The iodine number is a value for the amount of unsaturated organic esters in grease and oil. The value is
determined by adding iodine to the grease or oil until the ability of the grease or oil to chemically bind
is stopped; essentially, the iodine number is how many grams of iodine were added per 100 grams of
substance tested. A higher iodine number defines the level of unsaturated esters in the liquid, which
could combine with other substances to produce a chemical bond. In unfavourable circumstances such
as contaminated oil, high temperature or extended drain intervals, high levels of unsaturated organic
Rev. l F20746 esters, as found in rapeseed-based oils, will react and bind with other substances, e.g. oxygen, and can

HF6b: HEES partially saturated / unsaturated

In contrast to saturated esters, partially saturated esters have Double / multiple
bonds between C atoms. Depending on their number and position, these unsaturated
bonds between the C atoms are instable. These bonds can detach themselves and
form new bonds, thus changing the properties of those liquids (an aging mechanism).

Water free Polyalkylene Glycol / Polyglycols

Mainly composed of three groups:
- PEG : PolyEthylene Glycols, have a good biodegradability but are water soluble.
- PPG : PolyPropylene Glycols, have a poor biodegradability but are not soluble in
water nor oil.
- PEPG : Polyethylene-polypropylene mixed glycols, also with a poor
biodegradability.

Minimum absolute pressure measured at inlet flange listed in catalogue should be

multiplied by a factor 1.25 or reduce the speed.
Dissolves water completely no possibility to drain off.

Do not paint or paint with epoxy base the pump and the reservoir.
Avoid any contamination, polyglycol being not mixable with mineral or vegetable

Recommendations :

 Maximum content of water 0.05 %.

Higher amount of water : drain off, or change fluid.
Risk of condensation: for any kind of Mobile machinery install a water bleed off
at the lowest point of the reservoir and drain off every 200 hours some samples
of 1 litre.

 Return or pressure line filters. [Minimum recommended  20  10]

Size 1.5 to 2 times larger than those for mineral oil base fluids.

 Oxidation during operation

Change immediately the fluid, then flush properly the circuit.
Change filters elements after 30 hours.

 Assembly
Pump is installed on the circuit during more than 6 months without operation:
manually turn shaft prior to pump starting up to make sure parts are not stuck.

 Fluid change
Change fluid from mineral oil to one of these biodegradable fluids.
Flush the circuit with one full reservoir filled of biodegradable fluid, then replace
by a brand new fluid.
Change filters elements after 30 hours of operation.
