Service Life vs. Dirt Capacity

Definitions of life-of-service and retention are given below. Retention should not be used to predict the life of the filter element service, since many variables that affect the ability of direct data.

Durability:
Life is the length of time a filter will survive in any real system before (the minimum pressure difference? P) is reached.

Dirt capacity of multi-pass test

* The Dirt capacity is measured accurately with the multipass test ISO 4572 (ANSI / NFPA) T3.10.8.8R1.
* The ISO 4572 multi-pass test with “real-life scenario for hydraulic effective measure Quanity incoming particles with a hydraulic system, and to measure the ability of each filter element to capture and retain particles in up and over the rated current and Components specifications for a pressure drop.
* This is the specific aspects of the filter mesh.
Test variables can affect the data features include:

* Speed.
* Pollute
* Rate contaminant intrusion.
* Multi-pass vs. single pass.
* Terminal pressure drop.
* Integrity filter.

Comparing the retention of two elements.

* All variables must be equal.
* Items must be of equal size.
* Items must have the same effectiveness (link to the beta ratio).
* Compare Distributed capacitance values of the country.

Capacity retention seems to simply measure a parameter and to understand, but to predict the utilization of land, the life is difficult enough. Two different filters with the same storage capacity is almost always life quite differently. To enable, for example, the coarse filter with outstanding capabilities of the country, a generation of particles due to wear. They usually have a shorter life span than fine filters.

Apparent ability of Dirt
Cpacity visible dirt is the amount of dust that can be added to the test filter before (the minimum distance? P) is reached.

Dirt features retained.
Retained earnings and the capacity of the soil is the amount of dirt, through the filter into a test system before the terminal is covered? P is reached.

Beta Ratio:
By the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 4572, developed multi-pass Effieincy TESTR (beta ratio) compares the ability to effectively capture contaminants filter “A” filter “B”. Pollutant (Air Cleaner Fine Test Dust or ACFTD) in a hydraulic test bench and test standards ISO, flow, pressure and intrusion price controls are provided. The quantity of pollutants before and after the filter element is measured and the ratio docuemented. The ratio of contaminant entry into and out of element is in beta coefficients (SS). Depending higher the beta, the more dirt the item to catch a single pass.

Example: Beta (ß) 6 = 1000.

# 6 = Six (6) size of the submicron particles discussed.
# 1000 = rate of particles (6 microns or more) vs. Out. If 1 million particles pass through these filters would be released only 1000th If this number was 75 (not 1000), and 1 million of them pass through the filter, would be 13.3333 exit filter element of the past. Obviously, the element with the beta ratio is higher (1000 vs. 75) is captured and holds the largest share of the particles.

Percentage of efficiency:
This terminology is still used by some manufacturers of filters and can be very misleading for the user. A filter that “98%” compared to a filter that 99.2% efficiency can be almost identical sound. However, the filter of 98% can actually almost 3-times more dirt the filter downstream of 99.2%. Compared with filter elements BETA RATIO Only. (Link to the definition of beta)

Effects of contamination:
Each microscopic particles in the hydraulic system acts like a seed “abrasive, which turned to a possible component failure. The bridges of microscopic particles of the dynamic (or running), Authorizations in the component (link to typical clearances dynamic array). The microscopic contaminants and grinds quickly eroded away internal pump, valves, cylinders and metal. This creates literally microscopic abrasive particles and highly polluting, grinding more and more from your system. Component Failure is inevitable. This action will take a “chain reaction” to.

Installation effective filtration of contaminants in the solution is to solve this problem. The key is to capture and hold the particles. Once the particles are removed from the active system, the production of abrasive and erosive wear constantly. Hydraulic system increases the quality, productivity continued unabated. The disasters are avoided.

Abrasive Wear:
It is the primary mechanism of wear in a hydraulic system. Particles enter the space between two moving surfaces, buried in one area and as a tool for cutting metal on the surface in motion. The size of the particles cause abrasion, most are the ones who are the same, and slightly larger than the shares in the system. To protect your system against abrasive wear, particles in the range of dynamics (race) permissions in the component must be removed.

