GAS CLEANING

GAS CLEANING
PureVent
PureVent is a compact separator patented by Alfa Laval and developed in cooperation with Wärtsilä. By using centrifugal separation to remove oil and particles from crankcase gas, it offers an opportunity to further reduce engine emissions. Crankcase gas enters at the bottom of the separator and passes into the disc stack, where centrifugal force presses the oil and soot out between the discs. The virtually oil-free air can then be released into the atmosphere, while the oil that collects on the inside of the PureVent housing is recirculated as lubrication or drained off for incineration or deposit.
- Suitable for crankcase gas and other oily mist emissions
- 98 – 99.9% separation efficiency at 40 –150 m3/h
- Provides stable pressure in the engine crankcase, whereas filters can clog and change the pressure drop

patented hysteresis clutch (see below), which provides built-in speed adjustment and prevents slippage during water hammering or sudden pressure surges. Other improvements include an optimized turbine and friction-reducing ceramic balls that enhance lifetime performance.
*Topside speed adjustment during operation
*No speed adjustment shaft – reduced risk of seal leakage
*Zero slippage for an uninterrupted cleaning cycle
*Optimized turbine for maximum power transmission
*Durable design and low-wear materials for reduced spare parts consumption
