1.1 Correct usage

Centrifugal separators – called separators in short – are used
 for the separation of liquid mixtures which consist of two liquids, with simulta-
 neous removal of the solids contained in the liquids.
 for removing (clarifying) solids from a liquid.
The separator is designed

 for a very high bowl speed.
The admissible bowl speed depends on the chemical and physical properties
of the product:
– Temperature
 – Density of the fluid and solid components.
 for products which contain no corrosive and erosive components.
The aggressiveness of the product influences the careful selection of the bowl
material.
Only products conforming to the specifications on the nameplate may be pro-
 cessed.
 in accordance with the method of application of the separator agreed with GEA
 Westfalia Separator. Refer to the data sheet and contractually agree-ments.
 in accordance with the admissible utilities (cleaning agents, lubricants, operat-
ing liquids etc.) specified in the documentation or on the data sheet.
Intended use involves

 paying attention to the safety precautions, the instruction manual of the sepa-
 rator and the safety markings on the separator.
 adhering to the data on the nameplate, e.g. maximum admissible bowl speed.
Further information on the intended use of the separator such as
– agreed areas,
– density of the product
– throughput capacities
– temperatures
– pressures etc.
is given in the documentation or the data sheet furnished with the documenta-
tion.
The contractually agreed conditions agreed with GEA Westfalia Separator on the
intended use of the separator must be passed on to the operating personnel by
the plant operator.
Any operating mode deviating from this is not intended use and can result
in severe damage to property and persons!

2066-9001-200 / 0410 11
1.2 Non-compliance with the intended use

Any use that deviates from the intended use is considered to be non-
compliant.
The separator may not be operated by:

  Persons who have not read and understood these basic safety precautions.
 Persons who have not read and understood the instruction manual of the
 separator.
  Persons who have not been briefed on proper and correct operation.
  Persons who have not been adequately trained.
 Persons who have not reached the minimum age of 18 years.
The separator may not be operated

 when the product fed does not conform to the specifications on the name-
 plate.
 – Product with excessively high density
 – Solids with excessively high density
– Product with excessively high temperature

 when the max. admissible bowl speed has been exceeded through electrical
or electronic manipulation of the drive.

  in an incomplete state of assembly, e.g.
 – required supervisory equipment is not activated or has been switched off.
– the required safety and/or protective covers have not been installed.

 by persons who are not adequately trained.

 when the separator is operated with spare parts which do not come from
Westfalia Separator.
Non-compliance with intended use can result in severe damage to proper-

ty and persons!

earth.
Fig. 12
1.4 Basic operating principles

Separators are used for the separation of liquid mixtures or for the separation of
solids out of liquids or liquid mixtures.
High centrifugal forces are produced in

the rotating bowl.
Fig. 13
Under the influence of the centrifugal forces, separation of the liquid mixture
and/or ejection of the solids particles takes place most rapidly.
The specifically heavier components are displaced to the bowl periphery,
whereas the specifically lighter components are displaced towards the centre of
the bowl.
The high centrifugal force is produced by very high bowl speeds. On the one
hand, high bowl speeds signify high efficiency, while on the other hand, they
signify high material stressing of the separator.

18 2066-9001-200 / 0410
1.5 Operations on the separator
The separator works reliably, provided

that it is operated and maintained in
accordance with our operating instruc-
tions.
Fig. 14
Special attention must be given to:
  Assembly
  Electrical installation
  Before start-up

1.5.9 Maintenance and repair

Unfavourable operating conditions may require shorter maintenance intervals.
The factors listed below are unfavourable because they either attack the sepa-
rator material directly or impair the lubrication/cooling system:
 Aggressive product (chemical or physical)

