2.2.2 FILTERING UNIT

128
115 The filtering unit includes two distributors (128) at
130 the top and at the bottom which routes the incom-
117 ing oil and controls the filtering and backflushing
111 procedure. Two sleeves (130 and 142) are placed,
133 over which the full-flow (134) and diversion filter
elements (117) are mounted. The bottom section
134 houses the finer full-flow elements (134) and the
shorter top section houses the coarser diversion fil-
110
ter elements (117). Both sets of filter elements are
142 located over the full-flow rods (110) and diversion
rods (111) to complete the filtering unit. The rotation
128
movement of the hydraulic motor is transmitted
Filtering unit directly to the diversion distributor (128). Diversion
BX-0087 and full flow driving rods (115 and 133) transmits
rotation movement to the full-flow distributor (128).
118
111
117
112 The full-flow filter elements (134) are clamped

between the full-flow companion spacer (105) and
105 the full-flow cover (118) by means of the springs
102 (102) and the rods (110).
110 The diversion filter elements (117) are clamped

between the diversion companion spacer (112) and
the diversion cover (118) by means of the rods
134 (111).
118
Both types of filter element are made up from two
element halves. Each half comprises an aluminium
framework of 16 equal sectors separated by radial
ribs. Between each rib is a stainless steel filter
screen. When the pairs of filter elements are
stacked together they form 16 independent filtering
Section of filtering unit BX-0081 columns.
The main physical difference between the two

types of elements is that the full-flow filter element
screen is finer.

Both full-flow and diversion filter elements have the
Full-flow and diversion filter elements opening on the outside (A).

2.2.3 HYDRAULIC MOTOR
The hydraulic motor (45) is located on top of the fil-

ter housing. It is driven by a small part of the filtered
oil. The hydraulic motor rotates the distributor (16)
in a stepwise manner in one direction which con-
trols the filtering/backflushing procedure. The step-
wise rotation of the distributor is indicated by an
operating indicator (53) fitted to the driving shaft of
the hydraulic motor.
Hydraulic motor 1HM-001 The hydraulic motor contains a piston (20) that
moves up and down in a reciprocating motion
inside a cylinder (A), (the body of the hydraulic
motor). The piston is via driving pins (24), con-
nected to a helical grooved driven ratchet (30)
which converts the upward motion of the piston into
a rotational step. This rotational step is transmitted
via the driving ratchet (29) and driving shaft (22) to
the distributor. Downward motion of the piston dis-
engages the driving ratchet and the distributor does
not move.
Valves in the cylinder are activated by the move-

ment of the piston, so controlling the driving oil to
the upper and lower side of the piston respectively.

2.3 APPLICATIONS
The application for this type of filter is for full-flow fil-

tering of lubricating oils for diesel engines.
The filter is installed in the full-flow lube oil system

as close to the engine as possible. Its function is to
protect the engine against harmful solid particles,
that may not yet have been removed by the centrif-
ugal separator, which is installed in the by-pass
lube oil system.
The illustration below shows the two systems.

Note that the flow through the full-flow system (and

the filter) is typically 50 - 100 times greater than the
flow through the by-pass system (and the separa-
tor).
1809041-20 fd 11
2.4 DESIGN FEATURES
The Moatti automatic lube oil filter is not a conven-

tional type of automatic filter. Conventional filters
generally work on the principle that the backflush-
ing is initiated when the pressure drop across the
filter reaches a pre-set value. The Moatti filter is
unique as it works on a principle of continuous
backflushing. Generally about 3% of the filtered oil
is always backflushing one column of the filter ele-
ments and driving of the hydraulic motor.
The main features and advantages of the unique

