Lube System Protection Brochure - Baldwin Filter - #2

Heavy-duty protection

Improved high-performance engines and new emission standards have had a significant impact on the development of oils and oil filters. As manufacturers continue to develop more sophisticated engines, new classifications of oils will continue to be developed.

These new oils play a vital part in protecting engines by reducing friction and wear, cooling engine parts, sealing combustion chambers, cleaning engine components and inhibiting corrosion. Lube filters also play a critical role in protecting engines by removing damaging contaminants from the oil.

Lube filters trap oil contaminants in two ways:

■ Some particles adhere to the filter media as the oil flows through the filter. These particles attach themselves to the media surface without plugging the media pores.

■ Other particles are trapped in the filter media by the pressure of the oil as it flows through the filter.

Baldwin Filters has been making lube filters for over seventy years. With more than 650 lube filters for most heavy-duty and automotive applications, Baldwin has the coverage and quality you demand.

Maximum performance

Baldwin lube filters are manufactured to meet or exceed the original equipment specifications established by engine manufacturers.

The following data illustrates how Baldwin filters compare to the competition. The results of ISO 4548-12 laboratory test, performed per Cummins Engineering Standard 10765, prove Baldwin Filters' High Velocity Dual-Flow® design is superior in contaminant removal efficiency and contaminant holding capacity.

ISO 4548-12 Test: FlowRate 39.6 gpm, 100°F, Termination at 10.2 psid. Efficiency time weighted average at 10 microns.

Heavy-Duty, All-Metal Housing provides unequaled burst- and pulse-withstanding strength.

Steel Coil Spring keeps its shape, maintaining a positive load pressure on the elements.

Spiral Wound Louvered Centertube with fluted ribs allows for maximum flow and adds strength to resist pressure surges.

Patent Pending Design provides maximum contaminant holding capacity and contaminant removal efficiency, while minimizing flow restriction during operation and cold start­ups.

High Velocity Dual-Flow Nozzle uses a venturi-type cone to balance the flow between the elements, taking advantage of the positive filtering properties of each.

Heavy-Duty Steel Retainer and End Cap are welded together to prevent the post seal from dislodging.

Heavy-Duty Steel Baseplate is joined to the can with a J-lock seam, reducing the possibility of leakage due to high pressure.
