Introduction of The Filter Element

What does a filter element do?

The filter element separates solid particles in liquid or gas, or fully contacts different material components to speed up the reaction time, which can protect the normal operation of the equipment or the cleanliness of the air. When the fluid enters the filter element with a certain specification filter, its impurities are blocked, while clean fluid exits through the filter element. The liquid filter element, including oil filter element, water filter element etc, clean the polluted liquid to the state required for production and life, that is, to make the liquid reach a certain degree of cleanliness. The air filter makes the polluted air clean to the state required for production and life, that is, to make the air reach a certain degree of cleanliness. 

Application of the filter element

The application range of the filter element is very wide, including vacuum coating, machinery, optical disk, metallurgy, petroleum, chemical industry, papermaking, food, medicine, electronics, electric power, ceramics, water diversion, printing and dyeing, sugar refining, refrigeration equipment and other fields. Take filter element miu802421 for John Deere as an example, it fits specific models of John Deere excavator, four-wheel drive loader, skid-steer loader and so on.

Material of the filter element

There are many kinds of filter elements, such as paper filter element, chemical fiber filter element (glass fiber, metal fiber, sintered felt polypropylene fiber, polyester fiber), mesh filter element, line gap filter element (installed in the filter equipment to separate substances, wide application according to the material)

Characteristics of the filter element

a. Excellent chemical compatibility, suitable for filtering strong acids, strong bases and organic solvents.

b. The filter membrane is a folded depth filter with a large membrane filtration area.

c. Low differential pressure, strong dirt holding capacity and long service life.

d. Awide range of filter precision to choose from.

e. Filteringout the tiniest impurity particles to protect the engine while satisfying the air intake.

f. Reducingthe noise when the engine sucks in air.

g. Saving10% fuel.

Maintenance of the filter element

The filter element is the core part of the filter. It is made of special materials and is a vulnerable part that requires special protection. Some signals will suggest it’s time for the air filter element replacement and the liquid filter element, but you also should know how to maintain the filter element. When the filter in the system has been working for a period of time, the filter element in the filter has intercepted a certain amount of polluting impurities. At this time, the pressure increases and the flow rate will gradually decrease. The transmitter will send out a signal which means it is necessary to clean up the impurities in the filter element and clean the filter element. In the process of cleaning the filter element, make sure that the filter element is not deformed or damaged. Otherwise, it cannot be used again in case of affecting the filtration efficiency and causing damage to the entire system.
