Bypass oil filters are supplementary filtration system used alongside primary full-flow filters in engines and machinery. While full-flow filters capture larger particles as oil circulates through the engine, they allow smaller, harmful particles to pass through. Bypass oil filters address this by filtering a small portion of the oil at a time, removing these finer contaminants. This dual filtration system significantly improves overall oil cleanliness, providing better engine protection and extending oil and engine life. A highly efficient type of bypass oil filter is the centrifugal filter. It is the most effective filtration device available, utilizing centrifugal force to separate microscopic particles from lubrication oil.
A bypass oil filter works by:
In summary, bypass oil filtration significantly enhances oil filtration systems for engines and machinery by removing contaminants from the lubrication oil. This enhancement ensures better engine and machinery care, leading to improved efficiency while supporting sustainability initiatives. Beyond the initial investment, bypass oil filtration offers financial benefits by reducing maintenance needs and extending engine life.
