Engine Filters decrease flow restriction.
Press Release Summary:
Dual-Flow(TM) Lube Filters provide protection during high idle times, harsh operating conditions, and extended or prolonged service intervals. Design provides low initial restriction to protect engines during cold start-ups and includes heavy-duty steel baseplate and steel retainer welded to media pack end cap. Stacked element design utilizes full-flow element with 100% synthetic Microglass(TM) media and partial-flow element with cellulose media.
Original Press Release:
Baldwin High Velocity Dual-Flow(TM) Filters Increase Capacity, Decrease Flow Restriction
Baldwin Filters has redesigned its dual-flow lube filters used on Cummins ISM, ISX and Series 600 engines. The High Velocity Dual-Flow line of lube filters provides improved engine protection during high idle time, harsh operating conditions and extended or prolonged service intervals.
The design has been upgraded to provide low initial restriction to protect engines during cold start-ups. The design includes a new, heavy-duty steel baseplate and a new steel retainer welded to the media pack end cap, entrapping a post seal.
The patent pending, stacked element design utilizes a high efficiency full-flow element with 100% synthetic Microglass(TM) media and a partial-flow element with cellulose media designed to minimize flow restriction. A venturi-type cone balances the flow between the elements, taking advantage of the positive filtering properties of each, and maximizing filter performance from cold starts to normal operating conditions.
The new design departs from the previous serial-flow concept to employ a parallel-flow path that increases capacity by 10% and reduces initial flow restriction by 30%.
Baldwin Filters, a CLARCOR company, produces over 5,000 lube, air, fuel, coolant, hydraulic and transmission filtration products for most applications, and can be purchased from distributors worldwide.