 High product temperature

 Product with grease-decaying properties

 Environment: Temperature, dust, vapours
Particularly high-stressed separator

parts like
– Bowl lock ring,
– bowl bottom,
– bowl top and
– other bowl parts with a large outer
diameter
must be checked regularly to assure
safe and efficient operation.
Fig. 45
Timely maintenance of the separator and replacement of worn or damaged ma-

chine parts is essential for safe operation of the machine.
Use only genuine spare parts from Westfalia Separator. Otherwise, safety
risks may arise (see section 1.5.2)
Carry out the required cleaning thoroughly. One-sided solid

deposits in the bowl cause severe unbalance!
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out to the extent described in
this instruction manual.
Maintenance and repair work not described in this manual may only be
carried out by the manufacturer or by "repair shops" authorized by the
manufacturer.
We, therefore, recommend in your own interest to have your separator inspect-
ed by our service engineers at regular intervals. These checks help to maintain
the operating safety and avoid unexpected downtime.

2066-9001-200 / 0410 33
1.6 Corrosion
Corrosion can also affect bowl parts made of stainless steel. This corrosion can
be flat-spread or pit- or crack-shaped and merits special attention.
Corrosion on stainless steel bowl material should be examined thoroughly and
documented.
Flat-spread corrosion can usually be measured (reduction of wall thickness)
Pit- or crack-shaped corrosion cannot be measured without the risk of damage.
At the initial stage pit-shaped corrosion is generally caused by chlorine ions.
Depending on the stressing of the part, pit-shaped corrosion can result in crack-
shaped corrosion.
Possible formation of pit-shaped cor-

rosion.
Fig. 53
Such pittings can only be investigated by a materials expert.
In case of crack-shaped corrosion attack with or without superposed flat-

spread and pit-shaped corrosion on main bowl components, the machine
must be shut down immediately.
Contact your nearest Westfalia Separator representative for a thorough exami-

nation.
Pittings
Pittings which are close together or
form a linear pattern can signify crack
formation beneath the surface.
Such pittings should be investigated by
a materials expert.
Fig. 54

34 2066-9001-200 / 0410
1.7 Erosion
Erosion is caused by solid particles in the process liquid.
These solid particles grind marks into the surfaces with which they come into
contact.
The following factors favour the occurrence of erosion:
  hard solids particles

 high throughput capacities
The first signs of erosion should be carefully observed and documented. Ero-sion
can deepen rapidly, thereby weakening the bowl material.
Contact your nearest Westfalia Separator representative for a thorough exami-

nation. Information on the nature of the damage can be provided by photos,
plaster casts or lead molds.
Fig. 55
The surfaces most susceptible to erosion are:
1) the bottom of the distributor, the rising channels and the ribs,
2) the centripetal pump (cavitation),
3) all surfaces in the area of the solids discharge ports,
4) the nozzles.

2066-9001-200 / 0410 35
Signs of erosion which you should

immediately report to your nearest
Westfalia Separator representative:
 The bottom of the erosion mark has a
radius smaller than 1 mm (large
notch effect).
 The depth of erosion mark exceeds 1
mm (0.04 inch) at the deepest point.
Fig. 56

36 2066-9001-200 / 0410
1.8 The health hazards involved when handling heavy oils and lube oils
As a result of the deterioration in quality of fuel oils, the danger has arisen that the heavy oils used on
board contain greater amounts of substances injurious to health. These include:
- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
- lead compounds,
- chemical residues.
An increased amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is also present in used lube oils (waste
oils). The health hazards for the engine room staff depend to a large extent
  on the concentrations of the dangerous substances,
  the ambient air (inhalation of oil vapours/oil mist),
 the intensity and duration of the contact with the skin or mucous membrane.
Possible short-term effects:

  headaches,
  dizziness,
  nausea,
 itching or burning of the skin,
Possible long-term effects:

  allergic reactions, especially skin allergies,
  festering inflammation of the skin pores (oil-acne),
  damage to the central nervous system after inhalation over a long period,
  skin cancer caused by direct skin contact over a long period,
 Lung cancer or cancer of the digestive organs after inhalation over a long period
(not certain as the causes are difficult to separate from the effects of smoking and alcohol).
1.8.1 Code of practice and personal protective measures
  Avoid skin contact with heavy oils or lube oils if possible!

