2.1 Gear pump

The gear pump feeds feed oil to the purifier. Mounted on the horizontal shaft of the purifier via a safety
joint, it is driven by the motor for the purifier.
The gear pump can be selected to match a particular treating capacity.
Instead of the gear pump, a separate pump may be used.
2.2 Oil heater
Installed midway between the gear pump and oil purifier, the oil heater warms feed oil fed by the gear
pump to an optimum treating temperature. The heater is classified into steam and electrical types. The
steam type is provided with a temperature control valve and the electrical type with a thermostat to
control the temperature.
Before oil is treated by the oil purifier, it must be heated up to a certain temperature according to the
particular oil viscosity and nature.
2.3 3-way cylinder valve
The 3-way cylinder valve is a pneumatically operated selector valve and feeds feed oil to the purifier.
When starting, stopped or discharging sludge, it is changed to return the oil via the bypass piping to the
tank.
2.4 Multi- Monitor (MM)
The Multi-Monitor forms an integrated detection system with a Leakage Monitor, a Discharge Detector
and a Water Detector. It has displays to indicate the operational status data of SJ-G series
SELFJECTOR such as flow rate, temperature, pressure and speed. This instrument contains a serial
board (RS485) that enables communication with the control panel.
2.4.1 Leakage Monitor Function (LM)
The Leakage Monitor detects a leakage of treated oil from the bowl's sludge outlet or heavy liquid
output by means of a pressure sensor and delivers an alarm signal to the automatic control panel via
the Multi-Monitor. The pressure sensor is located on the light liquid outlet-side bracket of the
SELFJECTOR and normally maintained under a certain level of pressure by means of a pressure
control valve. When a leakage occurs, an ensuing pressure drop is detected by the pressure sensor
and an alarm signal is sent to the automatic control panel.
2.4.2 Discharge Detector Function (DD)
The Discharge Detector monitors the horizontal shaft speed by means of a proximity sensor and
determines whether or not sludge discharge has properly taken place by means of an input data
comparison circuit. When abnormal discharge is detected, an alarm signal is issued to the automatic
control panel via the Multi-Monitor. In addition to this alarm output function, the Discharge Detector of
the partial discharge type purifier has a display function to tell whether or not the sludge discharge is
optimal for partial discharge adjustment.

SELFJECTOR Instruction Manual

2-2

Operation Manual1

2.4.3 Water Detector Function (WD)

The Water Detector is available in a pressure type. The pressure type is designed to monitor the
level of water accumulated in the bowl by means of a pressure sensor provided in the circulation line
that returns some of purified oil to the feed liquid inlet.
This way of water detection is called "G-HIDENS system".
When the water content of purified oil exceeds an alarm trigger level, the Water Detector issues
an output signal to the automatic control panel for sludge discharge via the Multi-Monitor.

2.5 Starter
The purifier is started by the starter. It is stopped by a signal from the control panel when an automatic
stop alarm has been generated.
2.6 Control panel
The control panel automatically controls the cycle of purifying the feed liquid by purifier and discharging
the sludge. Upon receipt of output signals from various detectors via the Multi-Monitor, the control
panel stops the oil feed, then the purifier after sludge is discharged.
2.7 Alarm panel
The alarm panel changes over the 3-way cylinder valve through switching.
output signal is received during running, the feeding is stopped.

3 STRUCTURE of SELFJRCTOR
3.1 General
Fig. 3-1 outlines the structure of SELFJECTOR.
The power is transmitted from the motor through the
friction clutch to the horizontal shaft and is further
increased in speed and transmitted to the vertical shaft
through the spiral gear mounted on the horizontal shaft
and pinion on the vertical shaft.
The vertical shaft is supported by upper and lower
bearings.
The bowl mounted on the top of the vertical shaft rotates at
the speed of the vertical shaft.
To supply feed liquid to SELFJECTOR, the suction pump
(gear pump) is connected to the horizontal shaft through
the safety joint. To deliver light liquid, the centripetal
pump (impeller) is built in the top of bowl.
In addition, heavy liquid is forced out by a similar
centripetal pump.

