Ecofil Depth Filtration Housing HP350

Ecofil Depth Filtration Housing HP350

The HP-Series is designed to handle pressures up to 4,569 PSI/315 Bar, typically found in applications such as hydraulics and transmissions. You need more than a good quality oil and standard filter to extend component life and time between oil changes. External contamination arises from many sources including contaminated ‘new unused oil’, airborne particles (dust) and moisture laden air which enters through the breather, cylinder seals, shaft seals, or during maintenance activities. Internal contamination arises when a system ‘self-contaminates’ over time. The main high pressure oil filter’s generally rated at 10 µm (human hair = 50 µm, bacteria cells = 2 µm) and have a limited ability to remove water and high volumes of ‘ultra-fine’ particles and wear metals.

Generation 2 Filtration™ ‘bypass’ filtration has the ability to polish small volumes of oil at low flow rates, down to 1 micron, through the precision wound multi-ply ‘axial-flow’ cellulose element, removing the ultra-fine contamination and water normally missed by standard Filters. Generation 2™ elements (ß2 = 200) have 4 stages of filtration, the purpose is to meet and exceed ‘Servo Control Valve’ requirements. We usually associate these with high accuracy and stability, precise positioning, fine velocity and acceleration controls, found in hydraulics and other high pressure applications.

How It Works

The oil under high pressure (up to 4,569 PSI/315 Bar) enters the inlet at the bottom of the unit, travels up into the ‘Integrated Pressure Reduction Valve’, moves up the centre core of the G2F element at 43.5 PSI/3 Bar, before passing down through the 4-stages of micro-depth filtration. First, the oil filters down to 1 micron then discharged from the outlet of the unit. The polished oil then returns to the oil reservoir at atmospheric pressure. You should change the G2F element at regular intervals. You can determine this by the rate of contamination the system produces and the environment it is operating in. We recommend you should also do an oil analysis with an ISO particle count to monitor oil contamination levels. This allows one to meet and exceed targeted oil cleanliness levels.
