KLEENOIL - By-pass Filters For Hydraulic Applications
KLEENOIL By-pass filters are permanently installed, taking a small amount of flow from the system to which they are fitted, continually filtering whilst the machine runs.
Where there are high pressures as in the hydraulic line – KLEENOIL install a Pressure reducing valve with the filtration system.
These valves maintain a constant downstream pressure irrespective of the upstream pressure.
Enabling this Module to be installed to hydraulic systems, compressors, or any line with oil at pressure up to 3000PSI. The flow through the Kleenoil Filter is controlled to approximately 4 ltrs / minute at 40 PSI. to give a flow rate low enough to offer negligible effects on most ‘System Pressures’, Yet high enough to ensure that oil flows through the media to be kept in ‘as new’ condition.
Eliminates Water
Water will always be present in oil, using the Kleenoil Bypass Filter System will remove all water down to less than 0.05%, reducing the formation of sulfuric acid that will cause accelerated wear to engine components.
Removes Dirt and Contaminants
Dirt and wear metals will always be present in Hydraulic and Engine oil. The reasons that most fluid changes are done is to eradicate dirt and contaminant. Conventional fluid filtration components will filter the fluid down to approximately 10-micron in size. Using the Kleenoil Bypass Filter System will filter the fluid down to 3-micron in size reducing the chance of wear and ultimately reducing the number of engine or pump failures and rebuilds that would have needed to be performed during the life of the unit.
Desirable Elements Retained
Certain components are purposely placed in lubrication oil to make it effective. Some of the additives include dispersants, detergents, oxidation, and rust inhibitors, pour-point depressants, metal de-activators, and anti-foaming and gelling agents. While the Kleenoil Bypass Filter System is removing dirt, contaminants, wear metal particles and water; it is at a level that will not remove the oil additives needed for continued use.
Extends Drain Intervals
Oil can be run longer as it is kept clean, free of water and still maintain its additive package. Laboratory oil analysis will indicate the life of the oil but on average the drain is extended up to 10 times with the Kleenoil Bypass Filter System.
Reduces Time Needed for Service
Changing the Kleenoil Filter Cartridge requires much less time than what is required to perform a conventional full fluid change. This can be performed in less than 10 minutes and without the worry of spilling oil and disposing of contaminated fluids.
Continuous Protection Provided
The Kleenoil Bypass Filter System is installed to filter the fluid whenever there is oil pressure. Once the engine or the hydraulic pump is activated and there is fluid pressure, the fluid is continuously passing through the densely wound filter cartridge. The cartridge is wound with pure coniferous long fibre wood pulp paper. This design allows the water to be extracted from the fluid and still allows the larger oil molecules to pass through unchanged. The dirt and wear particles are trapped in the filter giving you a continuous self-contained recycling system.
Good for the Environment
Because the fluid is being recycled inside of its own application, longer drain intervals can be realized. Oil is a finite resource that one-day will run out. Keeping the fluid running longer reduces the amount of oil you will have to purchase throughout the now extended life of the unit.
Disposing of the used contaminated oil also creates a risk to the environment. Reducing the amount of fluid that has to be disposed of is one way of reducing the impact on the already taxed environment.
Whenever a full fluid change is required to be done there is always a risk of spills and ground contamination. Reducing the number of full drains reduce this risk dramatically.
