Is the DMB-013 right for your turbine or generator?
Our applications engineers can size the DMB-013 against your turbine HP rating and oil reservoir volume - and compare it against the DMB-007 and DMB-019 for best fit.
Key Applications
Mid-Range Turbine Lube Oil
Turbine generators in the 3,000–7,000 HP range with lube oil reservoirs of 1,000–5,000 gallons. Published MAB 204 throughput is 1,300–1,500 L/h (5.72–6.60 US GPM, derived) on R&O lube oil at 80–90°C and 2,800 L/h (12.33 US GPM, derived) on steam turbine oil at 60–70°C.
Lube Oil Centrifuge Details →Mid-Size Generator Diesel Polishing
Standby generators and prime power units with larger fuel tanks requiring continuous polishing. Published throughput is 2,900 L/h (12.77 US GPM, derived) on diesel at 40°C and 13 cSt and 3,600 L/h (15.85 US GPM, derived) on gas oil at 40°C, above the DMB-007 under the same conditions.
Industrial Hydraulic Systems
Large hydraulic systems on heavy presses, injection molding machines, and industrial equipment with oil reservoirs above 2,000 gallons. Hydraulic-oil throughput is application-specific and must be confirmed from viscosity, temperature, and separation duty.
Hydraulic Oil Centrifuge Details →Quench & Heat Treatment Oil
Heat treatment and hardening quench oil accumulates scale, carbon, and water over time. The DMB-013 clarifies quench oil, extending bath life and maintaining consistent quench characteristics for heat treaters and foundries. Quench-oil throughput is application-specific.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the throughput of the DMB-013?
Published MAB 204 capacities are 2,900 L/h diesel at 40°C and 13 cSt (12.77 US GPM, derived), 3,600 L/h gas oil at 40°C (15.85 US GPM, derived), 1,300–1,500 L/h R&O lube oil at 80–90°C (5.72–6.60 US GPM, derived), and 2,800 L/h steam turbine oil at 60–70°C (12.33 US GPM, derived). The 4,300 L/h (18.93 US GPM, derived) rated reference has no source fluid specified.
When should I choose the DMB-013 over DMB-007 or DMB-019?
At the same published diesel condition of 40°C and 13 cSt, the DMB-013 base machine is rated at 2,900 L/h (12.77 US GPM, derived), between the DMB-007 at 1,500 L/h (6.60 US GPM, derived) and DMB-019 at 4,400 L/h (19.37 US GPM, derived). Its published R&O range at 80–90°C is 1,300–1,500 L/h (5.72–6.60 US GPM, derived).
What applications is the DMB-013 best suited for?
Mid-range turbine lube oil (3,000–7,000 HP), diesel polishing on mid-size generators, industrial hydraulic oil maintenance, and quench oil clarification where self-cleaning operation is not required. Hydraulic- and quench-oil throughput is application-specific.
What power supply does the DMB-013 require?
The DMB-013 uses 460V / 3-phase / 60 Hz as standard. Other voltages and frequencies are available for international installations. Contact Dolphin Centrifuge to confirm the right electrical configuration for your facility.
Can the DMB-013 replace multiple DMB-007 units?
At the published diesel condition of 40°C and 13 cSt, one DMB-013 is rated at 2,900 L/h (12.77 US GPM, derived), while each DMB-007 is rated at 1,500 L/h (6.60 US GPM, derived). A single DMB-013 can often replace two DMB-007 units with simpler maintenance and a smaller footprint. The DMPX-028 is a self-cleaning commercial class whose capacity depends on its exact Alfa Laval base machine. Contact us for a specific comparison.
