1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification System is designed to remove free, emulsified water, dissolved water,
particulate and gaseous contamination from petroleum and synthetic based fluids. The water removal principle used
is simple, reliable, and will dependably remove water well below the oil saturation point, even when tightly bound in an
emulsion. Figure 1 shows the system’s operation schematically. For the dehydration process, the fluid is first drawn
into the heater of the system. It then flows through permanent dispersal media that is located inside the vacuum
tower. The contaminated oil flows through the surfaces of this media where it is exposed to a vacuum, normally 22”
Hg (559 mm Hg). The water and dissolved gases are boiled off and the fluid is dehydrated. An outlet pump removes
the dry oil from the bottom of the vacuum chamber where it then passes through the filter housing(s) and out the
discharge of the system. For particulate removal, the system is typically equipped with a high efficiency filter element
made from micro-glass media and rated Beta(c) > 1000 per ISO 16889, meaning that 99.9% of all particles of a given
micron size are removed in a multi-pass system.
Our Varnish Removal Systems (VRS) were developed to address the need to properly remove varnish (also known
as lacquer, sludge, or tar) commonly found in various lubrication and hydraulic systems. Our process utilizes a
technology by which an Granular Adsorbent Media technology adsorbs both dissolved and suspended oil
degradation products that cause varnish. Varnish removal is accomplished with an oxidative stable filter media,
engineered to selectively remove only the varnish-causing contaminants without disturbing the fluid’s additive
system.

8. OPERATION PROCEDURES
8.1 - Unpacking

This system is delivered with maximum protection during transportation and handling.

NOTE: All damage attributed to the handling and delivery of the unit must be recorded and brought to the
attention of the shipper immediately.

This system has been thoroughly tested for a minimum run time required to ensure proper operation. Fluid used to
test the unit is matched as closely as possible to that listed on the application sheet completed by the customer and
supplied with the order. The unit has been thoroughly inspected for defects prior to the delivery. All connections,
however, should be checked prior to operating this unit, vibration and/or rough handling during delivery could
adversely affect component alignment and/or connection tightness.

8.2 - Mechanical Installation

With the system in place, connect the inlet and outlet hoses from the reservoir to the system. The inlet port has
been sized to provide enough flow to operate the unit in the automatic mode using oil with a maximum viscosity of
1500 SSU (323.7 cSt). A hose diameter equal to inlet/outlet port size (see specification sheet) is required to
provide adequate oil supply to this unit.

NOTE: Use of a smaller diameter line will restrict the flow and will adversely effect the automatic operation
of the unit.

The inlet/outlet connections have been sized for maximum hose lengths of 35 feet. Use of longer hose lengths
must be approved prior to installation. When using “quick disconnect” on the inlet it may be necessary to oversize
the hose, as “quick disconnect” fittings can restrict flow to the unit in specific applications. The system is capable of
pulling oil up to 8 ft. (2.4 m) of negative head. For applications that exceed this, please consult the factory.

OIL FILTRATION SYSTEMS • A Clark Reliance Company • Boerne, TX 7

8.3 - Operating Instructions

Close all Drain Valves on the system.

Connect the Hoses from the system Inlet/Outlet to the oil supply reservoir, and from the Condensate Sump discharge(s) to
a waste water reservoir.

Connect the Power Supply Cord to the electrical receptacle.

CAUTION: Supply power disconnect should be located within a line of sight to the power supply source.

Fully open the Inlet gate valve and the Outlet ball valves on the system and the oil supply reservoir.

NOTE: Once the system is running, the Inlet Gate Valve can be adjusted in order to maintain a balanced oil flow
and proper oil level in the Vacuum Tower (halfway up the lower tower sight glass). If the Inlet Gate Valve is
closed, the oil level will lower and vice versa.

Supply power to the system and turn the Main Power Disconnect to the ON position.

Check for phase failure. If the Phase Failure Indicator illuminates, phase failure exists. In that case, turn the Phase
Reversal Switch to the opposite setting. The Phase Failure Indicator should not be on.

Press the Start button. The system will begin to operate.

Regulate the flow rate with the Pump Motor Speed Control (if equipped).

NOTE: Flow rate is regulated by the VFD (if equipped). At maximum frequency (50 Hz or 60Hz), the pump will run
at the rated GPM. At half of the maximum frequency (25Hz or 30Hz), the pump will run at half the rated GPM.