3.2 Drive unit

3.2.1 Vertical shaft section
The revolution speed of the horizontal shaft is increased by
the vertical shaft pinion gear and the vertical shaft rotates the
bowl mounted on its top. The vertical shaft and bowl are
supported by upper springs and leaf springs radially
incorporated at 6 points on the upper bearing section and
lower springs in the lower bearing section so that they can
stably rotate.

3.2.4 Friction clutch

A friction clutch is used for gentle starting and acceleration, thereby
preventing the motor from being overloaded.
The motor shaft has a friction boss provided with a friction clutch and
the horizontal shaft has a friction pulley. After starting, the motor
instantly turns at critical speed, the friction clutch lining is pressed
against the internal surface of the friction pulley via centrifugal force and
the power is transmitted to the friction pulley (horizontal shaft side) as
the friction pulley and lining slip with each other.
Normally, the bowl of small-size SELFJECTOR (SJ10G - SJ30G)
reaches its rated speed of rotation in less than 5 minutes, and
middle-size SELFJECTOR (SJ50G - SJ70G) and large-size
SELFJECTOR(SJ100G - SJ150G) in less than 10 minutes.

3.3 Bowl
3.3.1 Structure of bowl
The bowl vessel mainly consists of body, hood and nut. The bowl incorporates separation chamber
composed of disc (1) and top disc and distributor, which distributes feed liquid from the bowl inlet to the
separation chamber uniformly.
There is a main cylinder, which slides vertically by water pressure to discharge sludge separated and
accumulated on the inner wall of bowl during operation.
At 2 points on the outer periphery of bowl, there are pilot valve assemblies for controlling the main
cylinder slide.
When feed liquid introduced through the feed liquid inlet through the distributor to the separation
chamber passes through the gap between discs (1), solids and water are separated and purified oil is
continually delivered outside by the centripetal pump (light liquid impeller) located on the top of bowl.
Separated water is continuously discharged outside through the heavy liquid impeller.
Gravity disc
For purifier operation, the interface for separating light liquid and heavy liquid in the bowl must be held
to within a certain range. On SELFJECTOR, gravity discs with different inner diameters are used
according to the gravity of oil to be treated, thereby changing the interface position.
Select an optimum gravity disc according to "Gravity disc selecting procedure" in Operation manual 2.
For the HIDENS specification, being for clarifier operation, requires no change of gravity discs.

Discharge mechanism

Total discharge is as follows.

Main seal ring

Main cylinder

Valve sheet
Pilot valve
Water pressure chamber
for closing bowl

Purifying operation process

A centrifugal force acting on the pilot valve seals the
valve seat and the water pressure chamber for closing
bowl is filled with operating water. The operating water
pressure pushes up the main cylinder to seal the main
seal ring for purifying operation.
Operating water for closing bowl is intermittently
introduced into the bowl closing water pressure chamber
for a given period of time during purifier operation. In the
water pressure chamber, the centrifugally generated
pressure of water that turns with the bowl is balanced with
the supplied water pressure told the water surface at a
certain level.

Fig. 3-7

Opening bowl process

Operating water for opening bowl is fed for a certain time to
the water pressure chamber for opening bowl. It partly
goes out through the drain nozzle. More operating water
for opening bowl is supplied and fills up the water pressure
chamber for opening bowl. As its pressure slides the pilot
valve toward the shaft center, the seal of valve seat breaks
and operating water for closing bowl flows out from the
bowl.

Sludge discharging process

When operating water for closing bowl goes out, there is
no more force of pushing up the main cylinder that, then,
is pushed down by the pressure in the bowl. The seal of
main seal ring breaks and sludge is instantly discharged
outside the bowl.

