Filtration of Engine Lubricating Oil: Centrifugal versus Pack Type Filters

Abstract

The effectiveness of an oil filter and of the method in which it is employed is judged by the level of lubricating quality it maintains in the bearings and other sliding parts of the engine. The word “quality” here includes freedom from dirt (particularly from those dirt particles which, by their size and composition, are likely to cause abrasive wear) and the presence in sufficient quantity of those additives which the modern refiner incorporates in Heavy Duty oils to reduce oxidation, piston‐ring sticking and other ills.