- Wear suitable protective gloves.
- Apply a protective ointment to the skin (e.g. ointment no. 76), especially if no protective gloves are
worn!
  Avoid breathing in oil vapours if possible!
 If possible, improve the air circulation in the room!
 Fully open the air regulation flaps in the outlets of the air supply ducts in the centrifuge and filter area.
 Wash affected areas of skin frequently and
 thoroughly! Apply protective ointment to the skin!
  Personal hygiene is of the utmost importance!
  Change dirty overalls regularly!
 Exercise special care when carrying out maintenance work on and cleaning heavy oil and lube oil cen-
trifuges and filters!

2.3 General
The machine described in this manual is a high-speed centrifugal separator with
self-cleaning bowl.
"Separation" means the separation of liquid mixtures which consist of two liq-
uids, with simultaneous removal of the solids contained in the liquids.
"Clarification" is the removal of solids from a liquid.
Prerequisite for treatment technology (separation) is that the components of the
product
– can be separated mechanically,
– have different densities and
– do not emulsify.
2.4 OSE ...-91-...

The separator OSE ...-91-...
 is equipped with a self-cleaning disk bowl,
  is used for clarification and separation in fuel and lube oil treatment plants.
 operates with regulating rings (see section 2.6).
The most important part of the separator is the bowl. The bowl
 is configured as a purifier bowl at the factory,
 can – depending on the application – be converted to function as a clarifier or
purifier bowl.
Conversion of the purifier bowl into a clarifier bowl is possible in a few simple
steps (see diagrams).
In the case of the purifier bowl:

 Mount the centripetal pump chamber
cover with bores.
IMPORTANT: All holes of the cen-
tripetal pump chamber cover must be
open!
 Select the regulating ring (see sec-
tion 2.6).
Fig. 60 Centripetal pump chamber cover

with 2 bores (example)

42 2066-9001-200 / 0410
In the case of the clarifier bowl:

 ATTENTION! Mount the centripetal
pump chamber cover (without bores!)
for operation in clarifier mode.
 Request the part number of the cen-
tripetal pump chamber cover from the
supplier.

10 Centripetal pump (clean oil)
The fuel oil or lube oil is conveyed to the separator via a separate pump.
The product is fed in through a closed line system (1).
The dirty water is discharged (13) by sensing liquid pump (9) via a throttle (6).
The clarified clean oil is discharged (2) under pressure by centripetal pump (10).

2066-9001-200 / 0410 43
The bowl is automatically opened and closed for desludging at full bowl speed by
means of a remote controlled solenoid valve (17) in the operating water line. The
opening time of the solenoid valve is up to 3 seconds.
The control and monitoring unit (8) ensures unmanned operation.

2066-9001-200 / 0410 45
2.5.1 Centripetal pump
Fig. 64
1 Centripetal pumpdischarges the purified liquid under pressure.

 is firmly connected to hood 2 of the separator.

 The disk provided with channels dips
 into the liquid rotating with the bowl.
 The liquid
– is pared off by the centripetal
pump and
– flows through its spiral channels
from the outside to the inside.
By this means the kinetic energy is
converted into pressure energy
which makes possible discharging
the liquid under pressure.
3 Sensing liquid pump  operates on the same principle as centripetal

pump 1.
 conveys the sensing liquid to the monitoring
system.

46 2066-9001-200 / 0410
2.5.2 Bowl
Fig. 65

1 Bowl produces high centrifugal forces through rotation
making possible separation and clarification.
2 Distributor baseaccelerates the product fed in through feed A to the
rotational velocity of the bowl and then con-veys
it into the disk stack.
3 Disk stack  splits the liquid mixture consisting of a light

and heavy phase, e.g. oil-water, into its com-
ponents.
 consists of a large number of conical disks
positioned on top of one another.
Each disk is provided with spacers so that pre-
cisely defined interspaces are formed between
the individual disks.
The smooth disk surfaces facilitate sliding of the
solids and hence self-cleaning of the disks.
Separation chamber The separation space consists of a large number

of parallel chambers of low height. This produc-
es very small radial sedimentation paths for the
product.
Solids collect on the upper wall of each disk interspace

and slide down into the solids holding space.
4 Solids holding space collects the solids separated in the disk stack.

