The Lube Oil Centrifugal Filter

A retrofittable cleaning system

The centrifugal lube oil filter is a by-pass filter mounted directly on

the engine or GenSet base frame – as a supplement to the main filter.

How the centrifugal oil filtering system works

The filter utilizes the centrifugal force and can thereby remove high-density, sub-micron
particles from the lube oil. The filter system consists of three major sections – the body,
the rotor and the drive chamber :

„„ The body contains the rotor and the drive chamber and facilitates easy fixing of the
whole centrifugal filter to the engine with oil drain through the bottom to the crankcase/
oil sump

„„ The dirt-removing rotor has a removable bowl to facilitate easy cleaning or replacement.
Oil from the engine enters the centrifugal filter body through the hollow spindle, where
it is evenly distributed. The rotor is accelerated to high speed. The resulting centrifugal
force throws the dirt particles on to the wall of the rotor in a compact, easy-to-remove
mass

„„ The oil sprayed through twin jets, spin the rotor at a speed up to 8,000 rev/min and
leaves the centrifugal filter through the base, where it is returned to the engine crank-
case/oil sump
