C.C.Jensen & Varnish Removal

Varnish, sludge, resin...

...whatever you call it, it's nasty and it's wreaking havoc on your equipment!

         

Varnish production in oil systems is a complicated but common process; it starts as the oil oxidizes and degrades, is catalyzed by such contaminants as water, copper and other wear metals, and is accelerated with heat...  for every 7°C increase in oil temperature, the reaction rate doubles! 

The ideal solution is to design the system so that the oil is not exposed to these conditions, but in reality it is next to impossible; the oil degrades over time, friction creates wear metals, temperature change creates condensation, and heat generation is unavoidable through use of the fluid to perform work!  What this all adds up to is sticky valves, gooey inside surfaces, failed equipment, and lost production due to downtime.

Varnish cannot be filtered mechanically!

CC Jensen FilterInserts use polar adsorption to remove varnish.  The cellulose composition of the FilterInsert attracts the varnish particles, and due to its huge mass is able to retain several kilograms of varnish! 

Below are several useful references proving CC Jensen's ability to remove the varnish while still maintaining 3 micron absolute filtration and water removal.  (Some of the documents are viewable in more than 1 format.)

Due to the severity of contamination on this system, an accelerated test was carried out to determine the projected cleanliness using C.C.Jensen adsorption technology
