    FAM description FAM description The FluidAqua FAM was developed for the dewatering, filtration and degassing of hydraulic and lubricating oils. It removes free water, emulsified water and a large proportion of the water in solution. The Fluidfilter that is installed provides efficient particulate separation. The fluid is degassed through a vacuum in the vacuum chamber.

  • Page 40: Setting The Pressure In The Vacuum Column

    Starting up the unit Setting the pressure in the vacuum column Set the pressure in the vacuum column with the needle valve (3.68) and check the vacuum using pressure gauge (3.37). Note that the pressure to be set in the vacuum column is dependent, for example, on the operating medium, the operating viscosity, the air or the water content.
  • Page 41 Starting up the unit • Be on the alert for foam formation and function problems, particularly with high-viscosity media and operating media with high air and water content. Lower pressure (e.g., -0.6 bar) means lower residual water content. Higher pressure (e.g., -0.4 bar) means faster dewatering, especially with free water. By closing the needle valve (D) you reduce the absolute pressure and also the air-flow rate for dewatering the operating medium.