2.5.3 Bowl hydraulics
Fig. 66
A Separation – Bowl closed

B Ejection – Bowl open
1 Operating liquid In the rotating bowl the incoming, rotating oper-

(usually water) ating liquid generates a high centrifugal pres-
sure. This pressure is utilised for actuating the
annular piston and sliding piston which closes
and opens the bowl.
2 Annular pistonis inside the bowl bottom,

 rotates with the same angular velocity as the
 other bowl parts,
 is axially movable.
3 Sliding piston is located inside the bowl bottom,

 rotates with the same angular velocity as the
 other bowl parts,
 is axially movable.

48 2066-9001-200 / 0410
Closing the bowl (separation)
Fig. 67

After starting the separator the solenoid valve for operating liquid is actuated
with the aid of the control unit, and the bowl is closed as follows:
1 Operating liquidflows into the injection chamber 4 of bowlbottom 5 and

 from there through feed holes into closing
 chamber 6.
This initiates closing of the bowl.

2 Annular pistonmoves into closed position.
3 Sliding piston is raised due to the hydrostatic pressure in

closing chamber 6.
 is pressed against the gasket 7 of bowl top
due to the hydrostatic pressure and
 closes the bowl.

2066-9001-200 / 0410 49
Opening the bowl (ejection)
Fig. 68

The solenoid valve for operating liquid is opened with the aid of the control unit,
and the ejection cycle is triggered as follows:
1 Operating liquidflows first into injection chamber 4 and

 from there into opening chamber 8.
2 Annular piston  rises and

 empties closing chamber 6.
3 Sliding piston  moves downwards and

 opens the ejection ports in bowl bottom 5 for
the separated solids 9.

50 2066-9001-200 / 0410
2.5.4 Drive
Fig. 69

1 Drive motor drives the separator.
Power transmission to the bowl spindle is via the
centrifugal clutch to the motor belt pulley and via
the drive belt.
2 Centrifugal clutchensures power transmission between motor,

drive belt and spindle.
 accelerates the bowl gradually to rated
speed;
 is gentle on the drive belt and motor.
Important!
– The driving effect of new clutch shoes will
improve after several starts.
– Smoking of the centrifugal clutch during the
first few starts is perfectly normal and will dis-
appear after a short time of operation.
– Wear to the clutch shoes depends on the
number of starts and the ejection frequency
(see section 4.3.1).
3 Drive belt transfers the drive power of the drive motor 1 to

the bowl spindle 4.
Regularly check the seat and condition of the
drive belt. The inspection and replacement inter-
vals are given in the maintenance schedule (see
4.3.1).
4 Bowl spindle supports the bowl.

2.6 Regulating ring

Perfect separation of a liquid mixture is only possible when the bowl has been
correctly adapted to the density difference between the light liquid (e.g. oil) and
the heavy liquid (e.g. water).
To achieve this, select and fit the regu-

lating ring from the set furnished (with
different inner diameters) whose inner
diameter corresponds to the difference
in density between the two liquid com-
ponents.
Fig. 73 Regulating ring (example)
The inner diameter of the regulating ring to be selected can be determined from
the table or empirically. The general rule of thumb is:
 narrow regulating ring for heavy oil
 wide regulating ring for light oil.

