Desorber D40 — Separating water from oil

Desorbers D40 from CJC® dewater and dry your oil within a very short time — whether hydraulic oil, gear oil, lubricating oil, machining oil, leakage oil or quenching oil, and whether mineral based oil or synthetic fluid. Installation in a separate off-line circuit ior at a free-standing tank allows continuous water separation, independent of the operation of your machine. The CJC® Desorber D40 removes free, emulsified and dissolved water from the oil and minimizes the water content to 0.01% — even in emulsions with a water content of up to < 70% and highly viscous oils. Water separation by desorption is independent of additives and air content in the oil.

The CJC® D40 reduces the water content and thus protects against

  • Changed viscosity and lubricating effect

  • Accelerated oil ageing and premature additive degradation

  • Formation of oil ageing products (varnish, oil sludge and acids)

  • Wear, corrosion, cavitation and deteriorated air separation

  • Spread of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and fungi

After solids, water is the second most common cause of failures and malfunctions in lubricating oil and hydraulic systems. Your solution: CJC® Desorber

Application areas & installation example Desorber D40

Installation principle desorber D10, oil drying, mineral oil, synthetic fluids, emulsions

The pump in the oil inlet of the desorber D40 sucks in the oil. In the desorber chamber, the warm, moist oil meets a counterflow of cold, dry air. The oil heats the cold air, which allows it to absorb a lot of moisture from the oil (system pressure constantly low < 2 bar). In a subsequent process, the warm, moist air cools down again, and the water condenses.

  • Hydraulic and hydrostatic systems
  • Gearboxes and lubricating oil systems
  • Oil recovering:
    • Machining oil
    • Leakage oil
    • Quenching oil

Particularly in the paper, steel, plastics and metal processing industries, as well as in maritime applications, there is a high risk of water entering the oil systems due to the environment and processes involved.

  • Mineral oils
  • Bio oil / environmentally acceptable lubricants
  • Ester
  • PAG (Poly Alpha Glycol)
  • PAO (Poly Alpha Olefin)
  • other synthetic fluids

That say our customers

Hydrostatische Systeme

“I am completely satisfied with the investment. Oil drying takes place very quickly and without machine downtime. Thus, we keep the production stable, have time to look for the failure cause, avoid the oil change and waste oil disposal, and maintain the oil quality.”

The Desorber works excellently in this application. I was impressed by the results and surprised how efficiently the Desorber dewatered the oil. The Desorber is easy to operate and is low-maintenance.”

The CJC® Desorber allows us to operate the tug boat until the regular inspection in the dry dock in 6 months. The oil analysis results speak for themselves and substantiate the efficiency of the Desorber.

“It was only with the Desorber that the gear oil could finally be dried satisfactorily. Without CJC®, we would have had to change the 1,500 litres of gear oil soon. By avoiding the oil change, we were able to save EUR 4,890 (EUR 3.26/litre) – an important contribution not only in terms of budget but also in terms of resource savings. The excellent results convinced us, so we decided to purchase two identical Desorbers for our tug boats, “Bugsier 5” and “Bugsier 6”.

“The Desorber is ideal for such operations because it works continuously while the vessel is at sea. The results are very satisfactory. The Desorber works very well and will further reduce the water content.”
