The Environment
Today's diesel engines need additional microscopic bypass oil filtration far more than ever before. Engine manufacturers now are forced to build engines with very little exhaust particulate emissions. The combustion process still produces gritty sooty by-products that now have nowhere else to go but into the oil. Oil suppliers are designing better oils that can keep these tiny partiles in suspension to normally still achieve the traditional oil change interval, however there is now much more dirt being pumped through all the bearing surfaces of the engine. This residue could be likened to diluted grinding paste!
If this new technology oil is kept clean, a very long engine life can be achieved. Because the centrifuge is non selective in it's particle filtration size, and does not require filter cartridges, it is unsurpassed in operating economies and filtration efficiencies. Clients who wish to reduce monthly operating costs as well as extend engine componentry life, find the spinner the most effective investment available to extend oil and filter change intervals. Enginecare Systems insist that you should use a quality oil sampling programme, and to work in with your respective oil and engine supplier, to ascertain the correct maximum oil & filter change intervals for your engine or machinery.
Never before has it been so important to use the very best available oils and 'bypass sub-micron filtration' to enhance your return on investment.
Environmental concern for the safe and efficient disposal of all engine waste products is growing worldwide. Legislation in many areas dictates that previously ignored scrap components must now be recycled to save the world's non-replenishable natural resources. Already, disposal of oil filter elements in landfill sites is prohibited in many US states; similar legislation is being introduced in Europe and other areas of the world - soon to be Australiasia.
The "dirty waste" contaminant removed by the centrifuge passes the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure known as TCLP. All SPINNER II centrifuges are designed to remove contaminant that is almost free from oil and that can be disposed as harmless waste in normal rubbish collection methods.
Many of the technologies used by engine manufacturers to reduce harmful exhaust emissions increase the level of soot in the lubricating oil. SPINNER II by-pass centrifuge technology has been proven to have the ability to remove large amounts of harmful combustion soot and therefore allowing the manufacturer to achieve future emission reductions in line with worldwide environmental legislation without compromising service intervals.
In many applications substantial environmental contirbutions can be achieved by using the ''cleanable screen, centrifuge'' concept, eg. if an oil change interval is able to be doubled that would result in a 50% reduction in oil and filter cartridge disposal. If cleanable screen full flow filtration and centriduges can be used there will be no filters to dump for the life of the engine. Obviously this also achieves a large financial saving as well as contribution to environmental waste reduction. The cleanable screen full flow filters must be only fitted if the engine is equipped with a SPINNER II centrifugal oil cleaning system.
