Countless times, I’ve devoted this column to stressing the virtues of contamination control. With each passing year, we seem to receive more and more user feedback detailing and validating the business case for clean, dry and cool oil. Of course it’s one thing to preach its value, but it’s quite something else to actually achieve and sustain near-contaminant-free conditions. Therefore, it is this subject that I’ll tackle with the current and a few future columns, beginning with exclusion and removal of water.
