Oil Filters

88290014-484 oil filter element removes solid contaminants from the lubricating oil that circulates within the air compressor system. These contaminants can include metal shavings, dust, and other debris that could potentially cause damage to the compressor's internal components if left unfiltered. By capturing these particles, the oil filter element helps to prevent abrasion, wear, and corrosion, which can lead to premature failure of critical parts such as bearings, gears, and the air oil separator.

Moreover, the oil filter element contributes to the overall thermal efficiency of the compressor by maintaining oil cleanliness. Clean oil has better heat transfer properties, which is vital for effective cooling of the compressed air and the compressor's internal components. This cooling function is crucial for preventing overheating, which can adversely affect the performance and longevity of the compressor.
