Principal of Operation
The ThermoJet Oil Purifier works on the principal of air stripping. The use of air bubbled through
contaminated liquids has long been used to remove contaminants. But the use of this technique was
restricted because the volume of gas required was large due to limited mixing of the gas with the
liquid. The unique technology embodied by the ThermoJet
makes air stripping practical and efficient
because of the mixing and intimate contact of the air with the fluid being cleaned. In addition, the
ThermoJet utilizes the principal that the capacity of air to entrain moisture increases exponentially
with temperature.
The ThermoJet is designed to operate on ISO 32 through ISO 220 oils from circulating oil systems. Oil with
higher viscosity (ISO 150 and ISO 220) must be at 40oC (100oF) minimum temperature at the inlet to the
ThermoJet during start-up. Dewatering
The ThermoJet® removes dissolved and emulsified water from industrial lubricants. The ThermoJet
returns the viscosity of the lube oil and restore it to like new levels. No longer is there a need to dispose
of water laden lube oils; these oils can be purified and reused.
Flow through the Unit
The suction pump of the ThermoJet draws contaminated oil from the user lube or hydraulic system.
Flexible hose or hard piping can be used to connect the ThermoJet to the system reservoir. A one and
one half horsepower motor drives the suction pump. The suction pump is protected by a “Y” strainer.
From the pump the oil passes through a filter. This cartridge filter can be easily replaced. It is
recommended replacement be made when the pressure differential across it, as monitored by two
easily read gages which are externally mounted on the panel above the access door, reaches 30 PSI
( 2 BAR). From the filter the oil passes through the heater that elevates the oil to 180° F (82° C).
The electric heater temperature is set and controlled with a solid-state temperature controller whose
operation is viewed through a window on the electrical control box. After the heater, the oil passes
through the heart of the ThermoJet, the dual stage jet mixer
The Jet Mixer
This proprietary and uniquely designed device is the heart of the system. Without the aid of secondary
pressure, it continuously and automatically draws ambient air into the heated oil stream as delivered to
it by the inlet pump. The ambient air becomes intimately mixed with the oil and assumes the temperature
of the oil and absorbs water from the oil. The oil leaves the Jet Mixer and is directed to the separation
vessel that operates at atmospheric pressure. Here the moisture laden air expands and leaves the oil
thus cleansing the oil of water. Return of Clean Oil
In the separation vessel the oil from the jet mixer cascades down trays to promote the release of the
water laden air. A volume of oil is maintained in the lower portion of the separation vessel to allow any
entrained air to leave the oil so that none is contained in the return oil stream. The second close
coupled pump driven by the electric motor returns oil to the user reservoir. Water vapor vents from
the separation vessel and travels through a filter and oil absorbing media to insure that discharge from
the unit is oil free. The water condensate discharged from the ThermoJet can be piped to a sanitary
sewer.
MountingOptions
The ThermoJet Model H2500 Oil Purifier is offered in two different mounting configurations so that the unit
can best fit client requirements. All series units are available as base mounted with lifting eyes. See the
H2500E Model Code sheet for additional mounting options.

Receipt Inspection
Remove all shipping materials and plastic plugs.
Inspect for shipping damage externally and internally (open enclosure door), and immediately report any
damage found to the delivering freight company. It is desirable to take photographs of any damage to
substantiate your claim.
Inspect for completeness of materials and equipment against the packing list and the purchase order. If
you believe there are discrepancies, notify customer service.
Placement of Equipment
Locate the ThermoJetOil Purifier as close as possible to the oil reservoir in an upright position. For base
mounted units verify the adequacy and strength of all relevant supporting surfaces, See Dimensional
Drawings in the PARTS LIST / DRAWINGS / SCHEMATICS section of this manual for anchor bolt and
equipment clearance dimensions
The base mounted ThermoJet Oil Purifier is constructed with lift rings to assist in equipment placement.
Ensure that lifting equipment and rigging is suitable for safely lifting, moving and placing the equipment.
Using standard plant practices secure the ThermoJet Oil Purifier to the installation surface by bolting the
four (4) mounting feet.
NOTICE:
Be sure to leave working space around the system and consider
space requirements for electric heater removal, fully opened access
door, control panel enclosure door, and gauge monitoring.
Do not tip or stand equipment on edge
WARNING
Use suitable transport equipment for lifting and
setting the equipment into place. Ensure that the
equipment is secured prior to and during lifting
and transport. Stand clear of the all equipment
while being maneuvered. Crane and fork truck
operators should be properly trained in there
operation.