2.6.2 Determination by experiment

(explained using the example of oil purification)
Always try a wide regulating ring and then the next smaller ring.
When the regulating ring is too wide the discharging water contains oil.
When the regulating ring is too narrow the discharging clean oil contains water.
The water may look milky or dirty. The coloration comes from the washing of the
oil.
In the bowl, a separation zone is formed between the light and heavy phases
whose centre is the separating line.
After opening the bowl, the position of the separating zone can be recognised by
the almost always visible separating line between water and oil on the under-side
of the separating disk.
Correctly selected regulating ring

The separating line between water and
variable
oil is at the outer edge of the discs.
Effect:
– The discharging clean oil is free of
water.
– The discharging water is free of oil.
Fig. 74
Regulating ring too wide

The separating line between water and
too wide oil runs
– far outside the discs and
– too close to the outer edge of the
separating disk.
Effect:
– The discharging clean oil is free of
water.
– The discharging water contains oil or
– oil breaks the water seal.
Fig. 75
Regulating ring too narrow

too narrow The separating line between the liquid
components does not pass at the outer
edge of the discs but further inwards.
Effect:
– The discharging clean oil contains
water.
– The discharging water is free of oil.

2.8 Product feed line and product discharge line
The separator is adapted to local con-

ditions for throughput capacity and line
pressure by means of orifice plates
installed in product feed line A and
product discharge line B (see section
4.2).
Fig. 80
2.8.1 Throughput monitoring (product feed line A)

The effective throughput capacity of the separator is stated on the project de-
pendent data sheet.
The inner diameters of the orifice plates required for the different throughput ca-
pacities can be read from the following table:
Flowmeter – Scale: 0 – 10
Inner diameter of orifice
Throughput capacity plate
[l/h] [mm]
300 – 600 4
600 – 1 000 5

2.8.2 Determining the throughput rate (product feed line A)
Fig. 81 Diagram for determining the throughput rate
A Inner diameter of orifice plate (mm)

B Throughput capacity (x 1000 l/h)
C Scale area of flowmeter
D no orifice plate
The throughput capacity of the separator (volume of product to be treated fed by

unit of time) can be determined with the aid of the diagram.
Procedure:
 Read the value on the scale of flowmeter 2 (see Fig.

80). e.g. 3

 From the value read from the scale (e.g. 3) draw a line up to the curve of the
inner diameter of the built-in orifice plate A (e.g. Ø 6).

 Read the throughput rate B appearing vertically
below: e.g. 1.06 (= 1060 l/h)
The precision in throughput determination depends on the following characteris-

tics of the product to be processed:
– Viscosity
– Temperature
– Density
The parameters mentioned here can lead to inexact determination of the
throughput rate.

3.1 Technical information

Take note of the following sections:
3.1.1 Notes on separation

The separator is used for clarification and separation in fuel and lube oil treat-
ment plants.
The best separation effect is obtained with low viscosity of the product to be
separated.
The separator operates economically with the separating temperatures and ca-
pacities specified by us. Refer to the data sheet and contractual agreements.
Procedure:
 Select the desired operating mode on the control unit.

 Set the separating time on the control unit.

 Start the separator (see 3.2).
3.1.2 General information on bowl ejection

The bowl is ejected automatically at full speed during the program sequence.
The time at which the ejection is triggered is
 determined by the preset separating time
or

 by the solids level in the
 bowl, if:
 – SMS was selected on the control unit,
– the sludge space is full before the separating time has elapsed.
For determining the separating time see 3.5.
Sequence of an ejection (example without “Filling”)
1. Separating time has elapsed.

2. Product feed valve is closed.
3. Displacement water displaces the fuel oil to the clean oil side.
4. Operating water opens and closes the bowl hydraulically at full bowl
speed.
5. Waiting time for speed recovery.
6. Product valve is opened.
7. Separating time resumes.
Displacement
 When separating, the loss of feed liquid unavoidable during ejection can be
reduced to a minimum by displacing the feed liquid with water before sludge
ejection takes place (especially important when processing valuable feed liq-
uid).

2066-9001-200 / 0410 69
 The duration of displacement water supply is given in the timer overview (see
control unit manual).

 If the displacement time is too long, water will discharge through the light liq-
uid outlet.

