Influence of oil concentration on hydraulic filter

The hydraulic filter is a good helper for filtering various impurities in the oil in the hydraulic system. According to the specifications of the hydraulic filter element, impurities with different particle sizes can be filtered.

Generally speaking, if it is not a very precise instrument and equipment, the filter element of the hydraulic filter can meet the basic filtration requirements if it is of ordinary specifications.

However, it should be noted at this time that the concentration of the oil should not be too high. If the concentration of the oil used in the hydraulic system is too high, the speed of flowing through the hydraulic filter will become very slow, which not only affects the filtering efficiency of the hydraulic filter, but also affects the oil supply of the hydraulic system.

In addition, if the high concentration oil flowing in the hydraulic system is inadvertently mixed with impurities, it will produce great friction during the flow process, which will not only cause great damage to the hydraulic filter, but also affect the hydraulic system parts.

Therefore, in order to protect the hydraulic filter and other parts in the hydraulic system, when we select the oil, if there are no special requirements, the oil with appropriate concentration is a very good choice.
