Oil Filters

The lubricating oil circulates through the air compressor system, providing necessary lubrication to moving parts. Over time, this oil can become contaminated with particles such as dust, metal shavings, and other debris that enter the system. Additionally, the natural degradation of the oil itself can produce varnish, sludge, and carbon deposits. These contaminants, if not filtered out, can lead to increased friction, overheating, and ultimately, premature failure of the air air compressor's internal mechanisms.

C16011.251 compressor spare part oil filter element cartridge is able to remove contaminants from the lubricating oil, thereby protecting the internal components of the air compressor from wear and damage. Its design allows for the effective capture of impurities while still permitting the free flow of oil at the required rate. The filter element's performance is measured by its ability to trap particles of a certain size, denoted in microns, and by its capacity, which refers to the amount of contaminant it can hold before needing replacement.
