Importance of fluid cleanliness in hydraulics
Looking to the modern machinery requirements hydraulics play a very active & crucial role in machine drives. As the high-precision machinery uses advanced hydraulic components like axial pumps & proportional valves maintenance of such elements is the most vital necessity. In hydraulics more than 80% of problems are due to contaminated fluid & so it is important to keep system fluid very clean & free of contaminants. Looking to these points latest concepts & methods of oil cleaning should be taken in prime consideration.

Some facts about contamination problem & filters
From time to time development has taken place for better method of oil cleaning. A continuous research & innovation is going on world-wide for Better & better filter technology.Contamination ingress in hydraulic system cannot be brought to zero.To clean the oil to a certain class is not difficult but what difficult is, to maintain that cleanliness level consistently during working cycles.As you go for fine filter you should be more careful & prompt to keep watch on filter clogging & replacement.We cannot keep hydraulic systems healthy without filters & protection to hydraulic system can be given by on-line filters only & not by other off-line cleaning methods.

Electrostatic cleaning method
Electrostatic cleaning can be useful to control micro-level contaminants. Particularly if your main trouble is fine particles this can be very useful method for off-line cleaning.

Filter is a must
• ELC is good technique for removal of micro-level contamination. ELC concept reduces the danger of hydraulic system malfunction where very small particles can affect severely. Moreover continuous running of ELC systems reduces load on working filters of the system.
• But a misconception that ELC can take place of filtration should be removed from one’s mind. On-line safety of hydraulic components can be achieved with protection filters only & not with ELC methods.
