Oil filter CCU

for shipsengineself-cleaning

Alfa Laval lubricating oil filters provide full-flow filtration of lubricating oils for trunk piston and crosshead engines. Types 160, 240, 280 and 350 cover all lubricating oil flows. They can also be fitted with an Eliminator combination, which provides better protection and extends the oil lifetime. Alfa Laval automatic lube oil filter systems are designed specifically for full-flow filtering of the lubricating oils used in trunk piston and crosshead engines. Their extremely effective filtering prevents contaminants from entering sensitive parts of the engine, thus reducing engine wear and boosting reliability. Their compact, space-saving design makes them easy to install and to retrofit as upgrades to existing installations. The continuous backflushing that is a core feature of Alfa Laval automatic lube oil filter systems prevents any solids adhering to the filter surfaces – which means no manual cleaning of filter elements is required. The filters therefore run with more than 12,000 operating hours between cleaning and inspection. In addition, there is only a low, constant pressure drop across the filter elements, which reduces the risk of them cracking. During backflushing there is no pressure drop at all. The near-constant pressure in the engine’s lubricating oil system makes it easier to detect any malfunctions, simply by registering pressure changes.
