Is the DMB-013 right for your turbine or generator?
Our applications engineers can size the DMB-013 against your turbine HP rating and oil reservoir volume — and compare it against the DMB-007 and DMB-019 for best fit.
Key Applications
Mid-Range Turbine Lube Oil
Turbine generators in the 3,000–7,000 HP range with lube oil reservoirs of 1,000–5,000 gallons. The DMB-013 handles bypass purification at 7–12 GPM on turbine oil, removing water and particulates continuously to protect bearings and maintain oil cleanliness.
Lube Oil Centrifuge Details →Mid-Size Generator Diesel Polishing
Standby generators and prime power units with larger fuel tanks requiring continuous polishing at 13–16 GPM. The DMB-013 maintains fuel quality and removes water contamination from diesel and gas oil storage systems at facilities where the DMB-007's 7 GPM is insufficient.
Industrial Hydraulic Systems
Large hydraulic systems on heavy presses, injection molding machines, and industrial equipment with oil reservoirs above 2,000 gallons. The DMB-013 handles bypass purification at 7 GPM on hydraulic oil, maintaining cleanliness and removing water ingress continuously.
Hydraulic Oil Centrifuge Details →Quench & Heat Treatment Oil
Heat treatment and hardening quench oil accumulates scale, carbon, and water over time. The DMB-013 clarifies quench oil at 10–13 GPM, extending bath life and maintaining consistent quench characteristics for heat treaters and foundries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the throughput of the DMB-013?
The DMB-013 processes ~13 GPM of diesel, ~16 GPM of gas oil at 40°C, ~7 GPM of lube oil (R&O), and ~12 GPM of steam turbine oil. Rated at 19 GPM on water-viscosity fluid.
When should I choose the DMB-013 over DMB-007 or DMB-019?
Choose the DMB-013 when throughput is 10–15 GPM diesel — between the DMB-007 (7 GPM) and DMB-019 (19 GPM). For turbine lube oil, the DMB-013 suits 3,000–7,000 HP turbine systems at 7 GPM R&O throughput.
What applications is the DMB-013 best suited for?
Mid-range turbine lube oil (3,000–7,000 HP), diesel polishing on mid-size generators, industrial hydraulic oil maintenance, and quench oil clarification at 10–15 GPM where self-cleaning operation is not required.
What power supply does the DMB-013 require?
The DMB-013 uses 460V / 3-phase / 60 Hz as standard. Other voltages and frequencies are available for international installations. Contact Dolphin Centrifuge to confirm the right electrical configuration for your facility.
Can the DMB-013 replace multiple DMB-007 units?
Yes. A single DMB-013 (13 GPM diesel) can often replace two DMB-007 units (7 GPM each), with lower capital cost, simpler maintenance, and a smaller footprint. When you need more throughput still, the DMPX-028 self-cleaning model at 20–26 GPM is the next step up with full automation. Contact us for a specific comparison.
