Abstract

Almost all machine uses lubrication to lubricate and smooth their components. The scope of this project is servicing the lubrication fluid of a machine especially turbine and hydraulic oils. Writer has made a study on filtering concept, oil purifying concept and found it is feasible to build using a lower budget. The oil purifier can function similarly to the existing oil purifier. The building cost for the simple hydraulic oil purifier plant is calculated at RM500 where reduction from 75 % to 85 % can be achieved. Hydraulic pumps, electric motor, filters and some other parts are used to develop an oil purifier at lower cost. A simple process of oil filtration utilized by the existing oil purifier plant is such as surface filtration and magnet filtration. It can efficiently remove particles of size range from 35!-lm to 2011m. Some tests and analysis had shown good result. Color test, PH test, viscosity test and particles count test had been conducted. Comparison had been done between the existing oil purifier and my own oil purifier based on these four results. The efficiency of the oil purifier was found to be at 9.5 N AS level out of 12 which means 20% of efficiency.
