The Optimal Fluid Purification SystemThe PAC portable fluid purifier is small, light-weight, energy efficient and highly mobile. The systemis designed to maximize ease of use, economy, reliability, and maintainability. It will operateunattended for extended periods of time with built-in safety features including: diagnostics for faultdetection with automatic shutdown, fault signal lights, and smart controls to signal the need for filterchangeout.Pall’s spinning disk purifier has been specially developed to minimize degradation of the workingproperties of the fluid being purified. The system employs mass transfer technologies whichare the most gentle to the fluids.PAC’s portable fluid purifier does not use desiccants, molecular sieves, high vacuum,or added heat typical of flash distillation units. It has minimal impact on the workingproperties of fluid.Alternate Processes and Potential Problems:PURIFICATION PROCESSDesiccantor Molecular SieveHigh VacuumAdded HeatPOTENTIAL PROBLEMSStrips out fluid additives. Potential for desiccant andmolecular sieve material to be released into the fluid.Strips the fluid of light ends and volatile additives. Canresult in fluid viscosity increase.Causes fluid oxidation, coking or charring. Stripsthe fluid of light ends and volatile additives. Canresult in fluid viscosity increase.Pall Aeropower Corporation (PAC) introduced its fluid purifier in 1965 to remove sea watercontamination from U.S. Navy submarine hydraulic systems. Today, PAC purifiers are used toprevent pollution, extend fluid service life, recycle fluids, and maintain optimum fluid cleanlinesslevels in ships, aircraft, military vehicles, ground support equipment, fluid test stands, and many otherapplications.The PAC portable fluid purifier is specially configured to extend the fluid service life of hydraulicfluids, lube fluids, polyalphaolefin (PAO) based fluids, coolants, phosphate ester fluids, poly-ol esterfluids, and many others.3

System Operation• Contaminated fluid is drawn into the spinning disk vacuum chamber through a mesh strainer. Afloat valve regulates the inlet flow, keeping it equal to the output of the discharge pump.• Oil entering the vacuum chamber impinges on the center of the spinning disk. As the disk rotates,oil flows outward to the edge of the disk, progressively decreasing in film thickness. The oil isthrown off the disk and breaks into very small droplets yielding a large surface area.• Maximizing surface area directly increases the water removal rate of fluid dehydrators. Pall’sunique spinning disk technology produces a uniform surface area significantly greater than thatachieved by other mass transfer devices.• Ambient air is drawn into the vacuum chamber through an air breather filter. The air expands toapproximately five times its former volume, resulting in an 80% reduction relative humidity. Water,air and solvents are carried from the vacuum chamber with the dehumidified air flow as exhaust.• Dehydrated fluid from the vacuum chamber exits the purifier via a discharge pump through a 3μmabsolute non-bypass discharge filter with an extremely high dirt capacity (service life).4

Making a Great Product Even BetterThe Pall Water Sensor OptionWhen you need to know water contamination levels, the Pall water sensor is the answer.The Pall water sensor is option “W” on the Pall portable fluid purifier. This fast acting, highlyrepeatable in-line device measures relative humidity and temperature which are used to calculateparts per million (PPM) water content. Fluid relative humidity is the amount of dissolved water in afluid expressed as a percentage of the amount of water necessary to cause 100% saturation.This in-line device provides instant feedback on water contamination of the fluid being purified.5