Abrasive wear affects the following:

* Changes dimensional.
* Leaks.
* Back to decrease.
* Production of particles that are larger – more wear = Chain Reaction of Wear.

Erosive Wear:
A secondary wear mechanism within the hydraulic system is the erosion wear. As you know, create more abrasive wear particles as a tool for cutting metal, metal, literally gouging of moving surfaces.

The erosion wear is the result of the heavy metal particles of soil into smaller particles that) do not bridge the gap between the moving surfaces (usually 1-3 microns), but because of their large number (hundreds of thousands of the sample, right-hand sander literally “in our system. Hydraulic pressure breath and the flow of these small particles, against any sharp edges in the system, and literally eats it away.

Sludge and acids
Sludge and acids may also be in hydraulic and lubrication systems. This occurs when the fluid reacts chemically with water, earth, metal, air, heat, pressure and fluid incompatible. The sludge is not abrasive, as a rule, however, generate heat by the loss of the lubricating film. The sludge is known to slow down as the rubber coating on the moving parts, or stop exercise their activities. Acids corrode and pit the critical parts of destroying moving games and functional causes 20% of the total replacement of components.

By removing water, dirt and heat in the system the assumption that oil is not “burned” or poorly mixed, the oil must remain additive package with the new oil-compatible. The oil can go on forever.

Filter fineness
All hydraulic and lubrication systems are likely to have leaked to him. Studies like those conducted by the Oklahoma State University, the U.S. Navy, SAE, ASME, Fluid Power Research Center, and many others found that the cleaning of oil-hydraulics, longer than the previous system. The degree of filtering should be directly related runnability.

The selection of the filter must be carefully considered, the following conditions, including:

* Beta-ratio – the ratio of pollution in the filter, through pollution, through the filter (link to the detailed Beta ratio mentioned above)
* Pressure Drop – All system components to produce a resistance to the flow of oil through them. This is the pressure drop. The pressure drop is a network for the flow of oil to the filter input port to the exit door. In all filters, this will include a pressure drop across the housing and the element. The pressure drop varies with flow rate, viscosity and density of the liquid. If you have a selection of filters, the maximum allowable pressure drop of the system into account: the operating temperature, the highest and the lowest temperature and dirty configuration element of the bypass valve. It must be ensured in the design of a filter in a circuit or battery circuit cylinder with the size of the pressure drop at peak flow.

* Pressure System – the return filter must withstand pressure in the return line, while pressure filter must withstand the maximum system pressure. These pressure spikes are induced by operation. Housing, bypass valves, and the item must resist fatigue cycling and the tides.
* Temperature – Effect of temperature of the viscosity (flow resistance) of the liquid. Filters are selected and average ambient cold temperatures and the temperature of the system.
*  Other factors – the environment in which teamwork is very important, especially if the dish into the atmosphere. It is very common to install Beta 3> 1000 air vents in the tank is every possibility of penetrating foreign, particulate matter into the reservoir.
* With the increasing emphasis on preventing machine downtime, the need for higher quality development. Since the pumps and valves razor clearnances the scale 1 to 5 microns, it is easy to understand the need for clean oil. To meet this demand will be the filters of the filtering of up to 1 (one) micron level (Beta 1> 1000), with a long life and low pressure drop can.

Tips for selecting FILTER

1. The higher the proportion of beta (link to the part of the relationship Beta here), the faster the pollutants removed from the system.
2. The smaller the initial size of the clean pressure drop, the longer it takes the item in operation.

Recirculation systems filtering – With more and more “on time”, which is required by production managers, “dead time” for the regular maintenance of increasingly scarce. To allow continuous operation of equipment, even though he can use the dirty filter service is a re-filter systems are installed throughout the time of production machinery.

These inexpensive devices are screwed to the machine, continuously filtering oil tank. If an item is dirty, set the MACHNE production specs, while independent determination of the return filter may be closed to change the dirty element.
