| Baffles are an important component in a hydraulic reservoir. They allow the fluid time to cool, deaerate and settle out water and dirt. A good rule of thumb for residence time in a reservoir is three to five times the pump output. If the system is highly contaminated, residence time may be 10 times the pump's gallons per minute.

| The reason to use oil analysis or for that matter any predictive technology is twofold: to avoid catastrophic failures and to extend equipment life. A good oil analysis program can save big dollars for a really small investment. You can learn to predict those conditions that are the precursor of failure through spectrographic analysis and trending as well as wear debris analysis. Fluid cleanliness can be tested and compartment targets maintained. Remember, clean fluids make machines last longer. |

Poll Question: What are the consequences of a loss of dispersancy?
|
GET THE ANSWER
| Particles can come into equipment through a variety of means. They can enter through a mechanical service that is performed, after a failure or inspection, as well as through a process. It is paramount that you take every precaution to minimize or eliminate any contaminants such as dust, water, etc., from entering your equipment. |
