Abstract:
This study examined the friction factor of replaceable element and conventional
oil filters in a diesel engine lubrication flow setting, simulated in a
precision benchtop facility that was developed for this purpose. Using clean
engine oils, pressure drop across the filters was measured as a function of oil
temperature and flow rate in the test facility in the range of 100-220°F and
2.0-4.5 GPM typical of diesel engine lubricant flow. The experimental results
show systematic differences in the behavior between conventional and replaceable
element oil filters attributable to temperature-related permeability variation
in the replaceable filter element.
