Nelson/Winslow® Full-Flow And Bypass Lube Oil Filters
For Gas and Diesel Engine Applications
Oxidation & Nitration
Today's engine manufacturers are aware of the problems due to oxidation
and nitration of the engine lube oil, the formation of lacquers and
varnishes. This is especially true of high speed, natural gas engines.
These contaminants, as well as the particulate contaminants in the oil,
will severely shorten engine life unless removed. Today's popular
pleated media filters quickly plug when subjected to these contaminants
causing bypass valves to open and exposing the engine components to
unfiltered oil. The result: 1) short oil life, 2) short filter life,
and most important, 3) short engine life.
Lube Oil Filter Types
| Full-flow - 100% of the engine lube oil is filtered. |
|
| Bypass - used in conjunction with the full-flow filter, a percentage of the oil is filtered through the bypass filter. |
Nelson/Winslow Bypass Filters
Numerous tests have proven the benefits of adding a bypass filter to
an engine. Choosing the right bypass filter can remove particulate
and chemical contaminants that cannot effectively be controlled by
standard engine oil filters.
Nelson/Winslow Chemically Treated
Bypass Filters
The Nelson/Winslow chemically treated bypass lube oil filter has
protected many gas engines running on digester and landfill gas.
These engines quickly develop acids in the oil due to the sulfur and/or
halogen chemicals, and water present in these fuels. The chemically
treated bypass filter element neutralizes these acids to prevent
shortened oil life and premature engine failure common for engines
running on these fuels.
