How to Install the Kleenoil Bypass Filter System

 

 

Introduction

The Kleenoil Onboard Oil Recycling System is installed in a bypass loop. The oil will be finely recycled and any water removed, as the equipment is operating. As a result of this process, the oil is maintained in a clean useable condition, dramatically changing any oil drain interval. The following procedures should be followed during installation of a Kleenoil Onboard Oil Recycling System to any hydraulic oil circuit or to a lubricating system as found in a diesel engine.

The Kleenoil Filtration Unit

The unit is supplied complete with the following items unless requested otherwise.

  1. Cast aluminum casing, lid, lid sealing ring, lid bolts, nuts and washers.
  2. Supporting bracket complete with four bolts, washers and two nuts.
  3. Cartridge already installed in the unit ready for use.
  4. Length of high pressure internally braided 3/16th Gates hose.
  5. Four assorted hose connectors.
  6. Valve reduction package. Optional extra item for use on high pressure hydraulics.

Installation Procedure

  1. Select a convenient place for locating the unit on the equipment.
  2. Rigidly install the holding bracket.
  3. Bolt the unit onto the holding bracket, preferably in a vertical position.
  4. Select the appropriate oil pressure supply point on the engine or the hydraulic system.
  5. Remove the existing plug and replace with a brass fitting leaving a number 4 JIC male.
  6. Select the appropriate oil return point on the engine or the hydraulic system.
  7. Remove the existing plug and replace with a brass fitting leaving a number 4 JIC male.
  8. Measure and cut the lengths of hose required for both the supply and the return lines.
  9. Install the four appropriate hose end connectors to the hoses. (2 to each hose)
  10. Connect each hose from the Kleenoil Onboard Oil Recycling System to the engine of hydraulic system.
  11. Secure and protect hoses using plastic hose clips.

Testing Procedure

  1. Run the system using the oil for 15 to 20 minutes or until the oil is warm.
  2. Check for leaks at connection points, and tighten up as necessary.
  3. Place hand carefully on top of the unit. If it is warm, it is working satisfactorily.
  4. If it is cold, something is wrong, the oil is not flowing as it should.
  5. Switch off the oil flow and check the connections are correct, and try again.

Notes

  1. Install the Kleenoil Onboard Oil Recycling System above the static level of the oil.
  2. Install the unit vertically allowing space for removal of the cartridge.
  3. For engines: Oil pressure points are located along the oil gallery, oil sending light, around the OEM filter housing. Oil return points are located at the pan, at dip stick connection access, or on any return oil flow lines.
  4. For hydraulics: Do not install a Kleenoil Onboard Oil Recycling System on a pressure line without some form of reduction valve package.
    The unit normally operates around 30 to 80 psi. (The lid will crack at 147 psi) Check first for cooler systems or case drains associated with pumps that operate at low pressures. (30 to 50 psi) These will allow the Kleenoil Onboard Oil Recycling System to be installed into the oil flow without the use of reducing valve packages. Check with your operating manual if in doubt.

Edan Farms Testimonial

Edan Farms has been using PowerUp for over 20 years in all our Semi-tractors. We have been a contractor for Fedex Ground running from 20-30 rigs nearly every day. Each truck travels over 200,000 per year.

One of the first things we noticed when we started using PowerUp is that our engines run cooler. Since using PowerUp, we have not had to overhaul an engine in less than 1 million miles and most we haven't overhauled in less than 1.4 million miles. When we do take the engine apart, it is always very clean, and wear is extremely minimal. In 20 years, we have not had a single differential gear failure due to lubrication.

With PowerUp, we extended our oil drains to 30,000 miles and could have probably run further if we had chosen to.

About 10 years ago, because of your presentation on KleenOil Filtration, we started adding these filter units to our engine. With the continuous purification of the oil and complete removal of water, we now have been able to extend oil drains to well over 300,000 miles per rig. We still sample each engine every 30,000 miles and have been very impressed with the condition of the oil even after these extended oil drains. We have never had an issue due to lubrication with any of the engines.

PowerUp and Kleenoil have saved us thousands upon thousands of dollars in oil changes, engine repairs and overhauls. Presumably, though we have never collected the data, we have saved thousands in fuel costs because the engines maintain their efficiency due to very low wear.

I personally maintain our engines and I am a believer in these products because I have seen the results. I would recommend them to anyone. Please feel free to have anyone call if they have any questions.

PORTUS INTERMODALES, SA DE CV Testimonial

"We have 15 new buses from Volkswagen that we installed both the Kleenoil oil bypass filter system for the engine oil and and Kleenfuel fuel bypass filter systems on for the diesel fuel system.  There has been a big push as of late on environmental issues in Sonora, Mexico by the State Governor Claudia Pavlovich.  We feel that Kleenoil and Kleenfuel really have a positive impact on the environment.  With both systems installed on each bus, the fuel economy has increased from 2.2 km per liter to 2.7 km per liter.  This is a 22.7% increase in fuel economy!  The 15 buses currently outfitted with both systems are now saving $11,500 USD per month on diesel fuel and $19,500 USD per year on oil change costs.  Furthermore, on lubrication we are now saving 80% on lubricants and down time.  This savings directly impacts our bottom line and is a great benefit to the environment due to the fact that we are now recycling our oil and burning cleaner fuel!  Our plan is to keep outfitting our fleet with Kleenoil and Kleenfuel products until we have 100% of our fleet outfitted with both systems.  The people from COMSA are handling the cartridge changes for us as well as the oil sampling that is sent to the third party lab for testing.  We have been very pleased with the results!"

Energy Drilling Testimonial

"We were changing our engine oil on our drilling rigs every 250-500 hours depending on the type of engine.  When we tested the new Kleenoil filter system, we still had good oil at 5000 HOURS and made the decision to use the Kleenoil filter systems on all of our engines. We now change our oil at 2000 hours and have extended our oil life 8 times.  Based on ISO standards, our oil at 1000 hours is better than new oil.  One big question is how this affects warranties?  None of these practices will affect our warranty."

Maine Maritime Academy Testimonial

"Maine Maritime Academy has been using Kleenoil Bypass Filtration systems on our ocean tug PENTAGOET for over ten years and the Power-Up additives for the last three years. With the combined use of Kleenoil Bypass Filtration and the Power-Up products, we have been able to extend our oil out five oil change intervals, a cost savings to the school of over $5,000 on that one vessel.  Due to the results, Maine Maritime Academy has since fitted their entire utility fleet with Kleenoil Bypass systems.  Thank you, Kleenoil USA Inc., for working with Maine Maritime Academy to find ways to reduce our dependence on oil and as a direct result, save the tax payers of Maine a substantial sum of money."