Moatti automatic lube oil filter are as follows:
• Continuous backflushing
• Disc-type filter elements
• Filtered oil drives the continuous backflushing
• No disposable filter elements
• Constant pressure drop over the filter
• Compact and lightweight design
2.4.1 CONTINUOUS BACKFLUSHING
The Moatti automatic filter is continuously back-

flushed, column by column. The backflushing is
performed with filtered oil and the entire filter sur-
face is cleaned once every 3 to 5 minutes. This pre-
vents retained solids from sticking to the filter
surface, ensuring a low and constant pressure
drop. Therefore, the need for manual cleaning of
the filter elements is reduced to a minimum. This
generally allows for more than 12 000 operating
hours between manual cleaning and inspection of
the filter.
2.4.2 DISC-TYPE FILTER ELEMENTS
The Moatti automatic filter is fitted with robust disc-

type filter elements.This design feature, together
with the low and constant pressure drop (from the
continuous backflushing), eliminate the risk of
cracked filter elements.
12 1809041-20 fd
2.4.3 FILTERED OIL DRIVES THE CONTINUOUS

BACKFLUSING
Filtered oil is used for backflushing of the filter ele-

ments. Filtered oil is also used to drive of the
hydraulic motor which, in turn, drives the distributor,
so controlling the backflushing. As a result, electric-
ity and compressed air are not required for the
operation.
2.4.4 NO DISPOSABLE FILTER ELEMENTS
The Moatti automatic filter contains no disposable

elements.
2.4.5 CONSTANT PRESSURE DROP OVER THE

FILTER
As the continuous backflushing process gives a

constant pressure drop it is possible to get an
immediate indication from the pressure drop indica-
tor when something is wrong in the lube oil system.
2.4.6 COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
The design gives a simple compact, lightweight and

reliable system which is easy to install. It also pro-
vides increased possibilities for up-grading of exist-
ing installations

2.5 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
2.5.1 OVERVIEW
The main principle of operation for the Moatti auto-

matic lube oil filter is as follows:
• The oil to be filtered is pumped from the lube oil

sump through the filter and to the engine.
• When the oil reaches the filter it first passes

through a strainer located in the inlet body. This
should remove any large foreign matter like
pieces of rag which may be left in the system
after maintenance.
• Once past the strainer the oil then passes

through the full-flow filter elements (where the
solids are trapped) and to the engine. A part of
the filtered oil (3% of the capacity of the filter) is
used to backflush part of the full-flow filter ele-
ments and for drive of the hydraulic motor.
• The backflushed oil with solids from the full-flow

chamber is led to the diversion chamber where
it is filtered again, before it is led back to the
lube oil sump.
• The filter elements in the diversion chamber are

backflushed (with filtered oil) in the same man-
ner as in the full-flow chamber.
• The solids concentrated in the diversion cham-

ber are discharged from the system by periodic
draining.
The whole filtering cycle can be considered as two

phases:
Phase I: - Filtering in both chambers

- Backflushing in the full-flow chamber
Phase II: - Filtering in both chambers

- Backflushing in the diversion chamber

• Unfiltered oil enters the filter at (A), flows
through the strainer (S), through the openings of
the distribution cover (G), which are not covered
by the distributor (C), and into the independant
sleeve chambers (B).
• The oil is distributed from those chambers

through the full-flow filter elements (D) into four-
teen of the sixteen filtering columns. The solids
BX-0069 are trapped on the inner side of the elements in
the fourteen filtering columns.
• The filtered oil flows into the full-flow chamber

(E) and is fed through the filter outlet (F) to the
engine.
• A few hundred litres per hour of the filtered oil

are routed from the full-flow chamber (E) to the
hydraulic motor (H) to drive the distributor (C).

Backflushing in the full-flow chamber
E • While the full-flow takes place in the fourteen fil-

tering columns (B), solids are being removed
from the elements in the sixteenth column (K)
by backflushing (from outside to inside of the
K column) using part of the filtered oil from the full-
flow chamber (E).
• The backflushed oil with removed solids flows

through the sleeve chamber (K) down into the
distributor (C), through the central sleeve col-
umn, and then to the diversion chamber (L),
thanks to the spacer openings (O).

Filtering in the diversion chamber
• The backflushed oil with solids that enter the

diversion chamber (L) passes through fourteen
of the diversion filtering columns (from outside
N L to inside). The solids are trapped on the outside
of the diversion filter elements (M).

• The filtered oil flows through the return passage
in the sleeve (N), through the openings of the
distribution cover (X) which are not covered by
the distributor (C), and is recirculated to the lube
oil sump from backflushed oil outlet (P).