 If the displacement time is too short, part of the product remains in the bowl
and is lost during desludging.
Flush ejection
If the solids cant be completely ejected,
– due to an excessively long dwell time in the bowl or
– are stuck too firmly on the wall of the solids holding space due to the solids
properties,
  either the separating time must be shortened or

 a flush ejection must be carried out after the total ejection by filling the bowl
with water or product and emptying it again.
Program control
 "Displacement", "ejection" and "flush ejections" at precisely defined intervals
are best carried out with the automatic control unit.

 The clean oil discharge and water discharge can be monitored.

 Faults can be signalled visually or audibly.

3.3 Starting the separator

 See section 3.2.1 or 3.2.2

 Switch on the control unit.

 Switch on the separator motor.
Compare the starting current and starting time with the diagram (section 4.1.3)
 until the bowl reaches the speed specified on the separator nameplate. Note:
The run-up phase of the separator motor is signalled by slow flashing of the
LED in the “Status Separator” key.
ATTENTION! Before the first start-up – after maintenance and repair work
on the separator -
 Check the direction of rotation of the bowl.
The bowl must rotate in clockwise direction when looked at from above.
The direction of rotation of the bowl is

correct when the drive belt rotates
clockwise (check through the sight
glass in the frame).
When the direction of rotation is incor-
rect the motor connections must be
reversed by an authorised specialist.

  Start the program.

 P re -c o n d itio n s :
 – Continuous lighting of the LED in the “Status Separator” button.
 – The specified separating temperature has been reached.
– The solids tank has been released (level switch LSHH).The solids tank is
empty.

  After the product feed valve has automatically opened.
– Set the backpressure in the product discharge line to approx. 1.5 to 2.5 bar
 (see order-specific operating data sheet).
– Adjust the desired throughput capacity; while doing so, maintain the back-
pressure in the product discharge line in the specified area.
ATTENTION!
 Check the discharges for solids and dirty water; there must be no oil flow
during the separating process!
3.4 Monitoring of operation

The machine is monitored largely by the separator control.
Operations to be carried out regularly:

 On your daily round, especially during the first 1500 operating hours, pay at-
 tention to the following:
– Oil level
– Temperatures
– Pressures
– Leakage
– Vibrations
– Current consumption
– Starting time
– Hoses and hose pipes
– Pipe joints

 Keep to the maintenance schedule (see 4.3.1)!

2066-9001-200 / 0410 75
 Inspection
We, therefore, recommend in your own interest to have your separator in-
 spected by our service engineers once a year. These checks help to
 – maintain the operating safety of the machine and
– avoid unscheduled downtime.
Im p o rta n t!
 Regularly check plant components such as hose pipes, sight glasses for


76 2066-9001-200 / 0410
3.5 Setting the separation time

When using time-dependent automatic control programs, accurate setting of the
separation time (time between ejection cycles) is only possible if the throughput
capacity and solids loading in the feed remain constant. If this is not the case, it
may be necessary to correct the settings during operation.
The separating time depends on
 the preselected operating mode (partial or total ejection mode),
 the solids loading in the feed,
 the consistency of the solids,
 the effective solids space volume in the bowl,
 the separator throughput.
Given constant conditions, the separating time can be determined by calcula-
tion.
The following times have proven appropriate in practice (examples):
Product Total ejection Partial ejection

HFO max. 2 h max. 1 h
MDO max. 2 h max. 1 h
DO max. 4 h max. 2 h
LO mild max. 4 h max. 2 h
LO HD max. 2 h max. 1 h
3.5.1 Mathematical calculation

Example for mathematical calculation of the separating time:
Given: Solids content (1) p = 0.05 %

Solids holding space volume V = 0.5 l
Solids holding space given 75 % utilisation V' = 0.375 l
Throughput capacity (1) Vo = 1 000 l/h
Wanted: Separating time t = ? min
The separating time to be set is calculated as follows:
V’ 0.375
t= ——— • 60 • 100 = —————— • 6 000 = 45 min = 0.75 h
V • p 1 000 • 0.05
(1)
Solids content and throughput capacity must be determined on site or taken from
the order specification.

 End the separation program with the key "Process STOP”.

– Two total ejections are performed automatically.
Manual operation (in the case of unscheduled shut–down)
 Switch off the preheater (option).

