Aluminum Filter Housing

Aluminum Filter Housing

Includes Filter Cartridge Bypass
AVF816 Series

DESCRIPTION

The oil bypass filter housing was designed for sensitive equipment that requires oil flow even when the cartridge has reached its particulate or water capacity. High performance Aquacon^® water and particulate removal filter cartridges are used with this housing.

Aquacon^® cartridges filter out water by chemically locking it into layers of super-absorbent media. This cartridge along with the particulate cartridge effectively filters out dirt, rust and other particulates.

Both Aquacon^® water and particulate cartridges for this housing have a uniquely designed oil bypass system. As the pressure drop across the cartridge reaches 65 psi (4.48 bar), the bypass valve opens and oil flow bypasses the fine cartridge media. As the oil bypasses the fine media, the oil is still filtered through a 75 micron media high capacity and high surface area pleated cartridge. This allows oil flow through the housing to the equipment even if the cartridge has reached its water or solids capacity.
