A NEW TURBINE OIL FILTER BY STREAM‐LINE

A NEW Turbine Oil Filter was demonstrated to A visitors and members of the technical press recently at the works of Stream‐Line Filters Ltd., Henley Park, Normandy, Nr. Guildford. The well‐known Stream‐Line edge type filter has been used on marine diesel engines for more than 30 years and a very early development was a plant for the treatment of insulating oil. These plants remove virtually all the solids and certainly all the fibrous materials, as well as reducing the water content to below 10 parts per million. This plant provides for the heating of the oil, followed by its filtration, followed by a vacuum treatment which boils off the moisture. Stream‐Line are supplying such plants at the rate of about 300 per annum for oil flow rates from 5 to 1,750 gal/hr.
