Pressure Drops The total pressure drop is the sum of the filter body and element pressure drops. Curves provided are valid for mineral oil with a density of 860 kg/m² and kinematic viscosity of 30 cSt. Pressure drop variations are proportional to kinematic viscosity.
Differential Indicators The document includes details on differential indicators, vacuum gauges, and vacuum stats with various contact configurations.
Pressure Drops
The document discusses the calculation and implications of pressure drops (Δp) in filter systems. The total pressure drop is the sum of the pressure drops across the filter housing and the filter element at a given flow rate. Ideally, this should not exceed 0.5 bar (7.3 psi) and should never exceed one-third of the by-pass valve's set value. The pressure drop is influenced by oil viscosity, which is roughly proportional.
Clogging Indicators
Pressure drop through the filter increases during operation, and the filter element should be replaced when indicated, before reaching the by-pass valve setting. Cold start conditions may cause false alarms due to higher oil viscosity.
