Australian Mining Review- Engine Oil Filtration
Increased demands to extend oil change-out intervals on engines has resulted in the use of synthetic oils being used on modern engines. These synthetic oils have resulted in oil change-out intervals being significantly increased, thereby reducing costs associated with oil changes. Extended oil change-out intervals have also impacted the filter used on the engine. Change-out of the filter element is in most cases associated with a change-out of the oil and the filter element has therefore had to be adapted to meet this requirement.
Filter elements have also had to adapt to other aspects of modern engines:
-Improving fuel economy
-Improving power
-Reducing emissions
Clean oil improves fuel economy and power output by reducing friction and wear on moving parts of the engine. Increased wear causes oil to enter the combustion chamber, burns with the fuel and is exhausted into atmosphere as particles and hydrocarbons.
A variety of housings makes the Triple R filter solution suitable for any size engine.
Triple R’s range of mobile and fixed housings provide the perfect solution for systems in harsh and remote mining environments. Selection of the type of filter housing is carried out quite simply by the sump size of the engine. Housings are typically available in aluminium, steel and stainless steels and range from single element housings to multiple element housings. Housings are supplied with integrated valves needed for functioning of the filter as a by-pass filter fitted onto the engine. This makes installation hassle free with no other control valves to be installed.