– Continue to feed product for a few minutes since the preheater continues
to heat for a short time.
 Close the product feed line.
 – Close the product feed valve manually.
 Displacement:
– Open the displacement water valve using the manual override.
(The bowl contents are displaced without loss by opening the displace-
ment water valve).
 Eject the bowl:
– Open the operating liquid valve using the manual override for approx. 2 –
3 seconds.
 Speed recovery
– Wait for approx. 20 – 30 seconds.

  Switch off the product feed pump (option).
 – The product feed pump continues to run (timer 23)!
 – The LED in the “FEED” button shows the post-run phase by slow flashing.
– The control valves for thermal oil and steam preheater close automatically.
ATTENTION!
If the control unit or the control voltage 24 VDC fails, the automatic post-run
phase of the product feed pump is disabled.
The product feed pump may never be switched off to the steam shut-off valve
without a delay time. The pre-heater could get damaged!
All heaters (e.g. steam-fired, thermal oil, electric heaters) must be manually
shut down.
Manual shut-down of the product feed pump must be carried out delayed.
 Close the product feed valve in the suction side of the product feed pump (op-
tion).

plate 1 class
F*
* WS standard
The separator is driven by a three-phase AC motor via a centrifugal clutch and
the drive belt.
The specified motor ratings are minimum values which are based on the in-
creased starting current. Since the current consumption of the motor drops after
start-up, overloading of the motor during operation is not possible.
The starting time depends on the
– flywheel effect of the bowl,
– number of clutch shoes used,
– condition of the clutch shoes.
The starting current can peak at about 1.8 - 2 times the rated current (see start-
up diagram). This is to be considered when selecting switches, lead-in wires and
fuses.
The motor
– can be started direct online (WS standard) or via a motor control for star-
delta switching (Ex-zone).

98 2066-9001-200 / 0410
– is protected against overheating by thermal overload releases or a PTC

thermistor as sole protection.
(As WS standard, the motor is protected against overheating by three PTC
thermistors).
– can be equipped with a frequency converter if requested by the customer.
When using thermal overload releases, the motor has to be protected as fol-
lows:
– during operation by a release set to the rated current and
– during start-up by a second release set to 1.8 - 2 times the rated current.
The release set to the rated current must be bridged during start-up.
Note:
 The temperature feelers must be connected to a commercial tripping device.

 External voltage higher than 2.5 volts must not be applied to the connection
terminals of the temperature feelers.

 When testing for continuity, use an ohmmeter and not a test lamp.
Electrical connection
CAUTION: Danger to life and limb through electric current!

There might be residual voltage!
In the case of motors with space heaters, residual voltages in the motor
terminal box are possible despite switched off main switch.
Prior to working on the motor:

 Refer to the motor nameplate.
 Refer to the motor instruction manual.
Germany in accordance with the rules and regulations of the VDE (Associa-
 tion of German Electrical Engineers) or of the local electric power company.
 Any work on the motor may be carried out by an authorized electrician
only.

 Connect the motor.

The bowl speed has been rated so as to ensure the operating safety of the sep-
arator.
CAUTION: Danger to life as a result of an incorrect frequency!

 Check the separator and control for frequency consistency.
In case of frequency converter operation:

The frequency converter is equipped with a reliable frequency limitation to pre-
vent operation at inadmissibly high bowl speeds.
CAUTION!
 Operate the separator with fre-
quency converter, speed monitor-
ing device and hardware-
controlled speed shut-off device.
 Do not under any circumstances
manipulate the frequency con-
verter to exceed the permissible
bowl speed (see nameplate)!
 Check from time to time that
– the bowl speed (see nameplate)
and
Fig. 107 – motor frequency (see nameplate
and frequency converter display!)
coincide with the separator speed.

4.3 Maintenance and lubrication
 Special care must be taken when performing maintenance and lubrication

operations.
Conscientiously performed maintenance and lubrication operations improve
the service life of the separator.