Once the system is up and running, slowly open the Air Vent Valve and bleed off the air in the Filter Housing. Be sure that
a container is placed under the Air Vent Valve while bleeding the air, as oil will come out after the air is purged.

Turn the Heater Switch to the ON position. The system is set at 150° F from the factory, but the temperature can be
increased/decreased by pressing the scroll buttons on the Temperature Control. Normal water extraction rate is
accomplished when the fluid is processed at a temperature of approximately 140° F.

CAUTION: Do not turn off the oil pump while the heater is energized. This can cause the heater to overheat.

Observe the System Vacuum Gauge. It should read between -18” Hg and -25” Hg. Normal water extraction rate is
accomplished at -22”Hg. Adjust vacuum with Vacuum Adjust Valve located just below the Air Breather. This adjustment is
gradual and does not respond quickly, so there will be a 3-5 second delay in results when the adjustment is made.

WARNING: Shut the unit down and immediately close the Inlet and Outlet Valves if the System Vacuum Gauge
reads 0 PSI or above. There is a high risk for Vacuum Tower rupture in positive pressure conditions as it is not
designed for positive pressure use.

CAUTION: Do not operate the Vacuum Pump below -26” Hg.

The VDOPS is now fully functioning. Observe the System Pressure Gauge. Normal discharge operating pressure is 5 –
20 PSI. However, with restricted or long discharge lines the pressure can be higher. The pump is set from the factory to
relieve at 100 PSI to accommodate these higher pressure applications.

NOTE: Damage to the VFD and motor can be caused by running the VDOPS below half the maximum VFD
frequency with more that 30 PSI of system pressure. An indicator of this is error code “EO24” on the VFD.

When an alarm occurs, check the specific alarm indicator and solve it by using the Troubleshooting Section of this
manual. After fixing the problem, press the Stop/Reset button and then press the Start button to run the system again.

To stop the system, turn the heater(s) off and let the oil circulate for a minimum of one minute. Close the Inlet Valve and
allow the unit to run for approximately 30 seconds. Any residual oil in the system will be returned to the reservoir.

OIL FILTRATION SYSTEMS • A Clark Reliance Company • Boerne, TX 8

8.3 - Operating Instructions (Continued)

Then press the Stop/Reset button. Close all valves on the reservoir and on the system.

Turn the Main Power Disconnect to the OFF position.

8.4 - Auto Water Drain (Optional)

Located on the back side of the Condensate Sump are two electric switches, one on the top and the other on the bottom.
When the system is in operation, water will begin to fill the sump. Once the water reaches the top electric switch, the Auto
Water Drain operation will begin. First, the vacuum isolation ball valve closes to keep the vacuum inside the main tower.
Next, the system shuts down. The vent valve and drain valve then open simultaneously. The water then begins to drain.
Once the water level in the sump falls below the bottom electric switch, the vent valve and drain valve will close. Finally,
the system will open the vacuum isolation valve and start back-up. This cycle will repeat every time the water sump is
filled. If there is a problem with the auto water drain, and the sump fills, the system will shut down after two minutes.

8.5 - Four Point Lifting Lugs (Optional) Cage Structure Lifting Lug

Four Point Lifting Lugs provide an alternative mobility option. They are located at the top of a
Cage Structure, or attached directly to the skid base. Use all four lifting lugs when lifting the
unit. Make sure that all lifting equipment is rated for use above the weight of the system.

8.6 - Four Point Lifting Structure (Optional)

The cage structure surrounds the VDOPS to provide increase component protection in an
extreme environment, or in applications requiring frequent unit transportation. Partial removal
of the right-front vertical member of the Cage Structure may be necessary for Electrical Panel
access. This can be accomplished by removing the nuts and bolts that secure the member.

