The damaging effects of particulate contamination have been well documented with regards to premature component wear and failure. One way to ensure optimal system cleanliness is to perform periodic flushing. By circulating hot oilor a flushing fluid through the piping of a system at a very high flow rate, turbulent flow can be achieved, which dislodges particles that would otherwise cling to the wallsduring laminar flow. These particles are then removed from the piping as the fluid is circulated through a series of high-efficiency filter elements.
