Polishers are designed to remove water and solids from LO using which components?

The use of absorbent canisters and filters in polishers is specifically designed to optimize the removal of water and solids from lubricating oil (LO). Absorbent canisters typically contain materials that can draw in water molecules and certain solid contaminants, thereby improving the cleanliness and integrity of the lubricating oil. Filters help to physically capture larger particulates and impurities that may be suspended in the oil. This combination of absorbent materials and filtration is effective in ensuring that the lubricating oil maintains its properties and function, which is crucial for machinery performance.

In this context, while other options may involve separation or treatment processes, they do not have the same targeted action for both water and solid removal from lubricating oil as the combination of absorbent canisters and filters does. For instance, coalescing filters are aimed primarily at separating water from oil but may not handle solid contaminants as effectively as the absorbents and filters. Separators and centrifuges are better suited for the separation of different density fluids rather than handling the solid particulates embedded within the oil. Heat exchangers and scrubbers focus on different aspects of fluid management and conditioning, such as temperature control or gas stream purification, rather than the specific need to remove both water and solids from lubricating
