PH 426-XX-CG1V Element

High flow cartridge with improved, lower pressure drop
The move today is towards cleaner fuel, lube oil, and hydraulic
oil. With lube and hydraulic oils, cleaner fluid means less wear
on moving parts, improved performance, and reduced downtime. Cleaner fuel means less wear on injectors which reduces
the possibility of increased fuel consumption, idle speed creep,
and dilution of lube oil.
One way to obtain cleaner fluids is to use more efficient filters.
Tightening the filtration of the filter cartridges can produce
cleaner oil. But it’s really not quite that simple.
If you are using a cartridge made of cellulose paper, tightening
the efficiency of the cartridge will increase the pressure drop.
The cartridge will also load up faster because it is catching
more contaminant. This will result in more frequent cartridge
replacement.
However, changing from less efficient cellulose cartridges to a
more efficient PH cartridge could result in an actual decrease in
pressure drop. PH cartridges have screened, synthetic media
designed for high flows.
Synthetic media used in the PH cartridges makes it impervious
to water. As a result, the cartridge is well suited for steam
turbine lube and hydraulic oils.
