Flushing oil requirements

Flushing oil requirements

Flushing oil requirements

(OP)
Hi there!

Is there any design criteria for determining flushing oil requirements for equipment (i.e., flow rate)?

Any help is well appreciated.

RE: Flushing oil requirements

For rotating equipment I do not know of any US code requirements such as API.

The equipment manufactuer usually specifies the hot oil flush requirements for the piping external to the unit.

By the way, I would recommend that you get a speciality contractor to do the work.  They have the equipment to do the flushing and the meters necessary to measure the cleaness level.
