Title: - Charring of Dry Filter of control fluid regeneration system

Abstract: - Control fluid regeneration system comprises of two recirculation pumps

(gear type), heater, dry filter, Fuller earths filter, and polishing filter. Control fluid from
protection tank / control fluid tank is pumped by ecirculation pump and fed back to
control fluid tank. !t is heated then it passes through dry filter where mechanical
impurities are remo"ed. #ubse$uently it is passed through fuller earth and polishing
filters for remo"ing ionic impurities. %ue to malfunctioning of heater, the control fluid is
o"erheated and dry filters were charred by development of electrostatic charge in filter.
Modification done at site& -
%e"elopment of electrostatic charge can be restricted by pro"iding minimum flow
through dry filter. 'his is done by pro"iding a "ent line from dry filter to control fluid
tank with orifice (().*++). For this purpose spare "ent connection on the co"er of dry
filter is pro"ided.
