Heteroadagulation of microdrops of compressor oil and the cleaning of water from them on carbon fabric

The process of the microdrop coarsening of KhA-30 compressor oil on carbon fabric is studied. The problem is connected with the necessity of the cleaning of air and water from the microdrops of oils cooling the compressors. The heteroadagulation method allowed for the separation of water from compressor oil particles with a diameter 0.8–7.6 μm over the course of a few minutes. The oiling of the carbon fabric is reduced to a minimum. For the first time, by an order of magnitude, finer discontinuities, which can behave as stable cluster origination centers, are observed on the surface of micron-sized oil drops.