2.5.3 PHASE II
The second phase of the filtering operation occurs

when the hydraulic motor has rotated the distribu-
tor.
Filtering in the full-flow chamber

• Because of the new position of the distributor,
filtering is now carried out in fourteen of the six-
teen filtering columns.
• No backflushing is carried out in the full-flow

chamber during this phase.

Backflushing in the diversion chamber

• Part of the filtered oil in the full-flow chamber (E)
flows through the spacer opening (R) to the
diversion companion spacer chamber (Z). Then,
oil flows through the central sleeve chamber
Z column to the diversion distributor (C), where oil
is routed to one sleeve chamber and flows
R
through one column of the diversion filter ele-
ment (M), from inside (N) to outside (L), remov-
ing the trapped solids from the outer side of the
elements.
• The heavy particles settle to the bottom of the

BX-0133 diversion chamber (L) and are discharged peri-
odically through the drain valve (V).
Filtering in the diversion chamber

• The full-flow backflushed oil, routed thanks to
the spacer openings (O), now passes through
the other fourteen sleeve columns, from outside
(L) to inside (N) of the diversion elements. Oil
N L flows through the openings of the distribution
cover (X) which are not covered by the distribu-
M
tor (C).
• The filtered oil is recirculated to the lube oil

sump from the backflushed oil outlet (P).
Removal of trapped solids

BX-0134
• The solids trapped in the diversion chamber
(settled solids and solids from the elements) are
discharged periodically through the valve (V).
Operation of the hydraulic motor
• The hydraulic motor continues to receive filtered

oil from the full-flow chamber (E) and rotates the
distributor to its next position where the filtering/
backflushing process is repeated in the next fil-
tering column.

2.6 PRESSURE DROP INDICATOR
The inlet pressure P1 is taken before the strainer (6) in the fil-
ter body (1) and the outlet pressure P2 is taken on the outlet.
Both monitoring points are fitted with isolator cocks and pipe-
work to connect them to the pressure drop indicator (110).
The pressure drop indicator shows the pressure drop ΔP (P1 -

P2) across the full-flow elements. Due to the continuous back-
flushing, ΔP is constant during operation. It may vary from 0.2
to 0.7 bar depending on the installation and filter size.
If for any reason the filter starts to clog, the pressure drop will
increase. To prevent the filter becoming completely clogged
the pressure drop indicator is equipped with a preset alarm
value (ΔP-alarm). This value generally ranges from 0.8 to 1.0
bar and is set at the factory.
If the pressure drop reaches the preset value, an electrical

contact is switched giving possibility for a signal to the control
system of the engine.
! CAUTION
The pressure drop indicator must be connected to the

engine control system for the ΔP-alarm to safeguard
the engine. On activation of a ΔP-alarm, the trouble
shooting activities must be started immediately, see
chapter 4.

OPERATION
1 OPERATION
3.1 PRE-START CHECKS
The operation of the Moatti automatic lube oil filter is

simple and the operator has only to make checks before
initial start-up, at initial start-up and during operation.
3.1.1 BEFORE INITIAL START-UP
! CAUTION:
The lube oil system must be cleaned from con-

taminants from the installation work before the
first operation of the automatic filter. This “flush-
ing” must NOT be made through the automatic
filter as it can damage the filter screen and clog
the filter, see chapter 6.
! CAUTION:
Ensure that the pressure drop indicator is con-

nected to the control system of the engine.

3.1.2 IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE INITIAL START-UP
The following checks must be made.

V2 B
Check that the following valves and cocks are open:
• Inlet valve V1 to the filter
• Outlet valve V2 from the filter
A • Outlet valve V3 in the return to sump (backflushing)

line (if fitted).
• Isolator cocks (A) and (B) on the pressure drop indi-

cator pipes, located on the filter body (1).

