Lube oil filter - with diversion chamber - Alfa Laval - #1

Text version of the page

The automatic filters, T150D, T280D and X280D, are designed specifically for full-flow filtering of lubricating oils for trunk piston and crosshead engines. Unique features • Robust disc-type filter elements. • Continuous backflushing. • Filtered oil drives the backflushing process. • Constant pressure drop across the filter. • Compact and lightweight. • Cleaning of backflushed oil by refiltration in the diversion chamber before return to the engine sump. • Removal of particles collected from the system at the filter. Key benefits • Robust design reduces risk of filter element cracking. • Continuous backflushing significantly prevents 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. • Robust filter elements and continuous backflushing ensure safe protection of the diesel engine, with normally more than 12,000 operating hours between cleaning and inspection of the filters. • Use of filtered oil for backflushing process eliminates the need for external power supply and compressed air. • Constant pressure drop across the filter, combined with the pressure drop indicator, facilitates detection of malfunctions in the lubricating oil system. • Easy to install and to retrofit as an upgrade to existing installations. • No need for a sludge treatment unit (consumable item or manual cleaning system). The diversion chamber collects the particles backflushed from the full-flow chamber and clean itself to concentrate sludge, acting as an automatic and maintenance-free sludge treatment system.
