Electrostatic Liquid Cleaning Machines
Description
Electrostatic Liquid Cleaning (ELC) technology is designed to extend the lifespan of industrial fluids like hydraulic oils, coolants, and lubricants by removing contaminants such as dust, dirt, and metal particles. This purification process not only enhances the efficiency and functionality of machinery but also promotes a healthier and safer working environment by maintaining clean fluid conditions.
Working principle
ELC machines operate on a principle of electrostatic attraction. Inside the machine, a high-voltage electrostatic field is created. As the contaminated fluid passes through this field, particles within the fluid that carry any electric charge are attracted to oppositely charged electrodes placed within the chamber. These particles adhere to the electrodes and are removed from the fluid. The clean fluid then exits the machine, significantly free of contaminants. This process effectively purifies the fluid without changing its chemical makeup, ensuring that the fluid continues to perform its intended function effectively.
