Study Notes

Filter Purpose

Filters are used to remove contaminants from air and fluid systems.
Contaminants can damage components and lead to system failure.

Filter Components

Filters may include a differential pressure switch or indicator ("pop-out indicator") for monitoring pressure.
A drain plug allows for removing trapped contaminants.

How Filters Work

The filter element removes contaminants.
Excessive contamination can clog the filter element.
Clogging leads to higher pressure upstream of the filter element.
This pressure triggers the differential pressure switch, activating the bypass valve.
The bypass valve allows unfiltered fluid to bypass the filter element.
