LYC Series Coalescing Oil Filters: Eliminating Moisture for Longer Oil Lifespan

Introduction  

Moisture in industrial oil (hydraulic, lubricating, or turbine oil) accelerates oxidation, corrosion, and additive degradation—shortening oil life by up to 50%. The LYC Series Coalescing Oil Filters address this critical issue with advanced coalescing-separating technology, efficiently removing 99.9% of free and emulsified water while filtering particles down to 3μm.

Perfect for high-humidity environments like marine vessels, mining sites, or outdoor machinery, these filters reduce oil replacement frequency by 60% on average, cutting maintenance costs and minimizing equipment downtime caused by moisture-related failures.

Operation

1. The machine consists of a motor-driven gear pump, dedicating low noise, strong self-absorption capacity, and smooth running characteristics.

2. The high-pressure pipe with overflow protection devices, which can efectively protect the safety of the hydraulic system.

3. The use of thermal relay protection to prevent motor damage caused by motor overload.

4. Coarse filtration of suction port can protect the pump and extend the life of the main filter.

5. After the pump has two precision filters,so the oil can quickly reach high cleanliness.

6. First precision filter can filter out the larger particles of impurities, and secondary precision filter can filter out smaller particles or moisture.

7. The precision filter chosen by different users for different precision, can provide better protection for the system.

8. Precision oil filtration housing with quick open structure, which can quickly open the cover and replace the filter without any tools.

9. Pressure gauge equipped on the panel, can show the continuous indication of the degree of contamination of the system operating conditions and filter.

Q&A: Your Concerns, Answered

Q1: How do I choose the right filtration precision for my needs?
A1: Select based on system requirements. For general hydraulic systems, 10–20μm is sufficient; for high-precision equipment (e.g., servo valves), 3–5μm is recommended. The B series offers tertiary filtration for extreme cleanliness needs.

Q2: How often should the filters be replaced?
A2: Monitor the pressure gauge—when pressure loss exceeds 0.01 MPa, replace the filter. In typical industrial use, this occurs every 200–500 operating hours (varies by oil contamination level).

Q3: Can the LYC filter handle high-viscosity oils?
A3: Yes, it supports viscosities of 10–160 CSt, covering most industrial oils (hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, turbine oil, etc.). For oils above 160 CSt, contact us for customized configurations.

Q4: What’s the difference between A and B series?
A4: The A series has two filtration stages (coarse + secondary precision), while the B series adds a tertiary precision filter—ideal for applications requiring ultra-clean oil (e.g., aerospace, precision machinery).
