Techenomics proves regular top ups control foaming in oil
Testing demonstrates top ups minimise oil consumption...
Total fluid management provider Techenomics advises that regular hydraulic oil top ups control foaming levels, thus minimising oil consumption and ultimately reducing costs.
Foam is a collection of small air bubbles that accumulate on or near the surface of the hydraulic oil. As foam is an efficient thermal insulator, the temperature of the oil can become difficult to control.
The presence of bubbles in the fluid can lead to excessive oxidation, cavitation and the reduction of lubricating properties of the oil with potential to result in hydraulics system failure.
