The Hilco Mist Eliminator removes visible oil
vapor from the air stream of vents in lubricating oil systems of
large, high-speed rotating equipment such as gas turbines, steam
turbines, turbo compressors, turbo generators, reciprocating
engines, high speed couplings and gear boxes. The mist eliminator
prevents oil mist from contaminating air or soil, helping facilities
comply with environmental regulations. It also makes for a cleaner,
safer work environment by eliminating oily residue build-up on
engine room floors, enclosures and stairwells, while improving
indoor/outdoor air quality and reducing fire hazards. The Hilco
Mist Eliminator also saves money by returning oil to the sump
that would normally be lost during the venting process, greatly
reducing make-up costs. There are three versions available: Blower
Assisted Mist Eliminator, Mist Eliminator with Heat Exchanger,
Coalescer-Only Mist Eliminator. All models eliminate oil mist
with an efficiency of 99.97% removal of all airborne contaminants.
Application: Large Welding Shop: The yearly
increase in energy costs made one of the largest ASME code welding
shops in the Northeast realize how much warm air they were sending
outdoors by exhausting the fumes created by the flame cut, pipe
burner, and welding operations. The air needed to be replaced and
heated to room temperature. To reduce this continually rising
expense, they installed two Hilliard 1500 CFM Vent Mist Eliminators:
one for the flame cut and the pipe burner operations, the other in
the weld shop containing several welding booths. By situation the
intake ducts in the ceiling directly above the flame cutter, pipe
burner, and each individual weld booth, they are able to capture the
contamination directly from the source before it can be dispersed
throughout the building by fans, blowers, and overhead doors. The
contaminated air, which can be as much as 30ºF warmer at the ceiling
level, is filtered, heated slightly by the blower, and redistributed
throughout the building; thereby not only saving the energy
associated with exhausting the air outdoors and heating the
replacement air, but also saving the energy of heating other parts
of the building. As for the filtration efficiency, the welding
foreman said," we've always had a blanket of blue air lingering in
the ceiling even with the exhaust fans running, now the entire shop
is clear. |
