High-pressure filtration is a critical element in many industrial processes where hydraulic or lubrication fluids are used. If not urgently addressed, contaminants present in these fluids can lead to equipment damage and system failure. As a solution, the HYDAC high-pressure filter provides an effective and efficient means of filtration for fluids under high pressure.
In this blog post, we examine how these high-pressure filters work, why they are essential to industrial processes, and the benefits they bring to your systems.
High-Pressure Filter Working Principle
The HYDAC high-pressure filter works through a three-stage filtration system. As the fluid enters the filter, it passes through a prefilter that captures larger contaminants and protects the following stages of the filter.
In the second stage, the fluid flows through the analytical filter element, which reduces the number of solid particles in the fluid. In the final stage, the fluid passes through the final filter, removing any remaining contaminants and improving fluid quality.
Why High-Pressure Filters Are Essential for Industrial Processes
Industries need high-quality hydraulic and lubrication fluids to ensure the reliable and efficient operation of their machines and equipment. High-pressure filtration plays an important role in maintaining fluid quality.
Without high-pressure filters, contaminants such as dirt, debris, and moisture can accumulate in the fluid or equipment systems, resulting in component damage, fluid degradation, clogging, and even complete system failure.
Applying HYDAC High-Pressure Filters in Industrial Processes
When it comes to implementing HYDAC filters, three factors require consideration: the fluid type, operating temperature, and pressure requirements. Other essential factors include flow rate, filtration efficiency, and space limitations. To optimize filter performance, HYDAC recommends that fluid be checked regularly by qualified personnel to ensure that it meets the prescribed specifications.
