Description
Alfa Laval 290 Filter Applications
The Alfa Laval 290 filter is equipped with innovative Alfa Laval Atrium technology, which enables continuous automatic backflushing filters with virtually no pressure drop, even in the case of fine filtration. This innovative technology makes it possible to employ a large filtering area using less space than conventional automatic backflushing filters.
It also improves backflushing efficiency due to enhanced distribution method that more effectively disperses the unfiltered oil to be cleaned.
Benefits
Maximum engine protection, minimal engine wear: The Alfa Laval 290 filter provides fine filtration of particles in oil down to 6 micron in size – with virtually no pressure drop. Its small footprint and large filtration surface area ensure proper engine lubrication and minimal engine wear, thereby safeguarding engine operation.
Compact and versatile – The Alfa Laval 290 filter offers up to 30% more filter surface area compared to conventional filters with the same footprint. Its footprint can be made even more compact when the filter is integrated directly into the engine.
Easy to install, operate and maintain – No additional electrical power, air connection or dedicated tank is required. The Alfa Laval 290 filter is designed for start-and-forget operation. Large filtering area reduces stress on the filter mesh, thereby prolonging the intervals between inspection. In addition, maintenance is quick and easy because there are few parts to disassemble.
Reduced total cost of ownership – The Alfa Laval 290 filter is perfectly suited for improving total cost of ownership. Long-lasting wear parts reduce spares consumption and maintenance costs are reduced to minimum. In addition, lubrication oil lifespan can be increased by up to four times if installed with the optional Alfa Laval Eliminator configuration. Diversion-type filters also are an alternative to traditional cartridge-consuming backflush treatment devices.
