Electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs in lube oil systems when oil flows through the system components creating friction. ESD affects the lube oil properties and can damage system components and filter media.
When the oil passes through the filter media it can generate high voltage sparking. This can lead to issues including:
ESD filters use an exclusive advanced filter media technology to dissipate the ESD charge and protect the filter.
BioKem can assist with filter and lube analysis to confirm ESD is occurring within your system.
