Why is there oil leakage through drain outlet to collecting tank when Alfa Laval Alfie Other separator is not running?
Oil leakage through the drain outlet to the collecting tank when the separator is not running is likely due to oil being siphoned from the fluid tank because of the siphon effect. To resolve this, disconnect both hoses connected to the oil tank.
Why is the separation result insufficient in my Alfa Laval Other?
An insufficient separation result can occur due to several reasons. The suction device in the liquid tank may be positioned too high; adjust the height. A clogged separator disc stack can also cause this issue; clean the separator bowl and disc stack. Additionally, if the counter pressure is too low, it can affect separation; increase the counter pressure until oil is observed to be discharged from the oil outlet.
