PRESSURE DROP (∆p) INFORMATION FOR FILTER SIZING

The total Delta P through a filter assembly is given from Housing ∆p + Element ∆p.This ideally should not exceed
0,5 bar for return application (it should never exceed 1/3 of the set value of the by-pass valve).
N.B. All the reported data have been obtained at our laboratory, according to specification ISO3968 with miner-
al oil having 32 cSt viscosity and density 0,875 Kg/dm 3.

HOUSING PRESSURE DROP

The housing ∆p is given by the curve of the considered model and port, in correspondence of the flow rate value.

FAH SERIES 7/10

ELEMENT PRESSURE DROP

The element ∆p (bar) is given by the flow rate (l/min) multiplied by the factor in the table here below correspon-
ding to the selected media and divided by 1000. If the oil has a viscosity Vx different than 32 cSt a corrective
factor Vx/32 must be applied.
Example: 120 l/min with A150G25 and oil viscosity 46 cSt: (120 x 1,41)/1000 x (46/32)= 0,24 bar
Example: 120 l/min with (*1) 2x A150G25 and oil viscosity 46 cSt: (120 x 0,71)/1000 x (46/32)= 0,12 bar

EXAMPLE OF TOTAL ∆p CALCULATION

FAHA150G25BB6DS000S0 with 120 l/min and oil 46 cSt:
Housing ∆p 0,19 bar + element ∆p 0,24 bar (120 x 1,41)/1000 x (46/32) = Total assembly ∆p 0,43 bar.

FAHDA150G25BB7DS000S0 with 120 l/min and oil 46 cSt:

Housing ∆p 0,05 bar + element ∆p 0,12 bar (120 x 0,71)/1000 x (46/32) = Total assembly ∆p 0,17 bar

BYPASS VALVE PRESSURE DROP

The bypass valve ∆p is given by the curve of the considered model and setting, in correspondence of the flow rate
value.

USER TIPS INSTALLATION

1. the IN and OUT ports must be connected to the

4
2 hoses in the correct flow direction (an arrow
2 shows on the filter head (1)
1 FILTER HEAD 2. the filter housing should be preferably mounted
with the cartridge (3) downward
2 FIXING HOLES 3. secure to the frame the filter head (1) using the
1 threaded fixing holes (2)
3 FILTER CARTRIDGE 4. verify that no tension is present on the filter after
mounting
4 IDENTIFICATION LABEL 5. enough space must be available for filter
element cartridge replacement
6. the visual clogging indicator must be in a easily
viewable position
7. when a electrical indicator is used, make sure
that it is properly wired
8. never run the system with no filter element
fitted
9. keep in stock a spare FILTREC filter element for
timely replacement when required

OPERATION

1. the filter must work within the operating

conditions of pressure, temperature and
compatibility given in the first page of this data
sheet
CARTRIDGE TIGHTENING TORQUE 2. the filter element must be replaced as soon
as the clogging indicator signals at working
All models 3/4 turn temperature (in cold start conditions, oil
temperature lower than 30°C, a false alarm can
be given due to oil viscosity)