operational.
The following describes the checking procedures for

the initial start-up.
1. Ensure that lube oil is flowing through the filter at

the required capacity.
2. Check the function of the hydraulic motor. Make a

maximum
• Working engine: 8 minutes maximum
NOTE !
If the operating indicator does not rotate or the time

for one revolution is more than the respective 15 or 8
minutes, see chapter 4 "Trouble Shooting".
3. Check the pressure drop on the pressure drop indi-

cator and read off the value. Under normal operat-
ing conditions the value should not exceed 0.6 - 0.7
bar. If the value is higher see chapter 4.
4. Check for any external oil leaks. If there is an oil

leakage, tighten the bolts or change the gaskets as
necessary, see also chapter 4

OPERATION
3.3 NORMAL OPERATION
When correctly installed and initially started-up the

Moatti automatic lube oil filter requires very little atten-
tion. However, to ensure continued reliable operation,
the filter must be checked at regular intervals.
3.3.1 DETERMINATION OF REFERENCE VALUES
Approximately 100 operating hours after the initial start-

up or major maintenance procedure, (see chapter 5),
reference values for the pressure drop and rotation of
the operating indicator must be noted as follows:
1. Note the pressure drop on the pressure drop indica-

tor and mark this value "ΔP-ref" on the indicator.
2. Note the number of minutes for one revolution of the

operating indicator.
A =ΔP-ref

Pressure drop reference value
3.3.2 DAILY CHECKS
Every day the pressure drop and operating indicator

must be checked, visually for:
The pressure drop does not exceed 0.2 bar higher than
the reference value determined in 3.3.1 (1).
The operating indicator rotates in a stepwise manner.
The number of minutes for one revolution is not more

than 1 minute above the reference value determined in
3.3.1 (2).
1809041-20 op 25
OPERATION
If the pressure drop and operating indicator values are

higher than stated see chapter 4, "Trouble Shooting".
3.3.3 150-200 OPERATING HOURS CHECKS
The diversion chamber must be drained after every

150-200 operating hours. The procedure to do this is as
follows:
1. Unlock the drain cock (57) by loosening the lock

screw and nut.
WARNING:
!
Open the drain cock slowly to prevent hot oil
from splashing in the funnel
2. Open the cock by 1/4 of a turn (cock handle in line

with cock) and keep it open for approximately 15
seconds. The drained lube oil quantity will be
approximately 15 litres and will drain into a sludge
tank.
3. Close the cock and lock it (tighten lock screw and

nut).

3.4 SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
There are no special procedures to carry out when the

filter is shut down. Its operation is entirely dependent
on the lube oil pump. When the lube oil pump is
switched off or stops the valves on the filter may be
left open.

If it is not possible to turn the operating indica-

tor by hand during operation, do not use a
pipe on the end of the operating indicator.
Failure to observe this may result in damage
to the equipment.
3.5 EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the hydraulic motor is not working properly, an emer-

gency operation can be used to manually backflush
the filter. This procedure should only be used when
the following have been checked :
1. Valve (V3) in the return to sump line (if fitted) has

not been closed by mistake.
2. Gaskets for the hydraulic motor are not available

(See chapter 7)
3. A replacement hydraulic motor is not available.

4.1 GENERAL
This chapter deals with the most common problems

when the filter does not work correctly or when the
ΔP- alarm occurs. It will give the possible reasons
for the problems and actions to solve them.
The chapter is divided into the following main parts:
• Problems at initial start-up before ΔP-alarm

occurs, see section 4.2.
• External leakage, see section 4.3.
• Abnormal values on daily checks but no ΔP-

alarm, see section 4.4.
• Problems with the ΔP-alarm activated, see sec-

1. Valves V1, V2 and/or V3 are closed. Open the valves slowly and completely (V2
before V1). Pay special attention to valve V3
in the “return to sump” line because its
location may not be near the filter.
2. Lube oil temperature too low. Wait and see because the temperature will
probably increase. If it does not, check the
lube oil cooling system.
3. Lube oil pressure too low. Probably the engine is by-passed or only a
small pre-lube oil pump is in operation.
If so, connect the engine and main pump.
4. The hydraulic motor is not working properly (i) Manually turn the operating
indicator (53).
(ii) Inspect the hydraulic motor, see

chapter 5

5.1 GENERAL
The design and the operating cycle of the filter min-

imize the need for maintenance. However in order
to ensure reliable operation of the filter it has to be
cleaned and inspected at least every

