There are two most common filter elements on the oil filter: one is the filter element for filtering impurities, and the other is the water separation filter element for separating water and breaking emulsion.

Filter elements for filtering impurities are generally widely found in various oil filters. Their function is to intercept mechanical impurities and metal particles in the oil. These filter elements are mostly stainless steel mesh filter elements, and some fine filter elements are made of polymer glass. Fiber filter and paper filter. The water-separating filter element is made of a special oil-absorbing hydrophobic cotton aggregate material. This type of filter element generally exists on the vacuum dehydration oil filter. The filter element is not dirty. The reference condition for replacement is the filter element Saturated, the water separation effect is not obvious.

Here we mainly talk about the stainless steel mat-shaped filter element for filtering impurities, which is mostly a threaded interface. When the filter element is folded, the filter element can be removed by rotation. Use the same type of clean oil (or gasoline) for cleaning. You can use a soft capillary brush to clean the surface of the filter element (the surface of the filter element can be peeled off and cleaned). After completion, it is recommended to use an air compressor to align the thread of the filter element. Blow in and out (this helps the filter element to be cleaned).

Tips: If you are not going to use the device for a long time, it is recommended to keep the residual oil in the filter cartridge clean (especially in the cold season). Do not let the filter element be immersed in the oil for too long, this can effectively extend the service life of the filter element .

When it is necessary to filter higher viscosity oil products, the residual oil in the oil cylinder also needs to be drained off after each operation. Because the higher viscosity oil on the filter element will be attached to the surface of the filter element once it cools. When it is used again, it is highly likely that due to the high accuracy of the filter element, if the oil is not enough, high pressure will be generated instantly, resulting in damage to the filter element. When the filter element is cleaned, restore all components and check that the screw connection is secure.

The higher the accuracy of the filter element, the less easy it is to clean it thoroughly. Generally speaking, more than 40 micron filter elements can be cleaned repeatedly. On the contrary, 1-20 micron filter elements have higher accuracy and are not easy to clean, so the higher the accuracy, the more frequent the replacement frequency. Therefore, when choosing oil filter, users and friends do not need to choose high precision blindly, but choose according to their actual use, effectively taking into account the comprehensive value of cost performance.
