Kleenoil Filter System Cartridges

Description: The Kleenoil Bypass Filter Cartridge is made of densely wound pure coniferous long fiber wood pulp paper. It is held together in a material casing and comes in specified sizes for use in the appropriate filtration units.

Action of the cartridge:  The filtration cartridge acts both by absorption and by adsorption in a continuous recycling process. The long fibers of the paper attract the water formed either through the combustion process or by condensation and absorb it like a sponge, at the same time rejecting the large oil molecules which are forced to pass between the tight windings of the cartridge. As the oil passes through the cartridge, minute carbon, wear metals, and silicon particles are extracted from the oil by adhering to the many surfaces of the filter - a process known as adsorption. Thus the cartridge, by removing water inhibits the production of acids which both degrade the oil and cause excessive wear.
