Effects
Water: Affects Oil properties
(e.g Lubricity)
Corrosion of system components
Promotes harmful Bacterial growth
Acids: Etches away system component surfaces. |

Effects
Particles: Promotes erosion of system parts
Creates “Wear Chain” from friction
Compressible Matter: Forms Sludges |

Typical Results |
 |
Excess Heat through loss of Viscosity
Excess Bearing and Valve Component Wear
Harmful emmisions produced
Loss of Power