8.7 - Digital Particle Monitor (Optional)

To use the Digital Particle Monitor (DPM), first open the DPM Inlet and Outlet Valves. Make sure that the DPM
Regulator Valve is all the way open. The DPM Regulator Valve sets the required pressure drop between the inlet and
outlet of the device for proper operation. Start closing the DPM Regulator Valve until the DPM Pressure Gauge reaches
50 PSI above normal operation (if the pressure is 10 PSI before closing the DPM Regulator
Valve, the operator should close the valve until the pressure is 60 PSI).
Next, turn the Digital Particle Monitor to the ON position. The device will DPM Display
gather samples for 5 minutes for accuracy. The ISO Cleanliness Code
can be checked by pressing the “Code Scroll” button on the DPM DPM Pressure
display. There are light indicators next to each particle size reading (4- Gauge
micron, 6-micron and 14-micron). Record the first three readings for the
ISO Cleanliness Code. If faulty readings occur, or if there is inadequate DPM Regulator
flow to the DPM, check the DPM Strainer for blockage. When the Valve
Digital Particle Monitor is not in use, turn off the device, close the DPM
Inlet and Outlet Valves, and fully open the DPM Regulator Valve. A
factory DPM manual is available upon request.

IMPORTANT: Turn off and Isolate the device when not in use. In
addition, do not turn the device on when the oil is known to be dirty. DPM Outlet DPM Inlet
Only turn it on after oil has circulated through the system 2-3 times. Valve Valve

8.8 - Digital Moisture Indicator (Optional)

The Digital Moisture Indicator probe is located on the input of the system. It measures
water content in terms of water activity (aw) which is measured in a scale of 0-1 where
0 is no water present, and 1 is fully saturated. Measurements may be made at any time.
A factory DMI manual is available upon request.

OIL FILTRATION SYSTEMS • A Clark Reliance Company • Boerne, TX
 8.9 - Digital Moisture & Particle Monitor Combo (Optional)
To use the Digital Moisture & Particle Monitor Combo (DMI/DPM), typically found only on Nema 7
units, first open the DMI/DPM Inlet and Outlet Valves. Make sure that the DPM Regulator Valve or
Gate Valve is all the way open. Turn on the Digital Moisture & Particle Monitor Combo (DMI/DPM)
switch to the ON position. The DPM Regulator Valve will always be all of the way open when
operating the DMI/DPM. The DMI/DPM Pump relief is factory set to 20 PSI, this is the operating
pressure for the DMI/DPM for normal conditions. The DMI/DPM requires at least 10PSI to operate
properly over the system pressure, but can exceed this pressure up to 30PSI over the system
pressure. If your system is not operating between 10-30PSI over the system pressure, adjust the
relief valve of the DMI/DPM Pump to accomplish this. The DPM Pressure Gauge will display the
pressure that the relief valve is set to when running. DPM Pressure
For example: The system pressure is at 5 PSI the DMI/DPM operation pressure therefore should
be between 15-35PSI to operate properly. If the system is not running within these parameters, the Gauge
DMI/DPM will flash a Low Flow Alarm.
DMI/DPM Display
The device will run a test for 1 minute for accuracy and then display the
results. The ISO Cleanliness Code will display on the screen with the DPM Regulator
Relative Humidity and Temperature. The DMI/DPM measures water Valve
content using a capacitive RH (relative humidity) sensor. The result is
expressed as percentage saturation. 100% RH corresponds to the point DPM Inlet
at which free water exists in the fluid, i.e. the fluid is no longer able to Valve
hold the water in a dissolved solution. This is also normally the point at
which damage occurs in a hydraulic system, so it is an ideal
measurement scale that is independent of the fluid characteristics.
If a faulty reading occurs, or if there is inadequate flow to the DPM,
check the DPM Strainer for blockage. When the Digital Particle Monitor
is not in use, turn off the device, and close the DPM Inlet and Outlet
Valves, and fully close the DPM Regulator Valve. A factory Digital
Moisture & Particle Monitor Combo manual is available upon request.

8.10 - Varnish Removal (Optional)

1. For units equipped with slip-stream varnish removal (1527X Varnish Removal Housing) , open Varnish Removal
Inlet and Outlet Valves and slowly start to close the Varnish removal Gate Valve until the Flow Meter reads up to 1
GPM.

NOTE: The System Pressure Gauge reading may increase by an additional 20 PSI as the Varnish Removal Gate
Valve is closed.

