OILKLEEN has developed a patent pending process and a unique blend of acid absorbing resin-matrix media in our
soluble varnish removal filter that fits in all OILKLEEN electrostatic filter housings. This cartridge has proven acid
absorption media that will absorb the soluble varnish and completely remove it from the system in a short period of
time.
During the oxidation process there are acidic molecules known as free radicals or "Soluble Varnish". These acidic molecules are soluble at higher temperatures (like during
operation) and will precipitate out of the oil during cooler times (like shut downs, or cool spots in the piping that are not circulating oil). The OILKLEEN Electrostatic oil cleaner can remove all varnish build up in system and all the
insoluble varnish and particulate in the oil. However, the soluble varnish will precipitate out when the oil is cooled and will show up in the oil. This can be seen in higher numbers on the colorimetric patch test, or cloudiness in the oil when
cooled down.
The OILKLEEN computer has a built in soluble varnish removal program that allows you to operate in
soluble varnish mode and once completed, then switch back to the OILKLEEN electrostatic filter
element for normal filtration and varnish removal. The OILKLEEN system is the only electrostatic
system that removes both insoluble varnish, particles to a molecule level, water, and soluble varnish in
one single system.
