Characteristics of the unit
Characteristics of the unit

The service-friendly VarnishElimination Units VEU are used to condition
mineral oils. They are particularly effective at removing oil aging products
(varnish) from mineral oils. Varnish takes the form of oil-insoluble oil
degradation products which settle in the tank, the valves or the bearings.
These can be filterable gels or solid paint-type deposits.
The VEU-F series of units is used in bypass flow. The varnish is removed by
reducing the oil solubility of varnish and then filtering it out.
Uses for the VEU-F include:
• Removal of solid or gel-like oil degradation products in lubrication and
hydraulic systems, e.g. in:
o Presses
o Machine tools
o Systems with H1 food-grade oils
o Turbine lubrication
Using the VEU-F can offer you the following advantages:

• Increased operating reliability of the system as a result of fewer
deposits in hydraulic valves
• Increase in the oil service life

Setting up / Installing VEU-F

Observe the following points when setting up the unit:
1. The unit must be set up on an even, level surface.
2. Make sure that there is sufficient space above the filter housing to
replace the filter elements.
3. Make sure that there is sufficient space above the side cooler. For more
details, see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions for the side
cooler, which are included in the Technical Documentation for the unit.
4. Observe the maximum permissible ambient temperature and constant
supply of cooling air for units which have a motor-pump assembly to
avoid overheating.
5. In the case of installation below the fluid level, install shut-off valves in
the feed and return lines.
6. Connect the suction and pressure ports as described on pages 28 to
29.
7. Connect all the unit's electrical connections. See page 30 for details
8. When starting up for the first time, follow the steps below:
- Fill the side cooler with a water/glycol mixture; for more details, see
page 29.
- Insert the filter elements in the filter housing. See page 35 for details.

Notes on pipes and hoses

Make sure that no vibrations or stress/loading from other machinery and
equipment are carried over to filter housing. If necessary, use expansion
joints.
The pressure loss in a hydraulic line depends upon:
• Flow rate
• Kinematic viscosity
• Pipe dimensions
• Fluid density
The pressure loss can be estimated for hydraulic oils as follows:
Δp ≈ 6.8 * L / d4 * Q * V * D
Δp = Pressure differential in [bar]
L = Pipe length [m]
d = Internal pipe diameter [mm]
Q = Flow rate [l/min]
V = Kinematic viscosity [mm²/s]
D = Density [kg/dm³] Mineral oil based hydraulic fluid has a
density of ≈ 0.9 kg/dm³.
This applies to straight pipelines and hydraulic oils. Additional threaded

connections and pipe bends increase the pressure differential. Additional
threaded connections and pipe bends increase the pressure differential.
Keep the height difference between the pump and the oil level in the tank as
low as possible.
Constrictions in the connections and lines should be avoided. This could
compromise suction output and cause cavitation.
Take note that the nominal size of the connected hoses/piping must be at
least as large as the inlet port sizes.
Make sure that no vibrations or stress/loading from other machinery and
equipment are carried over to filtration unit. Make sure that no vibrations or
stress/loading from other machinery and equipment are carried over to
filtration unit. Use hoses or expansion joints if necessary.

Connecting the suction port - INLET

For the suction port connection, use a flexible hose that is resistant to
negative pressure. Avoid constrictions in the connecting lines, as they
compromise suction performance and increase the risk of cavitation.
In case of coarse contamination (> 100 µm) such as weld splatter, an
appropriate suction strainer must be installed in the suction line in order to
protect the pump.
If a unit without a motor-pump assembly is used, it is important to ensure that
no pressure pulsation is transmitted to the filter housing.
NOTICE
Overpressure at the suction port connection
The unit will be damaged
► The maximum pressure on the suction port IN must not be more than -
0.4 to 2.0 bar.
Connecting the pressure port - OUTLET

Make sure that the nominal width of the pressure line corresponds to the
connector thread of the filter housing.
Install the return line below the oil level to prevent air from entering the fluid
in the tank.
If the clogging indicator pressure displayed for the a clean
filter element is > 1 bar, use a differential pressure clogging
indicator.
Preparing the RFCS side cooler

Remove the metal air filter from the side cooler and fill the tank with the
water/glycol coolant (min. 20% … max. 40%) up to the "Max." mark using the
tank filling nozzles on the side cooler.
Insert the metal air filter in the side cooler and check that the side cooler is
switched on at the main switch (13.1).
For more details, see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions for the
side cooler, which are included in the Technical Documentation for the unit.

Electrical connection of the unit

Check the voltage and frequency specifications on the motor name plate
against the existing network specifications.
Plug the male connector into a suitable, grounded power outlet.
Checking direction of rotation

Check the direction of rotation of the motor by switching it on briefly (jog
mode).
The unit requires a clockwise rotating field at the connecting socket.
NOTICE
Incorrect phase sequence / rotation direction of the motor
The pumps will be destroyed.
► In jog mode, check the direction of rotation of the motors.

► A rotation direction arrow on the fan cover of the motor identifies the
correct direction of rotation.
If rotation is in the opposite direction, change the phases in the terminal box
or rotate the phases in the connection plug using the phase inverter in the
connection plug.