2. Slowly open the Air Vent Valve and bleed off the air in the Varnish Removal Housing with a container in place.

3. Observe the System Pressure Gauge. Normal discharge operating pressure is between 0 PSI and 80 PSI when fluid

8.11 - Filter Replacement Procedures

For standard cartridge and bag style filter elements, drain the filter housing before replacing the elements. Drain
the housing(s) by opening the drain valve (with a container below) and then opening the air vent valve. This will
allow the atmospheric pressure to push down on the fluid inside the vessel. After draining the housing, loosen
eye nuts in a counter-clockwise direction to remove the lid.
For varnish removal elements, drain the varnish removal housing before replacing elements. This can be
accomplished while the unit is operating. Drain the housing(s) during system operation by closing the Varnish
Removal Inlet/Outlet Valves, open both the Drain Valves (with a container below), then open the Air Vent Valve.
This will allow the atmospheric pressure to evacuate fluid from the vessel. If the unit is stopped, the housing can
be manually drained by opening the Qty. 2 Drain Valves (with a container below) and opening the Air Vent
Valve. This will allow the atmospheric pressure to evacuate fluid from the vessel. After draining the housing,
loosen the Lid Bolts to remove the Housing Lid.
NOTE: The lift assist crank can be removed from the skid base mount and inserted into the holster on
the side of the 1527X housing if extra help is need for element removal.

IMPORTANT: Varnish Removal Element replacement is determined by the Varnish Potential Number.
The Varnish Potential Number can be determined through Membrane Patch Colorimetry (MPC) testing.
In most applications, the Varnish Potential Number will initially decrease, and then plateau when using
the Varnish Removal System. It is necessary to replace the elements when the Varnish Potential Number
begins to increase.

For spin-on style elements or cartridge style filter elements enclosed in a filter head and bowl assembly, place a
spill containment pan or container below the filter element before removal, as oil may spill out of the bowl and
filter head when the element is removed. Remove the bowl or spin-on element by rotating it counter-clockwise.

 8.12 – Plexiglas / Borosilicate Glass Replacement Procedures

When reinstalling Plexiglas / Borosilicate Glass covers, make sure the O-Ring is seated properly in the groove.

NOTE: An improper O-Ring seat can prevent the cover from sealing properly and can tear the O-Ring.

Standard units are equipped with Plexiglas covers on the vacuum tower and condensate sump. The bolts that
fasten the Plexiglas should be tightened to 88 in-lb using a torque wrench.

Units configured to handle EHC fluid are equipped with Borosilicate Glass secured by an outer Steel Flange on
the vacuum tower and condensate sump. The bolts that fasten the Plexiglas and outer Steel Flange should be
tightened to 55 in-lb using a torque wrench.

NOTE: Over-tightening the bolts can damage the Plexiglas / Boroscilicate Glass cover.

Bolts should be tightened in the following order depending on cover size:

10. MAINTENANCE
10.1 - Vacuum Chamber Internal Dispersion Media

The dispersal media function is to maximize the surface area of the oil exposed to the vacuum by creating a thin oil
film as the oil passes over the media. This process makes the water removal process much more efficient. The
internal dispersion media is stainless steel and never needs to be changed.

10.2 - Oil Filter Element

The discharge filter is equipped with a differential pressure indicator to alert the user when the element is ready to
be changed. This indicator is calibrated to 30-40 PSID for cartridge style elements and 20-25 PSID for spin-on style
elements at which time the system will automatically shut down. Element change frequency will vary with each
application and cannot be predicted effectively. However, the filter has been over-sized to maximize the life of the
element under normal conditions.

NOTE: It is suggested that the element be changed every six (6) months if no indication is shown during
that time. The filter media can become fatigued and fail due to flow surges, heat, water, and pressure after
continuous operation over a long period of time.

OIL FILTRATION SYSTEMS • A Clark Reliance Company • Boerne, TX 17

10.3 - Vacuum Tower Air Inlet Filter

Metered outside air is used to control the vacuum pressure inside the vacuum chamber. This air is cleaned using
a filter/breather element to remove particulates from the air as it enters the vacuum chamber. The element can be
plugged within a very short period of time if larger amounts of airborne contaminates are present. Under normal
operating conditions and continuous operation, the air breather element will last approximately 3-5 months before
needing change-out.

10.4 - Vacuum Pump Coalescing Filter

The vacuum pump uses a coalescing outlet filter element, or elements, to filter the exhaust air leaving the vacuum
pump. The element is a cloth type with exterior metal canister attached to the discharge of the vacuum pump. To
replace this element, expand and slide down the two spring retainers which are located on the outside of the
coalescing element. Do the reverse process for installation of new cloth element. This element should be changed
after 2000 operating hours.

