Working Smart with Oil Filters
|
|
|
When using a kidney-loop cart to filter oil, plumb the cart's filters in series. As the primary filter catches debris and starts to plug, the pressure drop across the filter increases. This increase in pressure differential can push previously captured debris through the filter. The secondary filter ends up having a lower pressure differential because most of the debris is captured by the primary filter. This differential allows the secondary filter to retain more of the debris it captures. The secondary filter also acts as a "safety" filter in case the primary filter ruptures.

Ensure Oil Flow to Journal Bearings
|
|
|
|
The basic function of a journal bearing is generally to support a shaft. This type of bearing usually is chosen for applications that are not subject to changes in shaft speed or load. After you have established the shaft speed, clearance, oil type and temperature, you can then determine the proper circulating oil flow to the journal bearing.