Inlet and Return Oil Piping Connections
The oil inlet and outlet connection sizes are 1” FNPT. The user suction and discharge line sizes (either
schedule 40 (min) pipe or smooth I.D. hose) should be ¾” I.D. minimum and 2” I.D. maximum to ensure
that no flow restrictions will occur due to line lengths, high viscosity, etc. When processing high viscosity
oils, the larger sizes of pipe or hose should be used. If tubing is used, increase the diameter by at least
one size. All connections should be tight and free of air leaks.
If a flooded suction to the ThermoJet Oil Purifier is not practical, ensure that the suction height from the
reservoir drain to the inlet connection of the ThermoJetis no more than 8 feet (2.4 meters) above the
minimum oil level in the reservoir.
If the suction lift exceeds 8 feet (2.4 meters), install a foot-valve or foot-pump to ensure that the suction
pump will prime and hold prime during long-term service.
Ensure that the oil return connection is above the oil level in the reservoir to prevent back flow and flooding
of the separation tank when the ThermoJetis not operating. Return oil must be introduced into the
reservoir above the oil level to prevent siphoning when the ThermoJetis not operating.
NOTICE:
Even very small air leaks can dramatically affect pump suction
performance.

To prevent the potential risk of static electricity ensure that free falling oil does not exceed 6 inches (150
mm). If the oil return level exceeds 6 inches (150 mm), insert a guide baffle to smooth out flow to the oil
surface in the reservoir.
Even if the ThermoJetis to be installed temporarily, it should be hard-piped for safety reasons. Hoses
are acceptable if they are certified not to collapse under vacuum conditions and are rated for 600 PSIG (42
bar) at 200o F (100oC).
Since all wetted parts of the ThermoJetare constructed of type 300 stainless steel, it is recommended
(but not mandatory) that connecting hard pipe work is also stainless steel. In accordance with good piping
practice, the use of joints, bends, and unnecessary long pipe runs should be minimized. Elevated sections
of suction piping in horizontal runs also must be avoided to prevent air pockets from existing.
Connect the suction line to the reservoir low point drain, or to existing purifier connections if the reservoir is
constructed in accordance with API 614.
When a flooded suction is provided to the ThermoJet Oil Purifier, recommended practice is to install a
manual shut-off valve (if one does not already exist) directly onto the reservoir connection routed to the
ThermoJetinlet connection.
If the oil reservoir is located below the ThermoJetoil inlet connection, a manual shut-off valve is not
required or desirable since it creates a line restriction unnecessarily.
The discharge line should be connected above the oil surface and at the opposite end of the reservoir
versus the suction connection to ensure optimum circulation of oil through the ThermoJet. An oil purifier
return connection will exist if the reservoir is constructed in accordance with API 614.
Choose a central convenient location, allowing enough room to connect oil supply and return piping and
electrical services. Ensure that unrestricted operator access is maintained at the front of the unit when the
cabinet door is open for system operation and ease of access to the electrical control enclosure.
The ThermoJet Oil Purifier has maintenance access doors on the front of the cabinet. Ensure that
unrestricted access is provided for system troubleshooting and maintenance.
NOTICE:
Ensure that the supply connection to the ThermoJet Oil Purifier is not
adjacent to or near any oil return connection in the oil reservoir being
services. This could result in oil frothing.
NOTICE:
Do not install any valves or other restrictive devices in the discharge
line which could cause back flow and flooding of the unit..