Operating water for

opening bowl

Fig. 3-9

Closing bowl process

After the sludge discharge, operating water for closing
bowl is fed to the water pressure chamber for closing
bowl and, when it is filled up, the main cylinder is pushed
up to seal the main seal ring.

Operating water for

closing bowl

Fig. 3-10

NOTE
In the HIDENS system specification, partial discharge is effected to let out water accumulated in
the bowl, which is basically the same as the total discharge mode, except that the main cylinder
opening duration is shorter.

SELFJECTOR Instruction Manual

3-5

Operation Manual1

3.4 Water supplying device

The water supplying device is provided under the bowl to supply operating water for controlling the
discharge of sludge from the bowl to each water pressure chamber (for opening bowl, for closing bowl).
Operating water for opening bowl is fed from section A in
Fig. 3-11 and enters the water pressure chamber for opening bowl.
Operating water for closing bowl is fed from section B and enters the water pressure chamber for
closing bowl.
Operating water for closing bowl is intermittently fed for a certain time during the purifying running.
Because operating water in the water pressure chamber for closing bowl rotates together with the bowl,
the pressure generated its centrifugal force and the pressure of operating water for closing bowl balance
and the water level stabilizes at a certain position.
NOTE
Operating water for closing bowl : Water for pushing up the main cylinder and closing
the sludge outlet.
Operating water for opening bowl : Water for lowering the main cylinder and
discharging sludge.

gravity.
Irrespective of gravity, the G-HIDENS series machines accept oils for treatment without adjustment
with the gravity disc.
The G-HIDENS series machines require no water sealing.
In the setup for clarifier operation, there is no heavy liquid outlet for letting separated water out of
the machine so that separated water cannot be continuously discharged.

The G-HIDENS system is designed to detect the accumulation of separated water at a predetermined
level by means of a presser sensor installed in the circulation line and discharge it out of the bowl. It
combines the feature of the clarifier which is leakage-free operation and that of the purifier which is the
capability of water separation.
Fig. 3-14 shows the cross sectional view of the bowl of a typical G-HIDENS system SELFJECTOR
(SJ-GH series) in clarifier operation.
Feed liquid is introduced from the feed liquid inlet into the separation zone by way of the distributor.
While separated heavy liquid (water) and solids go to the outer periphery in the bowl, light liquid moves
inside through between the discs and is discharged by means of the light liquid impeller. Some of light
liquid passes outside the top disc and is returned to the feed liquid port via circulation line by means of
the heavy liquid impeller. To make this take place, pressure (0.1 MPa) is built in the circulation line
through back pressure valve. Upon arrival of accumulated water in the bowl at the top disc outside level,
the circulation of light liquid is stopped with an ensuing drop in circulation line pressure. This pressure
drop (the sign of maximum water accumulation in the bowl) is detected by a pressure sensor, a sensor
output is transmitted to the Multi-Monitor and accumulated water is released from the bowl as a result.
While water is normally discharged in the partial discharge mode, total discharge with sludge can take
place, depending on the time spent for water detection.

3.7 Parallel operation and series operation

So long as the feed rate is within the actual capacity, 1 stage of purification suffices basically.
When, however, treating oil for which catalyst mixture, excessive sludge, etc. are expected, raising the
purifying effect is required utilizing spare machine(s).
In this case, the purifiers are subjected to either:
Parallel (parallel purifying) operation
Series (series purifying) operation.
When operating several machines as shown above, the parallel operation is preferable to, for its better
separating effect than, the series operation.

3.7.1

Parallel operation

For parallel operation, 2 or more SELFJECTORs are arranged in parallel.

Fig. 3-15 exemplifies piping for parallel operation.
NOTE
In the case of parallel operation with two units of SELFJECTOR, the two machines share oil feed
to the whole system half and half between them. Select the sizes of piping, with flow velocity
and pipe resistance taken into account, so that pipes one size larger in bore diameter are used
upstream of the inlet line branching point and downstream of the return and outlet line meeting
point, for example.

