This filter element belongs to the filter element used in "Candle Filter", which is named because of its slender shape similar to a candle. It is widely used in the filtration of ship fuel, lubricating oil, heavy oil and other systems.

Main Features:

 Type: Candle Filter Element

 Application: Mainly used for fuel filtration (diesel, light fuel) of ship engines, and may also be used in lubricating oil systems. Its function is to protect expensive fuel injection pumps and engines from damage by moisture and solid particles.

 Structure:

 End cover: Usually metal (steel or aluminum), with a central screw hole and a sealing ring for fixing to the filter cover.

 Filter material: Usually cellulose, glass fiber (synthetic fiber) or a composite material of the two. Glass fiber has higher efficiency and longer life.

 Support layer: There is a metal mesh or punched metal tube inside to support it and withstand the pressure difference.

 Seals: Oil-resistant rubber seals (such as nitrile rubber (NBR)) are typically installed at the top and bottom to ensure a tight seal.

 Filtration Rating: Typically used for secondary fine filtration or final filtration. Typical filtration ratings range from 10 to 30 microns. Please consult the specific product's technical manual for the exact micron rating.

Key Parameters (general specifications, details subject to actual product):

 Connection Thread: Typically uses a metric fine thread such as M20x1.5 or M18x1.5 (for tightening onto the filter housing).

 Seals: One or more O-rings are located at the top and bottom.

 

Main Applications:

 Diesel/fuel filtration systems for ship main engines and auxiliary generators.  Marine lubricating oil filtration system.

 Fine filtration of other heavy-duty diesel engines
