Mueller - Model SVC -Lube Oil Sump Vent Coalescer
The Mueller Model SVC is a static mechanical separation and collection system that removes 99.5% of the particles 3 microns and larger from the oil reservoir vent, allowing for collection and return of oil to waste oil storage and eliminating the oil film discharge that is typically a by product of both gas turbine and reciprocating engine prime movers.
Medium and low-speed, large horsepower, 2 & 4 cycle reciprocating engines require extensive amounts of mineral and synthetic oils for lubrication, sealing and cooling of bearing surfaces. Engines of this type utilize a recirculating lubrication system for the return and storage of oil. During system operation lubricant is subjected to high-temperature and mechanical forces on bearing surfaces, creating a mist within the oil storage reservoir made up of large droplets (generated by mechanical) and submicron droplets (generated by condensing oil vaporized on hot bearing surfaces). The oil storage reservoir is vented to atmosphere resulting in oil vapor loss, which coats the surrounding area with an unsightly and hazardous oil film.
The versatile SVC eliminates this problem, easily connecting to the oil reservoir vent through a variety of configurations. Like all Mueller products, it is built to last and for years has proven to be a reliable workhorse over a wide range of applications and conditions.