Series operation

CAUTION

In case of a series operation by 2 SELFJECTORs, detach the gear pump furnished with the
latter stage SELFJECTOR from the safety joint because it is not used.
Do not use the oil heater for the latter stage.
For a series operation, the former stage is for purifier operation and the latter stage is for clarifier
operation usually.
In case of a series operation by 2 machines, a general practice is purifier operation for the former
stage and clarifier operation for the latter stage.
The feed rate must be the same as for a single operation.
Fig. 3-16 exemplifies piping for a series operation.

NOTE
In the series operation, when the first-stage SELFJECTOR enters into the discharge process, oil
feed to the second-stage SELFJECTOR does not take place (as is the case with stop by an alarm
signal) in the meantime. The second-stage SELFJECTOR, therefore, requires an interlock
system to prevent the Multi-Monitor from issuing a false Leak Monitor output signal. (For general
description and working principle of the Leak Monitor, refer to Section 5.2.)

5.2 Leakage Monitor Function (LM)

5.2.1 General
The Leakage Monitor Function of the Multi-Monitor is a protective
device that detects:
Leakage of treated oil to feed liquid outlet
Leakage of treated oil from bowl's sludge outlet because bowl is
not properly closed
attributable to any reason and notifies it to SELFJECTOR control
panel via the Multi-Monitor to minimize the loss of treated oil.
5.2.2 Operating principle
The pressure sensor installed on the light liquid outlet connecting
piping of SELFJECTOR monitors the pressure at all times and if, for
any reason, the pressure has dropped when the flow has decreased
from a normal rate, deems treated oil is out-flowed and outputs an
error signal. Use of a precision pressure sensor allows to detect a
Fig. 5-6
large leakage flowing to the heavy liquid side as well as a slight
leakage due to poor bowl opening.
In the normal running, pressure control valve that is arranged on the treated oil outlet piping adjusted so
as to apply a certain pressure. If, on account of accidental leakage of purifier, the pressure has dropped
below an alarm trigger or lower limit level, an alarm is outputted.

Fig. 5-7
NOTE1
To prevent a false alarm, when actual back pressure, light liquid outlet pressure, falls below the alarm
trigger or lower limit level, the Leakage Monitor will not issue a "Leakage" signal until after a certain period
of time. The alarm trigger pressure is averaged by the CPU in the Multi-Monitor to follow with actual back
pressure that is fluctuated by pressure pulsation at the light liquid outlet.
SELFJECTOR Instruction Manual

5-6

Operation Manual1

Delay Timer
After starting the feed, the light liquid pressure rises gradually. To prevent an alarm from being delivered
during the period where the pressure achieve set pressure, a delay timer is provided.
Hold Timer
As soon as the pressure has dropped below the alarm pressure while feeding, the timer for feeding starts
counting and, if the time is up, delivers an alarm. If the preset pressure level is recovered while counting, the
timer resets itself.
NOTE

Be sure to adjust and set the light liquid side delivery pressure.
Standard value : 0.15 MPa {1.5 kgf/cm2}
Since its operating principle is such that this instrument needs a steady pressure independent of
the piping pressure loss downstream from SELFJECTOR for proper detection, adjust the pressure
control valve to maintain the instrument under a necessary level of back pressure during the
operation.
When a light liquid delivery pressure beyond the standard level is required, refer to "Leakage
Monitor (LM) " in the Operation Manual 2.

5.2.3 Connecting with control panel

To avoid erratic alarms, "feeding" signal is inputted from the automatic control panel or alarm panel so that no
alarm could be outputted unless when "feeding".
NOTE
For a manual type, the feeding signal contact is normally closed to simulate feeding. To avoid a
false alarm during sludge discharge, therefore, turn off the "MM Function Switch" on the starter
panel before sludge discharge, then turn it on again after feeding is started.

