Dimethyl silicone oil plays a crucial role in many fields today.
Its presence not only frequently appears in the daily chemical products we use, but also plays an indispensable role in improving product performance in the medical field, and is widely involved in various aspects of industrial production and life.
However, when dimethyl silicone oil is applied to mechanical equipment, a problem that cannot be ignored quietly emerges - excessive emulsification time.
You should know that if the water content in silicone oil is too high, a series of adverse chain reactions will follow one after another.
Oil products will accelerate deterioration, and sediment sludge will gradually form, which will directly cause damage to the oil film, and metal components cannot escape the fate of corrosion.
Furthermore, the friction between each friction pair increases sharply, and bearing overheating becomes the norm. In severe cases, it can even cause the speed control system to malfunction, leading to equipment failures and greatly hindering production.
So, what factors are causing the emulsification time of dimethyl silicone oil to exceed the standard?
How can we effectively solve this thorny problem?
Don't worry, let me explain in detail the causes and countermeasures for exceeding the emulsification time of dimethyl silicone oil.
The emulsification time of dimethyl silicone oil is actually a key indicator for measuring its oil-water separation efficiency.
The shorter the emulsification time, the more quickly oil-water separation can be achieved in the oil tank once water enters the lubricating oil system;
On the contrary, if the emulsification time is too long, it indicates that it is difficult to efficiently separate oil and water in the fuel tank.
When steam accidentally invades the dimethyl silicone oil system, if the dimethyl silicone oil has good demulsification performance, it can quickly separate most of the water from the oil in a static state of the oil tank, greatly reducing the workload of the filtration and water removal device, and allowing the water content in the hydraulic oil to return to normal levels in a short period of time.
Perhaps some people may ask, does exceeding the emulsification time of dimethyl silicone oil mean that the oil quality has deteriorated to the point where it must be replaced or other special remedial measures need to be taken?
In fact, you can try using methods such as partial replacement of new oil or adding demulsifiers.
Practice has proven that these measures can significantly shorten the demulsification time of dimethyl silicone oil, maintaining it within 60 minutes for a longer period of time and ensuring the smooth operation of the unit.
So, even if the demulsification time of dimethyl silicone oil exceeds 30 minutes during equipment operation, as long as the water content in the hydraulic oil is at a low level, the oil will not easily emulsify.
If other performance indicators of dimethyl silicone oil are still within the normal range at this time, it fully indicates that dimethyl silicone oil itself has not deteriorated.
In this case, we can effectively improve the anti emulsification performance of hydraulic oil by adding demulsifiers or adding new oil, further extending its service life and ensuring the stable and efficient operation of mechanical equipment.
