Oil Filters

W1170 air compressor part oil filter element cartridge removes solid and liquid contaminants from the oil circulating within the air compressor. These contaminants can include dust, dirt, metal particles, and carbon deposits that arise from the wear and tear of the compressor's moving parts. By filtering out these impurities, the oil remains cleaner for a longer period, thereby reducing wear, extending the life of the air compressor, and ensuring consistent performance.

The oil filter element works by allowing the oil to pass through its porous media. As the oil flows through the media, the contaminants are trapped on the surface and within the pores. Over time, as more contaminants are trapped, the filter element's efficiency can decrease, which necessitates regular inspection and replacement.
