tank.<br />
