E-mail: sales1@powerplantfilters.com BCA™ TECHNOLOGY The new Kaydon Varnish Removal System utilizes BCA™ Technology for sub-micron particulate removal and is designed for unattended operation in protecting your valuable equipment from varnish build up. Steam, combustion and hydroelectric turbines all face unique challenges for oil and fluid contamination. Beyond the traditional turbine oil contaminants of dirt and water, sub-micron particles can adversely affect the operation of servo valves and other internal metal components causing unscheduled downtime. The technology utilized in these systems assures removal of these varnish components suspended in your lubrication oils and over time can clean those lubricated surfaces experiencing varnish build up. There are three models currently available: KLV-10 KPV-10 KLV-361 Features Include: Sub-micron Purification Elimination of varnish build-up on valves & controls Removal of Products of Oxidation Oxidation degrades oil Improved Turbo Machinery Operation Downtime is reduced BCA™ TECHNOLOGY How it works... BCA™ Technology¹ is the process of inducing an electrical charge within an oil flow path to manipulate sub-micron particles to be negatively or positively charged. These oppositely charged particles experience attraction called "agglomeration." The agglomerated particles become large enough for Kaymax filter elements to capture them. Over time the ultra conditioned oil will also clean those lubricated surfaces in the system that are experiencing varnish build-up. ¹BCA Technology is a registered trademark of ISOPUR Fluid Technologies. Steam Turbine Lube Oil Steam turbines usually do not show immediate problems with varnish, but will after several years of service. During this time varnish forms and creates a reduction in cooler performance, increases wear for bearings and journal surfaces, causes bulk oil temperatures to rise, and increases make-up oil intervals due to an acceleration of oil additive depletion. Elimination of these problems is realized by adding BCA™ technology. BCA™ technology provides reduction of bearing and journal failures, returns bulk oil temperatures to normal levels, prevents excessive cooler maintenance, and reduces oil purchases and disposal costs. Combustion Turbine Lube Oil Turbine lube oil color darkening, increased bearing wear rates, increased oil temperatures, sluggish valve operations, and rise in acid level are all indicators that a combustion turbine has been affected by varnish. Continual thermal degradation and diligent oxidation creates sub-micron particles that form varnish. The benefits of removing sub-micron particles that create varnish are turbine downtime is reduced, reduction of valve and rotating equipment failures, reduction of oil purchases and disposal costs, and returns lube system reliability.
