STUDY IN THE FIELD OF FLUID CONTAMINATION AND THE METHODS REQUIRED TO RESTORE AND EVALUATE THE CONTAMINANT CAPACITY OF USED FILTER ELEMENTS
Abstract
Contamination of hydraulic fluid filters was investigated. Performance equations for hydroclone operation were developed and experimentally verified. Hydroclones demonstrated 100% separation efficiencies for 10-micron particles. A semiautomatic hydroclone test stand was developed for obtaining separation efficiency of a filter (either hydroclone or conventional element) and for evaluation of cleaning methods. Contamination equipment included the Coulter particle counter, a chemical cleaning stand, an ultrasonic cleaning facility, and a filter evaluation stand. KC-135 and F-105 filter elements and hydraulic fluid samples were evaluated.
