During the operation time of the system, samples were taken frequently and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Next to a standard fluid analysis, a MPC and gravimetric solids (MPC weight) test was done to measure the varnish potential and the results were phenomenal. After just 3 weeks of filtration, the varnish potential (MPC value) went from a critical level of 63.4 to 7.8 and the MPC weight decreased from .0182 to .0072 grams. In the following 5
weeks, the MPC dropped even lower to an incredible 1.6 and weight down to .0038 grams. The ISO cleanliness levels also dropped from an extremely dirty 25/20/14 to 17/14/11 in 3 weeks. 5 weeks after that the ISO code dropped even further to the target level of 15/13/10.

As the data shows, the cleanliness and health of the lubricant improved dramatically in a very short period of
time and will greatly improve the uptime of the machine, allowing this manufacturer to realize significant savings
in maintenance and repair costs.