12000 operating hours (1,5 - 2 years).
Pressure drop alarms or breakdowns (see chapter

4) may shorten this period. This chapter is divided
into the following sections :
• Overhaul of the filter (5.2)
• Overhaul of the hydraulic motor (5.3)
• After maintenance checks (5.4)
Sections 5.2 and 5.3 are structured as follows :
• Tools and spares required
• Disassembly procedures
• Cleaning/inspection tasks
• Assembly procedures
Section 5.4 covers the checks that must be made

before the filter is put back into service. Required
new parts can be found in chapter 7, which con-
tains an illustrated parts list for the filter and hydrau-
lic motor. A sample ordering form is included in the
appendices for ordering spare parts.

6.1 GENERAL
The Moatti automatic lube oil filter should be

installed in the lube oil system in accordance with
good working practices. Pay attention to the recom-
mendations and only use specified materials.
! CAUTION:
Ensure that the equipment is installed in

according to the instructions given in this
manual.
Note: Ensure that the pressure drop indica-

tor is connected to the control system of the
engine.
! CAUTION:
Before the first operation through the auto-

matic filter, ensure that any possible con-
taminants from the installation work have
been removed from the lube oil system.
Note: Do not «flush» the lube oil system

and pipework through the automatic filter.
See chapter "FLUSHING THE SYSTEM".

6.2 THE FILTER IN THE SYSTEM
Specification
The filter should be installed in the main lube oil

system in accordance with the diagram below.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the filter is installed after the

lube oil cooler within the main lube oil system. This
means that sudden pressure increases from the
starting of the stand-by lube oil pump will be
"damped" in the cooler eliminating possible filter
problems.

INSTALLATION
6.3.3 ACCESSIBLE LOCATION
Specification
The filter should be installed on the "floor" in such a

way to ensure that:
1. The operating indicator of the hydraulic motor

can easily be seen and operated by hand
(when required).
Operating indicator 1HM-005
2. The value on the pressure drop indicator can

easily be observed.
Pressure drop indicator BX-0010
3. The drain cock (with its elbow) can easily be

reached and operated.

INSTALLATION
6.4 SYSTEM PIPING CONNECTIONS
Specification
V3 S Ensure that the pipes to and from the filter match

the oil flow direction in the filter.
P
A =Inlet from the sump
V2 F =Outlet to engine
F P =Return to sump (backflushing)
The filter is delivered with the necessary counter

flanges, O-rings and bolts.
Specification
• Ensure that the blind flanges (between the

flanges and the counter flanges) are removed
V1
when the pipework has been connected.
• Shut-off valves (V1 and V2) must be installed at

BX-0088 the filter inlet and outlet.
• An elbow (S) should be installed at the back-

flushing outlet for easier removal of the filter
unit.
• The pipe for the backflushed oil must be directly

connected to the lube oil sump. This line should
be of equal or greater diameter than the outlet
and should be a short pipe with a minimum
number of bends and no restrictions. No other
connections should be made to this pipe.
• The suction part of the inlet system must not be

located in the bottom of the lube oil sump. It
should be installed in a "clean area".
• The drain from the diversion chamber should

lead to a sludge tank.
• The drain cock should be connected to the drain

pipe via a funnel.

INSTALLATION
6.5 CONNECTION OF THE PRESSURE DROP

INDICATOR
! CAUTION:
The electrical contactor (E) of the pressure

drop indicator MUST be connected to the
control system of the engine. Trouble
Shooting MUST be started immediately a
pressure drop alarm is detected.

6.6 FLUSHING THE SYSTEM
During installation there is a risk that various types

of contaminants may "find their way" into the sys-
tem.
To prevent operating problems (see chapter

"TROUBLE SHOOTING" in the Instruction
Book) these contaminants must be flushed out
of the system before the automatic filter is used
to filter any oil.
This "flushing" procedure must be made through a

special flushing filter (which is installed temporarily
for this).
! CAUTION:
Never use the automatic filter in the "flush-

ing" procedure.
