Sensors monitor oil in compressed air
Oil Control does not react to the rise of the differential pressure, instead monitoring changed remainder oil rates in the streaming compressed air.
Sensitive applications such as food, electronics and medicine have to meet particularly high requirements concerning the purity of compressed air Activated carbon filters and adsorbers have only limited capacity to remove oil and it's difficult to find the best n time for changing elements

Oil measurements monitor air quality
Oil Control enables permanent monitoring of the oil content of the compressed air flow, either centrally or at individual points.
The concentration of oil vapours in the suction air is subject to considerable fluctuations and overloading can lead to damaged filter elements.
Sudden oil breakthrough lead to high costs.
In order to achieve higher process security in compressed air treatment Beko Instruments has developed measuring instruments for supervising the oil content.
Conventional differential pressure manometers only indicate the due exchange of air de-oiling elements and fine filters.
Serious defects like pitting corrosion or assembly error are not covered by this device.
Oil Control does not react to the rise of the differential pressure, instead monitoring changed remainder oil rates in the streaming compressed air.
The residual oil content is measured according to the ion exchange method.
This system is not affected by moisture content or changing flow conditions.
It is also offers freely adjustable alarm values. Request a free brochure from Beko Technologies ...
