Central and Decentralized Systems for Coolant Filtration

Decentralized Systems

There are several advantages to a Decentralized Coolant Filtration System, the new trend and future in filtration systems.  A Decentralized System eliminates HP need for large amounts of flushing, reduces piping and installation costs by 40% to 80%, reduces energy costs by 20% to 30%, eliminates the need for large pumpback systems, and reduces initial cost, in comparison to central systems, by 10% to 40%.

Four Decentralized Approaches

  • Japanese Automotive Approach - Individual Units with Rotary Drums & Cyclonic Filters
  • Barnes/Ingersol Block Line - High Capacity Rotary Drum System and Chiller
  • Individual Units with Central Polishing - Individual Units with Rotary Drums and Vacuum Polishing filter and Chiller
  • Single Decentralized System for 2 to 8 Machines - Modular Rotary Drum Unit with Error Proof Backflush Secondary System and Chiller.  

Central Systems

Barnes and our Japanese affiliate, Mosnic Corporation of Tokyo, Japan together have supplied coolant filtration systems for Nissan North America's new V-8 engine manufacturing facility in Tennessee. These systems will filter aluminum and cast iron material from the coolant used in machining of cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and crankshafts.

Barnes has had a relationship with Mosnic for more than 20 years and has teamed with them to building large central systems for Toyoda Motor Manufacturing in Kentucky and Delphi Automotive Systems near Paris, France.


Central Coolant Filtration System
 

 5,685 gpm Central Coolant Filtration System for V-8 and V-6 Engine Block Line. Includes primary drag conveyor, two (2) Barnes Kleenall Rotary Drum (RD) Filters, eight (8) Systems Pumps (1 Spare), Header, PLC Controller, automatic coolant make-up unit and accessory equipment. This system was later expanded to 11,495 gpm by the adding two (2) Rotary Drum Filters, eight (8) System Pumps, Header, PLC Controller and accessory equipment.

 
Five (5) System Pumps and Header for 3,350 gpm Central Coolant Filtration System. PLC Controller starts pumps sequentially to prevent "water hammer" shock to return coolant piping system.

In-Floor Flumes
 

 Typical Barnes in-floor dirty coolant flumes with clean coolant return pipes installed in pre-poured concrete trenches. A small portion of the clean coolant is used for flume flushing. Trench covers have been removed for this picture.

In the NNA facility, there are more than 1.7 miles of flume currently installed.

Typical Mosnic/Barnes Chip Processing Equipment for Central Coolant Filtration Systems. Includes Chip crusher, Centrifuge, Conveyors and Magnetic System to separate aluminum and iron chips

A Bright Future
For Barnes

According to David Gollob, C.O.O and President of Barnes International, Inc.,
the future of filtration is bright based on new product development, an innovative approach of decentralized systems, and much more.
