The arrows in Fig 18-1 show the flow through the filter. At first, the oil flows through the inlet flange and turbine (1) to the bottom end of the filter candles (2); a partial stream of about 50 % is passed through the central connection tube (3) to the top end of the filter candles. This means that the oil flows through the filter candles at both ends from inside outwards and most of the dirt particles are retained in the inside of the candles. The oil filtered in this way now passes through the safety filter (4) to the filter outlet. The flow energy drives the turbine (1) installed in the inlet flange. The high speed of the turbine is reduced by the worm gear unit (5) and gear (6) to the lower speed required for turning the flushing arms (16, 17). The individual filter candles are now connected successively to the flushing line by means of continuosly rotating flushing arms (16, 17) and the flushing bush (7). Flow during back-flushing, from outside of the candles to the inside through flushing arms in to the flushing line. The resultant turbulent stream in the longitudial direction of the filter candles (cross-flow back flushing) and the counter flow back-flushing through the filter candles result in a particularly effective and lasting back-flushing action. The lower pressure in the interior of the filter candles during the back-flushing operation (connected with the centrifugal filter) and the higher pressure (operating pressure) outside the filter candles produce a counter-flow through the mesh from the clean filter side through the dirty filter side to the centrifugal filter. Should for any reason the filter candles no longer be adequately cleaned, the overflow valves (10) are opened at a differential pressure of 2 bar upwards and the oil is only filtered through the safety filter (4). However, before this situation arises, the installed LO differential pressure switch PDS243 emits an alarm, at 1.5 bar differential pressure, to the alarm system. At the same time the visual differential pressure indicator (located after the LO-filter) becomes red. The cause must now be localised and remedied. The filter may only be operated in this emergency condition for a short time (opened overflow valves and differential pressure alarm). Prolonged operation in this mode can result in damage to downstream components. The overflow valves are closed under normal operating conditions, even during start-up at lower fluid temperatures.

Appendix 18N

18N.1.2 Maintenance
Even with automatic filters inspections and maintenance must be performed at regular intervals. It is extremely important to remember that in spite of constant back-flushing the mesh may become clogged over the course of time, depending on the quality of the oil. In order to maintain trouble-free operation, the following aspects are to be observed during maintenance: 1 Check filter and connections for leakages. 2 Conduct visual inspection of all filter candles once a year. Note! Should a higher differential pressure occur beforehand, all the filter candles (2) and the safety filter (4) must be checked and, if necessary, cleaned or the candles are to be replaced by new ones. A highly contaminated safety filter is a sign of prolonged operation with defective or clogged filter candles and thus (from a differential pressure of 2 bar upwards) opened overflow valves. It is imperative to check these components. 3 Check the ease of movement of the worm gear unit (5), the turbine (1) including gear (6) with flushing arms (16, 17). To do this the cover (13) and the complete filter element pack must be removed. 4 Replace the O-rings as and when required. It is advisable to replace all static seals during an overhaul and when opened. 18N.1.2.1 Filter candle inspection and cleaning 1 Drain the filter , open the screw plug (11) then open the screw plug (8). Do not refill the system with drained oil because it is very dirty. 2 Remove the cover (13) by opening the nuts. 3 Pull the entire filter element including flushing arms (16, 17) and gear (6) out of the housing. Note! Make sure that the exposed gear (6) is not damaged.

4 Remove the topp flushing arm (17) and the upper cover plate (9) 5 Remove the end plate (14) by opening the screws. 6 The filter candles (2) and safety filter (4) can now be removed. 7 Place the filter candles and the safety filter in a suitable cleaner or diesel oil, max. soaking time 24 hours.

8 After immersing clean them from the outside inwards using high pressure. It must be ensured that the filter candles are cleaned at a pressure of max. 60 bar and at a minimum distance of cleaning nozzle of 20 cm. Otherwise, damage to the mesh is possible. To get a optimal cleaning effect it is recommended to use special highpressure cleaning unit (Part No. 471345) and cleaner (Part No.471346). During cleaning the candles must be held so that the dirt is able to drain unhindered. 9 Clean the parts and check the overflow valves. Replace worn parts if necessary. 10 Mount the safety filter (4) and the end plate (14). Note the position of the guiding pin. 11 Before the filter candles are installed, they must be visually inspected and damaged candles replaced with new ones. Note! Defective filter candles must not be used again.

12 Mount the filter candles in position by chamfered end towards the bottom flushing arm. Before installation of the entire filter element, the ease of motion of the flushing facility must be checked. The bottom flushing arm (16) must not grind against the bottom filter plate (15) . 13 Push the entire filter element into the housing. By slightly turning the coupling pipe (12), the gear (6) is forced into the drive pinion of the gear unit (5). Re-assemble the filter in the reverse sequence to that described above.
