What is high velocity oil flushing?

In order to meet oil system cleanliness specifications, you will need to safely execute a high velocity oil flush on a regular basis. A professional hot oil flush will remove system contamination from the critical components of your lube oil systems, while rapidly removing the contaminants that naturally accumulate through fluid systems. This improves performance and pre-emptively minimises downtime.

At Bowen, we have state-of-the-art high flow filtration equipment and experienced technicians to perform a wide array of filtration and flushing services at your job site.

By circulating hot oil or a flushing fluid through the piping of a system at a very high flow rate, turbulent flow can be achieved, which dislodges particles that would otherwise cling to the walls during laminar flow. These particles are then removed from the piping and tank as the fluid is circulated through a series of filters.

Why use high velocity oil flushing?

Periodic flushing is one of the best ways to ensure optimal system cleanliness and improve the health of your system.

Routine high velocity hot oil flushing is a vital part of preventive maintenance for all rotational equipment and systems. The damage that contamination can cause is well-recognised in our industry and has been linked, with certainty, to pump damage, machine failure and breakage.

By using our High Velocity Oil Flush process, our team at Bowen Fluid Engineering aims to reduce unscheduled costly downtime, minimise expenses, increase the availability of manpower by reducing regular maintenance jobs, enhance equipment reliability, and establish greater maintenance control.

After new fabrication, it's also crucial that you conduct a high velocity oil flush. After equipment breakdown or repair of piping and tubing, it is important to flush the lines to remove all foreign debris, thereby preventing premature or repeated machine failure. This will not only improve the overall performance of your system but give it a longer life.