10.5 - Claw Vacuum Pump (Standard on 5 GPM to 100 GPM VDOPS Units)

The claw style vacuum pump requires very little maintenance and is designed for high water ingression. When
there is high water ingression, or when the unit is going to be stopped for extended periods of time, it is necessary
to purge the claw vacuum chamber with air. This can be accomplished by opening the ball valve located on the
side of the vacuum pump while it is running. This is done to remove any condensation that may otherwise remain
trapped within the claw vacuum chamber. If the water is not removed from the claw chamber it can cause rusting of
the vacuum chamber and claws.

A petroleum based solvent (WD-40) can be introduced periodically

into the Vacuum Pump Solvent Clean-Out Valve, while the system is
still in operation, to break down any rust or varnish that may
Vacuum Pump
accumulate in the claw vacuum chamber or on the claws. Two to
Solvent Clean-
four sprays should be introduced into the vacuum solvent clean-out
Out Valve
line when vacuum pump performance begins to suffer, or when the
vacuum pump breaker begins to trip on a regular basis.

The claw style vacuum pump uses oil to lubricate the pump gears during
operation. Vacuum pump oil type and replacement intervals varies depending
upon the which vacuum pump (A or B) has been installed on the Vacuum
Dehydration Oil Purification System. Always change the oil while the vacuum
pump is at operational temperature. Always change the oil in a ventilated area.

Vacuum Pump A: This vacuum pump uses a synthetic ISO 150 viscosity grade gear oil. The oil should be
changed 5,000 hours of continuous operation. The oil can be seen from the oil sight plug located on the side of
the claw vacuum pump. The sight plug should show the oil at ½ or in the middle position of the sight glass.

Vacuum Pump B: This vacuum pump uses a synthetic ISO 220 viscosity grade gear oil. The oil should be
changed 20,000 hours of continuous operation. The oil can be seen from the oil sight plug located on the side of
the claw vacuum pump. The sight plug should show the oil level to be just above the middle position of the sight
glass.

10.6 - Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump (Standard on 2 to 3 GPM VDOPS Units)

Vacuum Pump C Vacuum Pump D

Vacuum Pump C: The dry rotary vane vacuum pump requires very little maintenance. No oil is used on this type of
pump. A petroleum based solvent (WD-40) can be introduced periodically into the Vacuum Pump Solvent Clean-Out
Valve, while the system is still in operation, to break down any rust or varnish that may accumulate in the vacuum
chamber or on the rotating components. Two to four sprays should be introduced into the vacuum solvent clean-out line
when vacuum pump performance begins to suffer, or when the vacuum pump breaker begins to trip on a regular basis.

Vacuum Pump D: The oil flooded rotary vane vacuum pump uses oil to lubricate the pump vanes during operation.
This oil can be seen from the oil sight plug located on the side of the vacuum pump. The sight glass should show the oil
at ½ or in the middle position of the sight glass. This should be checked daily. The vacuum pump holds ISO 46
synthetic oil. The oil should initially be changed after the first 500 hours of operation , and after every subsequent 500-
2000 hours of operation, or every 4-6 months, whichever comes first.
The vacuum pump requires very little maintenance. When there is high water ingression and the unit is going to be
stopped for extended periods of time, it is necessary to change the oil. If the oil in the reservoir is not changed, then
water can cause damage to vanes and reduce the life of the vacuum pump.

The oil is to be changed when the machine is at operating temperature in a

vented area.
Vacuum Pump D Coalescing Filter
The vacuum pump uses an internal coalescing outlet filter element to filter the
exhaust air leaving the vacuum pump. The element should be changed after
2000 operating hours.

Heavily contaminated coalescing filters can

lead to increased pump temperatures and, in
extreme cases may cause the lubricating oil to H: Oil Fill Cap

Vacuum Pump D Vacuum Adjusting Screw
The vacuum pump has two operating settings – rough and fine. Under standard dehydrating vacuum
conditions (12.3 – 29.7 inHg Vacuum (816 – 1006 mbars Vacuum)) make sure to have the Vacuum
Adjusting Screw set in the vertical position. The fine vacuum setting, with the screw in the horizontal
position, is recommended to only be used for short periods of time at higher vacuum levels. It is
recommended for short periods of time due to trends of significantly higher oil consumption by the
vacuum pump.
