Anti Static Filter Element
Static discharge is a common problem in the lubricating oil systems of today's turbo-machinery. Type II lubricant base stocks exhibit very low fluid conductivity. As a result, static charges can build on the non-conductive components of the lube oil system, such as the filter elements. When a sufficient charge is accumulated, a static discharge occurs between two points of differing potentials. Over time static discharge contributes to oil degradation and varnish build-up throughout the system.
Hilco PH-CGJ style filter elements incorporate conductive fibers which are co-pleated in between two layers of high-performance micro glass filter media. As a result, the Hilco anti-static filter element dissipates static charge build-up before discharge can occur. The Hilco CGJ style elements are available in every standard Hilco media grade code. Hilco offers full laboratory services and can verify the conductivity of a user's oil if a static discharge problem is suspected.
