Eco-Tek bypass oil filtration
Early automobile engines did not use oil filters. For this reason, along with the generally low quality of oil available, very frequent oil changes were required. The first oil filters were simple, generally consisting of a screen placed at the oil pump intake. In 1923, American inventors Ernest Sweetland and George H. Greenhalgh devised an automotive oil filter and called it the Purolator, a portmanteau of "pure oil later". This was a bypass filter: most of the oil flowed directly from the oil pan to the engine's working parts, and a smaller proportion of the oil was sent through the filter via a second flow path in parallel with the first. The oil was thus filtered over time. Modern bypass oil filter systems for diesel engines are becoming popular in consumer applications, but have been in commercial use for some time due to potential reduction in maintenance costs. Oil filters are generally located near the middle or bottom of the engine.
Clean, dry oil can extend equipment life between failures up to 8-10 times the normal operating life. The Timken Co., a bearing manufacturer in Canton, OH, reports that reducing water levels from 100 ppm to 25 ppm increases bearing life two times. British hydraulics research indicates that if solids contamination with particles larger than 5 micron is reduced from a range of 5000-10,000 particles/ ml of oil to 160-320 particles, machine life is increased five times.
It is clear there is great benefit to be gained in having clean oil and that it may well be worth spending a lot of money to achieve it. This would be the case where expensive equipment was used and the cost of maintenance was high or where the equipment was costly but not highly profitable to operate. Increasing the equipment life and the period between maintenance up to 10 times normal would be highly profitable in both cases.
The patented Eco-Tek filter element is based on the axial flow principle and combines micro and depth filtration. This setup forces the oil to pass 102 mm particles, and to pass through 3 stages of different density, offering the best filter purification possible.
RESULT:
- Big particles are retained on top of the filter element, smaller particles (100-10µ) in the 1st stage and the smallest particles in the lower compressed part of the filter element(>10 µ).
- The cellulose filter material allows water absorption up to 255ml. by filter element.
- The combination of a special cellulose material with a long flow distance (102mm.) through the filter element results in Eco-Tek's unique ability to remove sludge and oxidation products. Our filter element products are perfect for any industrial or manufacturing use. Our filter purification process has helped earn our reputation in the industry.
Important: note: all our filter elements have passed the official Multipass test to ISO 4572. It is the only world-wide accepted test to define filter purification, efficiency and to publish absolute micron ratings and BETA-ratio's!
Axial filtration combined with special cellulose industrial filter material enables us to achieve within one element:
- Solid particle filtration and water absorption.
- Sludge, resin and oxidation products absorption
OIL SAVINGS
Since it is a bypass system on a vehicle, the oil will still go through the regular filters. Our Nano filter will keep the oil clean so you almost never have to change the regular filters,
Most regular filters only filter down to about 30 microns. Some will filter down to 20 microns, But even the best OEM filter does not filter down below 10 microns and a regular oil filter does practically nothing. Economy filters are actually filtering oil contaminants only down to about 150 microns. Our bypass system filters oil down to 3 microns.
Our bypass oil filtration system on your truck will keep your oil clean approx. three to four times the usual life. It will extend oil drain intervals, save you money on oil, oil changes (downtime), fuel consumption and equipment replacement. Clean oil also keeps emissions at a minimum.
Plus, your equipment will have a higher resale value down the road.
