Factors affecting the filtration quality of oil filter

Many factors affect the filtration results of the oil filter, mainly including equipment, operation, oil and environment. The following are the main influencing factors:

1. Filter element quality

- Filtration accuracy: The filter element accuracy determines the size of the particles that can be filtered. The higher the accuracy, the better the filtration effect.

- Material: The filter element material affects its temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

- Dirt capacity: A filter element with a large dirt capacity can accommodate more pollutants and extend the replacement cycle.

2. Oil properties

- Viscosity: Too high oil viscosity will increase the filtration resistance and affect the filtration efficiency.

- Degree of contamination: High impurities and moisture content in the oil will increase the filtration burden and affect the effect.

- Chemical properties: The chemical properties of the oil may affect the selection of filter element materials and the filtration effect.

3. Operating parameters

- Flow rate: Too large a flow rate may lead to incomplete filtration, while too small a flow rate will reduce efficiency.

- Temperature: The temperature affects the oil viscosity and filtration efficiency, and usually needs to be controlled at 40-60℃.

- Pressure: Too high pressure may damage the filter element, while too low pressure may affect the filtration speed.

4. Equipment status

- Equipment cleanliness: The cleanliness of the equipment affects the filtration effect and needs to be cleaned regularly.

- Sealing: Poor equipment sealing can lead to oil leakage and contamination.

- Filter element status: Blockage or damage to the filter element will significantly affect the filtration effect and needs to be checked and replaced regularly.

5. Environmental factors

- Ambient temperature: Too high or too low ambient temperature may affect the oil viscosity and equipment operation.

- Humidity: A high humidity environment may increase the moisture content in the oil and affect the filtration effect.

- Dust: A dusty environment may increase the risk of oil contamination.

6. Maintenance

- Regular maintenance: Regularly ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ the filter element, clean the equipment, check the sealing, etc. to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

- Recording and analysis: Record operating parameters and filtration results, and analyze data to optimize operations.

7. Oil pretreatment

- Sedimentation: Sedimentation is performed before filtration to remove large particles of impurities.

- Heating: Appropriate heating reduces oil viscosity and improves filtration efficiency.

The factors that affect the filtration results of the oil filter include filter element quality, oil properties, operating parameters, equipment status, environmental factors, maintenance and oil pretreatment. By optimizing these factors, the filtration effect can be improved and the equipment life can be extended.
