Premium Hydraulic Filtration for Turbine Control and Lubrication

Hydraulic Filter elements are the silent guardians of a power plant's most critical rotating assets, specifically the steam turbine's Electro-Hydraulic (EH) control and main bearing lubrication systems. These systems operate under extreme pressures and temperatures, where even microscopic contamination can lead to catastrophic equipment failure. Our high-performance liquid filters are engineered with advanced synthetic media to provide superior cleanliness levels, ensuring that the control fluid remains within the precise specifications required for reliable turbine modulation and protection.

Maintaining "Zero-Defect" Oil Quality

The EH system typically uses fire-resistant phosphate ester fluids, which are highly sensitive to moisture and thermal degradation. Our hydraulic elements feature specialized inorganic glass fiber media that is chemically compatible with these synthetic oils. Unlike traditional cellulose-based filters, our media does not promote acid formation or varnish buildup. Furthermore, our elements are designed with high collapse strength cores to withstand the massive pressure surges that occur during emergency turbine trips or rapid valve movements, ensuring that no unfiltered oil bypasses the system.

Extending Asset Life and Operational Availability

Beyond the control system, our large-scale lubrication filters protect the main turbine bearings from wear particles and moisture. By maintaining oil cleanliness at NAS 5 or better, power utilities can significantly extend the interval between major overhauls. Our elements are rigorously tested according to ISO 16889 standards to guarantee consistent beta ratios throughout their service life. Upgrading to our premium hydraulic solutions not only protects the turbine but also reduces the total cost of ownership by decreasing the frequency of oil changes and preventing unplanned outages caused by stuck servo valves or bearing overheating.
