5 | Mounting/installing HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH Make sure there is adequate removal space (A) for changing the filter element. In order to make the filter element change easier, install shut-off devices in the immediate vicinity of the filter housing (B).
HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH Mounting/installing | 5 5.2 Avoiding siphoning If there is a height difference ΔH between the suction side and pressure side container side / system, the low lying line can develop a suction effect and trigger the siphoning effect be- tween the communicating containers / systems.
Page 38
5 | Mounting/installing HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH After the filter unit is switched off, the height difference/pri- mary pressure can cause flow to occur both in the feed direc- tion and against the feed direction and the fluid can leak un- controllably.
HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH Mounting/installing | 5 5.3 Observing/calculating pressure loss The pressure loss in a hydraulic line depends upon: – Flow – Kinematic viscosity – Pipe dimensions – Fluid density The pressure loss can be estimated as follows for mineral oil- based hydraulic oils: Fig. 17: Pressure loss formula...