 In the case of accessories (motor, product pump, preheater, solenoid valve
block etc.) the manufacturer’s maintenance and lubrication instructions must be
observed.

  Maintenance and repair work may be carried out only by persons
– who are demonstrably familiar with the state-of-the-art through briefings and
 training.
– who are adequately qualified for performing the work and checking it.

 Electrical work may only be carried out by an authorized electrician!
 Use only genuine spare parts from Westfalia Separator.
4.3.1 Maintenance schedule
ATTENTION!
The following maintenance intervals are recommendations which apply only for normal operating
conditions.
Negative operating conditions (e.g. low-grade fuel, excessively high temperature, strong vibrations,
frequent starting and stopping of the separator etc.) can necessitate shorter maintenance intervals.
To assure correct functioning and operating safety,

 in case of non-routine shut-down, see section 3.7 - manual operation.

 Pay attention to the following points during servicing:
– Oil level – Current consumption
– Temperatures – Starting time
– Pressures – Hoses and hose pipes (see 4.3.2)
– Leakage – Pipe joints
– Vibrations
 Before every assembly, grease the main components of the bowl at guide and contact surfaces (see section 4.3.4 -
lubrication schedule).
 in the case of frequent starting and stopping of the separator, shaft-driven alternator operation and in power plants, the
condition of the clutch shoes must be checked more often than stated in this schedule. It is not possible to state a defini-
 tive time. We recommend checking the clutch shoes after 1000 operating hours or after 2 months at the latest.

4.3.6 Comments on table of lubricating oils for separators from Westfalia Separator
Faultless functioning of separators very much depends on the proper type of lubricating oil used, since a
high grade oil, selected to meet all service requirements, will minimize the wear, thus extending the ser-
vice life and increasing the operating safety.
For the lubrication of our separators we recommend to use the oils specified by us since continuous qual-
ity checks are performed by Westfalia Separator. Oils proposed from some firms are not subjected to these
tests.
Therefore, Westfalia Separator cannot give a performance guarantee for those oils.
Be sure to select only high grade solvent refined products.
The specified oil types meet the requirements according to DIN. Under unfavourable operating condi-tions,
e.g. high temperatures, the quality of the oils may be insufficient so that more efficient oils, e.g. synthetic
oils, must be used. If necessary, consult Westfalia Separator.
For the different separator types and oil types the viscosity ranges are specified in the table of lubricating
oils.
The operating temperature of the separator exceeds normally 80 oC (176 oF). At those temperatures some
oils age quickly, so that they have to be changed prematurely.
Be sure not to use lubricating oils with viscosities lower than those specified in the table. Due to the pos-
sibility of the oil film breaking down, oil of too low a viscosity will give insufficient lubrication, resulting in
increased wear. However, oils with a slightly higher viscosity than specified may be used.
Bear in mind that the viscosity groups SAE 30, 40 and 50 (SAE = Society of Automotive Engineers) cov-
er larger viscosity ranges and be sure to select lubricating oils with viscosities not lower than the mini-mum
values of the viscosity ranges restricted for the different separator types.

4.4.6 Important instructions for assembling the bowl

When the bowl has not been correctly assembled or is inadequately cleaned,
forces can be produced in the high-speed rotating bowl which endanger the
operating safety of the separator!
Therefore, the cleaning instructions (section 4.4.2) and assembling instructions
(section 4.4.7) must be exactly followed.
Pay particular attention to the following:
ATTENTION!
 Before assembling the bowl, check to be sure that the guide and contact sur-
faces of the bowl are clean.

 Grease the guide surfaces as specified in the lubrication schedule (see 4.3.4).

 Some bowl parts are arranged in
fixed positions relative to one anoth-
 er.
 Locking devices and alignment
marks must be in perfect condition.
 IMP ORTANT:
The bowl must otherwise not be op-
erated.
Fig. 161
 When fitting the bowl parts, make

sure that the "O" marks on all parts
are aligned.
(Only then will the parts fit correctly
over arresting pins and guide ribs).
