Calculating the pressure loss of the filter housing / filter element

The total pressure of the filters at a specific flow rate is comprised of the housing p∆ and the filter element p∆ . The pressure loss of the housing can be determined using the following pressure loss curve. The pressure loss of the elements is calculated on the basis of the R factors.

Housing p∆ : Pressure loss curve, housing

Flow rate (l/min)

The upper housing curve holds for mineral oil with a density of 0.86 kg/dm³ and a kinematics viscosity of 30 mm²/s. The lower housing curve holds for water at 20°C. For turbulent flow, the differential pressure will change proportionally to the density; for laminar flow, it will change proportionally to the density and viscosity. The flow velocity should not exceed 3 m/s at the filter inlet for oil and 4 m/s for water.

Mounting the filter housing

The filter housing is designed for horizontal or vertical installation in a pipeline or hose line with flange connection, SAE1" (3000 PSI). Use both rear side fastening threads M12, 15 mm deep.

Before installation, coat the connector threads with a lubricant containing a slip additive (MoS2). This prevents damage to the connector threads during installation.

Make sure that there is sufficient space below the filter housing to replace the filter element.

Notes on pipes and hoses In order to keep the pressure loss as low as possible, use as few threaded connections as possible. The pressure loss in a hydraulic line depends upon:

• Flow rate

• Kinematic viscosity

• Pipe dimensions

• Fluid density The pressure loss can be estimated for hydraulic oils as follows:

Δp ≈ 6.8 * L / d4 * Q * V * D Δp = Pressure differential in [bar]

L = Pipe length [m]

d = Internal pipe diameter [mm]

Q = Flow rate [l/min]

V = Kinematic viscosity [mm²/s]

D = Density [kg/dm³] Mineral oil-based hydraulic fluid has a density of ≈ 0.9 kg/cm³.

This formula applies to straight pipe runs and hydraulic oils. Additional threaded connections and pipe bends increase the pressure differential. Keep the height difference between the filter housing and the oil level in the tank as low as possible. Take note that hoses must be suitable for pressures of at least -0.5 bar. Constrictions in the connections and lines should be avoided. This could compromise suction output and cause cavitation . Take note that the nominal size of the connected hoses/piping must be at least as large as the inlet port sizes. Make sure that no stresses or vibrations are transmitted to the filter housing. Use hoses or expansion joints if necessary.

WARNING Change-over valve in interim position

Danger of bodily injury

► Always operate the filter with the change-over valve in the end position.

CAUTION

Pressure surge during rapid change-over

The filter/filter element will be damaged

► Move the change-over valve slowly from one position to the other to prevent pressure surges onto the filter housing/filter element.

Starting up the filter

The filter housing is supplied ex works without a built-in filter element. Prior to commissioning, insert the filter element into the filter housing. Proceed as described from page 30. Observe the following points during operation:

• permissible operating temperature

• permissible operating pressure

• permissible differential pressure on the filter element, see clogging indicator

Observe the clogging indicator The filter housing is fitted with different clogging indicators depending on the version. Please observe the clogging indicators, as described in the following.

Viewing and resetting the optical clogging indicator The filter housing is equipped with an optical clogging indicator for monitoring the contamination of the filter element. When the clogging indicator is red (1), change the filter element (2). Reset the clogging indicator by pressing the reset button (3).

Observing electrical clogging indicator With the electrical clogging indicators, an electrical signal is emitted when the filter element is being changed. Change the filter element as soon as the clogging indicator emits the electrical signal.

Performing maintenance

WARNING Hydraulic systems are under pressure

Danger of bodily injury

► The hydraulic system must be depressurized before performing any work on the hydraulic system.

► Change the filter element only on the passive filter housing.

Changing filter element To change the filter element on the passive filter housing, proceed as follows:

1.

Change the filter element only on the passive filter housing. Note the change-over valve and define the passive filter housing. Depressurize the filter housing. Unscrew the breather screw (C) in a counterclockwise direction.

2. To empty the filter housing, carefully unscrew the drain screw plug (1) at the bottom end of the filter housing in a clockwise direction using a 6 mm Allen

wrench . Collect the escaping fluid with a suitable container (2).

3. Loosen the coupling nut (1) by turning it in

a clockwise direction and then remove the filter bowl (2).

Use a strap wrench to remove the coupling nuts.

4. Remove the used filter element from the element mount and dispose of it properly.

5. Clean the sealing surfaces on the filter

head and filter bowl.

6. Clean the sealing surface on the filter

head. Check the O ring for visible signs of damage and, if necessary, replace it. Wet the O ring with hydraulic fluid and insert it.

7. For easy installation of the filter element, wet the O-ring on the filter element with the operating medium.

8. Carefully press the new filter element into the element mount by applying slight pressure, pressing it upwards and screwing it in.

Do not use a hammer, etc.

9. (1) Before screwing the union nut back on,

apply lubricant to it. Recommended lubricant for stainless steel unions -> lubricant containing a slip additive (MoS2) HYDAC article no. 3066287 (2) Screw the filter bowl over the coupling nut onto the filter head in a counterclockwise direction. When doing this, screw the union nut hand tight only.

10. Screw in the breather screw (C) by hand

tighten it with an Allen wrench in a clockwise direction.
