EPT -Skid-Mounted Kidney Loop Filtration System
ECR 10000 is an integrated skid-mounted kidney loop filtration system designed for phosphate ester fluid, primarily electro-hydraulic control (EHC) applications, equipped with four proprietary filtration technologies to achieve fluid standards as defined in ASTM D8323-20.
The four filtration technologies include:
- Electrostatics
- Patented ICB® ion-exchange
- High-efficiency particulate removal
- TMR® N2 water removal
Phase One: Water Content Management
TMR N2 introduces high-purity nitrogen (≥97%), insulating the reservoir, mitigating fluid contact with oxygen and atmospheric water regression, and eliminating factors that cause oxidation. Continuous inclusion and operation of the TMR ensures water content is maintained within the ideal target range between 200 and 500 ppm.
Phase Two: Sub-micron Particulate Removal
Solid contamination is removed with electrostatic Collector elements, engineered to remove sub-micron (<4 micron) particles that are too fine to be captured with normal filters. Fine particulate contaminants pass through these filtration systems, impacting fluid life and component wear. The proprietary ECR Collector media removes hard and soft contaminants as small as 0.01 microns through electrophoretic and dielectrophoretic processes.
Phase Three: Dissolved Contamination Removal
Dissolved contamination is addressed with patented ICB® ion-exchange filters, engineered to remove acids and soluble varnish at the molecular level. Other acid-scavengers are unable to remove phosphate ester varnish and its precursors.
Phase Four: Additional Solid Contamination Removal
The last and final phase is the clean-up phase, with the fluid passing through a high-efficiency particulate filter element, removing contaminants that have come out of solution during Phase 2 or 3.
ECR 10000 unites four leading filtration technologies within one integrated system to maintain the quality, life and reliability of your EHC fluids.
