New Filtration Technology for Industrial Applications
Shortened lifespan of filter elements due to excessive contamination
The service life of filter elements is directly impacted by the level of oil contamination!
Each hydraulic system needs to maintain a certain level of oil cleanliness according to the manufacturer's specifications or other recommendations, typically measured by ISO 4406:1999 standards. Failure to adhere to these standards can shorten the lifespan of filter elements, leading to potential system failures.
However, by selecting the right medium and maintaining an appropriate cleanliness level, the service life of filter elements can be effectively extended!
For example, the radial piston pump mentioned earlier must use hydraulic oil with a purity level of 20/18/15. But by increasing this purity level by 3-4 atomic numbers (17/15/12), the lifespan of the filter elements could potentially double.
In addition to maintaining proper oil cleanliness, installing an offline filtration system is also an effective method to prolong the service life of hydraulic filter elements. An offline filtration system can efficiently remove impurities and contaminants from the oil, further extending the lifespan of filter elements and improving the overall reliability of the hydraulic system.
Therefore, maintaining proper oil cleanliness and installing an offline filtration system are key measures to extend the service life of hydraulic filter elements. This can reduce the probability of system failures and prolong the lifespan of hydraulic systems.