Specifically, the Leakage LED is lit when:
Pressure fails to reach a constant level before the delay timer is up.
Pressure falls below the alarm trigger or lower limit level and fails to return to a constant level before the
hold timer is up.
For self-diagnosis, in the case of an abnormality with the light liquid sensor described below, the "Light Liquid
Sensor Abnormal" LED (red) in the Multi-Monitor is illuminated, with "Error" and the corresponding error
identification number displayed in the upper and lower seven segment displays, respectively, and an alarm is
issued to the control panel at the same time. The oil purifier is stopped as a result after sludge is discharged.
An extraordinarily high voltage (equivalent to 0.45 MPa {4.5 kgf/cm2}) is detected at the pressure sensor.

5.3 Discharge Detector Function (DD)

5.3.1 General
The Discharge Detector Function (DD) of the
Multi-Monitor is a protective device that monitors sludge
discharge from the SELFJECTOR and sends an alarm
signal to the automatic control panel when it detects an
abnormal discharge.
5.3.2 Operating principle (Alarm function)
The Discharge Detect relies on the rotation speed
change of the horizontal shaft to do the action; when the
rotation speed falls to a preset level due to sudden loss
of energy by sludge discharge, the Discharge Detector
detects it by means of a proximity switch installed on the
horizontal shaft to determine that sludge discharge has
taken place.
Also, the Multi-Monitor tells that the purifier is in
operation for safety and precaution through the rotation
display LED (green).
In addition, as a self-diagnosis function, the trouble
display LED (red), also on top of the Multi-Monitor, is lit
to indicate a troubled purifier when the detector output is
equivalent to 2500 rpm or more or when rotation pulses
skip.
5.3.3

Fig. 5-12

Connecting with control panel

To prevent a false alarm, the Multi-Monitor is fed with "discharging" signal from the automatic control panel

5.4 Water Detector Function (WD)

5.4.1 General
The Water Detector Function (WD) of the Multi-Monitor is a device to prevent separated water from leaking
into light liquid (purified oil).

Photo 5-1 Pressure sensor type water detection system

( G-HIDENS system )

5.4.2 Pressure sensor type water detector (GSH-1/MM-3)

5.4.2.1 Operating principle
The Water Detection system provided with a pressure sensor, which is called G-HIDENS system, is controlled
on the automatic control panel (GSH-1) via the Multi-Monitor (MM-3).
The G-HIDENS system constantly monitors separated water being accumulated in the bowl by means of a
pressure sensor installed in the circulation line and causes separated water to be discharged before it leaks
into light liquid (purified oil).
In the clarifier operation, some of light liquid (purified oil) is returned to the feed liquid inlet via circulation line.
The circulation line, which is provided with a back pressure valve, pressure sensor and pressure gauge, is
maintained under a required level of back pressure by means of the back pressure valve, with the shut-off
valve in the heavy liquid outlet line fully closed.
Upon arrival of separated water in the bowl at the top disc outside level, the circulation of light liquid is stopped
with an instantaneous drop in circulation line pressure. Detecting this pressure change, the pressure sensor
sends a signal to the control panel via the Multi-Monitor to tell that the predetermined quantity of separated
water has been accumulated in the bowl and separated water is discharged, normally in the partial discharge
mode. In some cases, total charge with sludge takes place, depending on time spent before detection of
pressure drop.

Detection" LED (red) above internal boards in the Multi-Monitor are illuminated. At the same time, a signal is
delivered to the control panel and the oil purifier is stopped after sludge discharge.
Also, for self-diagnosis, when an extraordinarily high voltage (equivalent to 0.45MPa {4.5 kgf/cm2}) is detected
at the pressure sensor, the "Water Sensor Abnormal" output LED (red) in the Multi-Monitor is illuminated, with
"Error" and the corresponding error identification number indicated in the upper and lower seven segment

To prevent a false alarm due to pressure fluctuation or pulsation at the start of oil feed or during
normal running, the Delay Timer and Hold Timer are provided. Either timer is actuated when
pressure falls below the preset level during running. If pressure fails to return to normal after the
timer is up, the detector recognizes it as a "Water Detected" status and sends an alarm signal to the
control panel.

