Spinner II Centrifuge: This self-powered product controls fluid
contaminants, saving customers money otherwise spent on overhaul, frequent
fluid changes or on performance-robbing losses in system efficiency. Its
application to engines is typical: some of the lube oil flow that would
otherwise dump wasted over a control valve is converted to high speed
rotation in a turbine where abrasive dirt can be separated and stored. The
rotation generates more than 2500 times the force of gravity, routinely
removing particles much smaller than 0.5 micrometers and trapping debris
inside a cleanable bowl. The result on engines is a 50% reduction in wear
rate and greatly extended oil durability. Since this centrifuge is
cleanable, it forms the principal C-C-W-D® product for Devon Industries.
CS Cleanable Screens: The CS Oil Cleaning System provides cleanable
full-flow screens in either spin-on or industrial high-flow arrangements,
and is most often applied to engines. These screens use stainless steel
dutch-twill weave wire cloth as a permanent debris barrier. Complemented by
the Spinner II Centrifuge, CS offers contamination control that exceeds that
of traditional media-type filters while providing longer service intervals
and extended engine component life. The CS Cleanable Screens completely
eliminate disposable filters while improving lube oil cleaniliness, and is
Devon Industries' first C-C-W-D® system.
Grid Switch Metal Particle Detector: The Grid Switch Metal Particle
Detector is an on-line device to track unusual metal spalling so operators
can anticipate catastrophic failure of a key lubricated component. By use
of an electrical grid, large metal debris from an impending failure is
intercepted, bridges the contacts and provides an alert signal. Its been
widely-applied in the drilling market for over 25 years, helping prevent
diesel engines from hard-to-fix crash & burns. It can be applied on any
critical lubricated system, including pumps or gear sets. The Grid Switch
is Devon's way to apply C-C-W-D® to failure prevention.
Self-Cleaning Filtration: Applied to nearly any fluid, self-cleaning
filtration systems avoid the costly service and disposal costs associated
with media-based filtration. Various hardware confirgurations allow
successful application across a broad range of dirt loads and at a number of
degrees of particle size retention levels. Applied to circulating lube
systems, and combined with the Spinner II Centrifuge, self-cleaning
filtration becomes a practical way to avoid disposables yet maintain control
of fine wear-causing abrasives. Self-cleaning filtration is Devon
Industries' second C-C-W-D® system.
Vortex Orbital Shale Shaker: A patented and new shale shaker technology now
offered by Vortex Fluid Systems combining the benefits of non-uniform
elliptical motion with reliable design and simple maintenance. Different
from unbalanced machines with one vibrator above the basket, the Vortex
design eliminates the backwards conveyance; backwards motion required
downwards-tilting discharge screens which caused mud loss and reduced flow
capacity. Vortex Fluid Systems has invented a shaker with an elliptical
motion pattern that progresses from a high rate of conveyance at the feed,
for improved throughput to a lower rate of conveyance at the basket
discharge end for cuttings drying. The Vortex Orbital Shale Shaker is an
essential contribution to C-C-W-D® for drilling mud solids control.
Thermojet: In concert with C-C-W-D®, Devon Industries sought a superior way
to handle removal of water or other contaminant fluids from lube oil. The
Thermojet Purifier uses a patented solubility-driven process to strip
liquids from oil into an air stream. The heated oil is pumped through a
special jet mixer and expanded in a separation chamber; foreign liquids in
the lube oil vaporize and are drawn into atmospheric air or inert gas, then
vented. Condensate remains after being fully separated from any oils. In
addition to foreign process liquids, free, emulsified and dissolved water
can be removed with this process.
