Description: 
By-Pass Hydraulic Filter can be fitted on the 'bypass' basis to hydraulic systems, compressors, or any system with oil at pressure up to 3000 PSI. The flow through the Kleenoil filter is controlled to approximately 4 ltr per minute at 40 PSI. A flow rate, which is low enough to have negligible effect on most system pressures and yet high enough to ensure that oil is being kept in 'as new' condition. The Kleenoil filter cartridge is made of densely wound pure coniferous long fibre wood pulp paper. The Kleenoil filter cartridge acts both by 'absorption and adsorption' in a continuous process. The long fibres of the paper attract the water, which arrives either through the combustion process or by condensation and absorb it like a sponge, at the same time rejecting the larger oil molecules, which are forced to pass between the tight windings of the cartridge. As the oil passes through the cartridge, minute carbon, wear metals and dust are extracted from the oil by adhering to the many surfaces of the filter- a process known as adsorption. Thus, the Kleenoil cartridge, by removing water inhibits the production of acids, which both degrade the oil and cause excessive wear. The simultaneous removal of minute contaminants as they occur enables the oil to be extended within its operating specifications.
