Lube oil filter T-160 Lube oil filter – T-160 range Continuously automatic backflushing lube oil filter Application The automatic filter T-160 is designed specifically for full-flow filtration of lubricating oil used in engines that burn all types of fuels (distillate, Gas, DO, bio-fuels and HFO). The T-160 is intended for protection of: – the main lubrication system on small and medium speed engines – servo or control oil systems on 2-stroke engines – turbocharger lubrication systems The T-160 requires minimal investment and yet delivers: – highly reliable operation at minimal running costs – true peace of mind Unique features • Robust disc-type filter elements • Constant pressure drop across the filter • Filtered oil drives the backflushing process • Compact and simple design • Suitable for cleaning backflushed oil in a centrifuge (Eliminator). Key benefits • Simple design – with minimum components facilitates maintenance and guarantees low operating costs. • Environmentally friendly – no oil loss, extended lifetime of oil, no cartridge disposal. • Durable – Robust design. • Easy maintenance – Continuous backflushing significantly reduces adhesion of retained solids to filter surfaces, which results in: – No manual cleaning of filter elements. – Low and constant pressure drop across the filter elements, which further reduces the risk of cracking. • Easy to troubleshoot – Constant pressure drop across the filter, combined with the pressure drop indicator, facilitates the detection of a malfunction in the lube oil system. • Flexible installation: – Backflush can be connected directly to centrifuge. – Use of filtered oil for the backflushing process eliminates the need for auxiliary power (no air or electricity).

Overview The oil to be filtered is pumped from the lube oil sump through the filter and to the engine. When the oil reaches the filter it first passes through a strainer located in the inlet body. This should remove any large foreign particles, such as pieces of rags that may have been left in the system after maintenance. Once past the strainer, the oil then passes through the full-flow filter elements (where solids are trapped) and to the engine. A small part of the filtered oil (3 to 5 % of the flow to the filter) is used to backflush part of the full-flow filter elements and to drive...
