OFFLINE FILTRATION

OLF Compact
FEATURES
The OLF Compact filter is
designed to be used offline to
efficiently and cost effectively
filter standard hydraulic oils
which are highly contaminated.
The OLF Compact is specifically
designed to be used on
hydraulic systems with a
reservoir volume of up to 200
gallons (800 liters). The
standard filters can be supplied
either as ready to install
offline units complete with
motor and pump units as
shown or as individual filters.

®
DIMICRON TECHNOLOGY
Dimicron® technology, which
incorporates membrane filtration,
sets the OLF apart from
conventional filters by providing
it with exceptional dirt holding
capacity and separation
efficiency. Each filter element
is able to capture and hold
approximately 150 grams of
dirt. Membrane filtration
provides the OLF Compact
with a separation efficiency
over 99.5% for particles 2
micron and larger (ß2 > 200),
even in a single pass.

The contamination input selected above must be multiplied by the factor: Maximum Attainable Cleanliness Level (ISO)
Main System Flow Rate / Desired Offline Flow Rate
This yields the expression:
Main System Flow Rate (gpm)
Contamination Factor = Contamination Input (µg/gal) x
Desired Offline Flow Rate (gpm)
Calculate the contamination factor using this expression.
Step 3: Determine the attainable cleanliness level. Locate the calculated contamination factor on the y-axis of the graph
above. Go to the right to find the intersection point on the curve corresponding to the desired absolute filter micron rating.
Read the resulting attainable cleanliness level on the x-axis. (In case of dynamic flow through the offline filter, the attainable
cleanliness level will be 2 to 3 times worse than indicated by the graph.)

Offline Filtration Sizing Example

Type of System: Injection Molding Machine
Surroundings: Normal
Main System Flow Rate: 25 GPM
Desired Offline Flow Rate: 1.5 GPM (OLF 5)

Step 1: Using this criterion select the approximate contamination ingression rate from the chart above.
This yields a contamination input of 6 µg/gal based on an injection molding machine with normal surroundings.

Step 2: Make the correction required for offline filtration.

Contamination Factor = 6 µg/gal x 25 gpm / 1.5 gpm = 100 µg/gal

Step 3: Determine the approximate attainable cleanliness level for each micron rating using the graph above. If the
attainable cleanliness level is not acceptable, the desired offline flow rate should be increased. The approximate attainable
level for this example is as follows.
