Calculating the pressure loss of the filter housing / filter element

The total pressure of the filters at a specific flow rate is comprised of the housing p∆ and the filter element p∆ . The pressure loss of the housing can be determined using the following pressure loss curve. The pressure loss of the filter elements is computed on the basis of the R factors.

Flow rate (l/min)

The upper housing curve holds for mineral oil with a density of 0.86 kg/dm³ and a kinematics viscosity of 30 mm²/s. The lower housing curve holds for water at 20°C. For turbulent flow, the differential pressure will change proportionally to the density; for laminar flow, it will change proportionally to the density and viscosity. The flow velocity should not exceed 3 m/s at the filter inlet for oil and 4 m/s for water.

Mounting the filter housing

During installation, make sure that the direction of flow through the filter is correct. This is indicated by an arrow on the filter head.

Right Wrong The filter housing is designed for horizontal or vertical installation in a pipeline or hose line with a threaded connector of G1“ (cylindrical pipe thread in accordance with DIN ISO 228; part 1).

Before installation, coat the connector threads with a lubricant containing a slip additive (MoS2). This prevents damage to the connector threads during installation.

In order to change the filter elements, sufficient clearance is to be provided underneath the filter bowl in the immediate vicinity of the filter at the inlet and outlet shut-off valves.

Notes on pipes/hosing In order to keep the pressure loss as low as possible, use as few threaded connections as possible. The pressure loss in a hydraulic line depends upon:

• flow rate

• Kinematic viscosity

• Pipe dimensions

• fluid density The pressure loss can be estimated for hydraulic oils as follows:

Δp ≈ 6.8 * L / d4 * Q * V * D Δp = Pressure differential in [bar]

L = Pipe length [m]

d = Internal pipe diameter [mm]

Q = Flow rate [l/min]

V = Kinematic viscosity [mm²/s]

D = Density [kg/dm³] Mineral oil-based hydraulic fluid has a density of ≈ 0.9 kg/cm³.

This formula applies to straight pipe runs and hydraulic oils. Additional threaded connections and pipe bends increase the pressure differential. Keep the height difference between the filter housing and the oil level in the tank as low as possible. Take note that hoses must be suitable for pressures of at least -0.5 bar. Constrictions in the connections and lines should be avoided. This could compromise suction output and cause cavitation . Take note that the nominal size of the connected hoses/piping must be at least as large as the inlet port sizes. Make sure that no stresses or vibrations are transmitted to the filter housing. Use hoses or expansion joints if necessary.

To avoid pressure surges on the filter housing, fill the filter housing slowly for commissioning or after changing the filter element. Observe the following points during operation:

• permissible operating temperature

• permissible operating pressure

• permissible differential pressure at the filter element

Observe the clogging indicator The filter housing is equipped with or without clogging indicators depending on the version. Please observe the clogging indicators as described below.

Observe the optical clogging indicator Replace the filter element when the red marking becomes visible in the clogging indicator.

Observe the electric clogging indicator If the filter has an electric clogging indicator, an electrical switching signal will be emitted when it is time to change the filter element. Exchange the filter element as soon as the clogging indicator emits the electrical signal.

WARNING Hydraulic systems are under pressure

Danger of bodily injury

► The hydraulic system must be depressurized before performing any work on the hydraulic system.

MRF1 E - Changing filter element To change the filter, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the pump and make sure it cannot be inadvertently switched back on.

2. Close off the shut-off valve on the suction and pressure side.

3. Depressurize the filter housing.

4. To empty the filter housing, carefully unscrew the drain screw plug (2) at the bottom end of the filter bowl in a clockwise direction using a 6 mm Allen wrench. Collect the escaping fluid with a suitable container (1).

5. Loosen the coupling nut (1) by turning it in

a clockwise direction and then remove the filter bowl (2).

Use a strap wrench to remove the coupling nuts.

6. Remove the used filter element from the

element mount and dispose of it properly.

7. Clean the sealing surfaces on the filter head and filter bowl.

8. Clean the sealing surface on the filter

head. Check the O ring for visible signs of damage and, if necessary, replace it. Wet the O ring with hydraulic fluid and insert it.

9. For easy installation of the filter element, wet the O-ring on the filter element with the operating medium.

10. Carefully press the new filter element into

the element mount by applying slight pressure, pressing it upwards and screwing it in.

Do not use excessive force or a hammer, etc.

11. (1) Before screwing the union nut back on, apply lubricant to it. Recommended lubricant: - for plastic nut -> Vaseline white

(HYDAC p/no. 632391) - for stainless steel unions -> lubricant

containing a slip additive (MoS2) (HYDAC p/no.: 3066287)

(2) Screw the filter bowl over the coupling nut onto the filter head in a counterclockwise direction. When doing this, screw the union nut hand tight only.

12. Open the shut-off valves on the inlet and outlet side slowly in order to prevent pressure surges onto the filter.

13. Check the filter for possible leaks.

14. The filter housing is ready for operation.
