Test of Oil Filters on Laboratory Test Device

Abstract This article describes the testing of oil filters on a laboratory test device designed to monitor changes in oil filter flow and pressure, depending on the level of engine oil contamination. The laboratory test device enables testing the suitability of using filters with different filtering capabilities, even with differently polluted engine oil. The measurement results can be used in the design of new filter materials, or in the design of changing replacement intervals, which would mean a benefit from an economic as well as an ecological point of view.