NOTE
When the self-diagnosis function is actuated, the Multi-Monitor holds "Error" and the error
identification number in display, which cannot be cleared until power is turned off. After the cause
is identified and eliminated, reset by turning power off, then on.

5.4.2.4 Routine running

For clarifier operation that needs the Water Detector Function, select "Water Detector Function" on the Water
Detector Function selector dial in the Multi-Monitor. (See Fig. 5-19) For purifier operation that needs no Water
Detector Function, select "No Water / Heavy liquid Detector Function" on the same dial.

(For optional use)

With the Water Detection output switch (See Fig. 5-19) in the ON position, the Water Detector monitors
water being accumulated in the bowl. When it detects the arrival of water at predetermined level, it sends
an output signal to the control panel and causing water to be discharged.
Normally, clarifier operation is performed with the Water Detection output switch placed in the ON
position.

5.5 Partial discharge detection function (GSH-1)

The automatic GSH-1 system combined with Multi-Monitor MM-3 has a Partial Discharge Detection Function
that, in addition to sludge discharge monitoring, indicates whether or not sludge discharge is optimal for partial
discharge adjustment.
5.5.1 Operating principle
When the Partial Discharge Detection Function of the Multi-Monitor monitoring the horizontal shaft rotation
speed of the SELFJECTOR detects a rotation speed drop (peak hold) during sludge discharge, it compares
the data with the optimal discharge value preset for each SJ-G model to determine if the quantity of discharge
effected is optimal. And the Multi-monitor indicates the result of comparison through confirmation LEDs
(Over, Just, Under) for partial discharge. (See Fig. 5-22)

5.5.2 Items to adjust

5.5.2.1 50Hz / 60Hz selector switch
Remove the front cover of the Multi-Monitor and set the switch (See Fig.5-22) to the power frequency of the
SELFJECTOR (50 Hz or 60 Hz).

NOTE
The switch in wrong position prevents the Partial Discharge Detector from measuring the quantity
of sludge being discharged accurately. Be sure that the switch in the right position before discharge
measurement.
5.5.2.2

Measure of the amount of discharge

There are two purposes for which sludge discharge measurement is performed.

1. Monitoring during normal running

Set the partial ON/OFF switch (See Fig. 5-22) to ON. The detector becomes ready to constantly monitor
partial discharge for "No-Discharge" status. Normally, the SELFJECTOR is run with this switch in the ON
position.
2. Partial discharge adjustment / confirmation
Set the partial ON/OFF switch to OFF, then press the discharge measurement switch (See Fig. 5-22).
Measurement is immediately effected - only once.

5.6 Display Function

5.6.1 General
The Multi-Monitor is provided with two 4-digit seven segment displays (upper and lower) that indicate
SELFJECTOR sensor output data (flow rate, temperature, pressure, rotation number, etc.) and error. Settings
can be altered by use of four function setting switches (SW1 - 4) and altered data are stored in the internal
memory of the Multi-Monitor.

Fig. 5-23

5.6.2

Configuration of display

In normal operation, the flow rate is incrementally indicated in the upper seven segment display at every 5
seconds. In the lower display, the feed liquid temperature and light liquid pressure are indicated in the
same way.
Using the function setting switches (SW1 - 4), the feed liquid temperature, light liquid pressure and speed
(MM-2 and MM3 only), and circulation line pressure (MM-3 only) can be fixedly indicated in the lower
seven segment display.
In the case of an error, "Error" and the corresponding error identification number appear in the upper and
lower seven segment displays, respectively. (See Table 5-3.)
At the time of setting change, the setting number and set value are indicated in the upper and lower seven
segment displays, respectively.
