4.4 CHANGING FROM ONE TVPE OF OIL TO ANOTHER
ALCATEL pumps are tested with ALCATEL 100oil; a certain amount
remains in the moving parts of the pump.
If you must use a different type of
a) When oils are compatible
This is the case when one mineral oil is replaced by another (for
example ALCATEL 100 by ALCATEL 102) .
Simply flush pump (see§ 4.6) using new oil, then flll (see § 3.4.1}.
b) When olls are Incompatible : synthetic oils or similar oils
This is the case when a mineral oil is replaced by a synthetic oil (for
example ALCATEL 100 by ALCATEL 113).
Synthetic oils are considered mutually lncompatlble for practical
reasons, and they are expensive, Mixing them could cause cloudi­
ness, which could be misinterpreted as a sign of contamination or
degradation.
For the same reasons, the clear oils of mineral (Alcatel 300) also
expensive, will be considerate as synthetic oils.
These remarks apply to these oils

These oils generally used in Chemical Serles pumps. They can

4.5 OIL LEVEL - DRAINING
a) OH Level
To use pump under optimum conditions, check oil level in oil sight
glass periodically. Perform when pump is not
• Oil consumption may vary wlth conditions. Use of an oil mist elimi­
nator can substantially reduce oil consumption by allowing oil to
flow back into the oil casing.
• Periodic Inspection enables the oil color to be compared with a
sample of fresh oll. It indicates the degree of contamination or
degradation.
If the oil is slightly cloudy ( a sign condensables are being absorbed) it
can be regenerated with a gas ballast (ct, §
If the oil Is brown, blacklsh, or smells "burnt" it has deteriorated. In
this case, drain pump and rinse If necessary.
b) Draining Procedure
The pump must be drained when hot and after the oil case has been
vented to atmosphe r ic pressure. First. isolate or disconnect the
pump from the s y stem.
