Tokyo Motor Show 2004

Exhibited New Filter Module

The Company presented its new filter modules for lubricating oil and fuel. In addition to saving space, they offer an increase in efficiency and service life.

The combination of an efficient two-stage water separator and new separating media provides the KM 35 fuel filter module with reliable protection for modern diesel injection units like time controlled distributor injection, unit injectors, pump line injector systems and common rail systems - in even the smallest of spaces. The new oil filter module uses an efficient jet centrifuge in the bypass that is especially effective against dirt caused by soot.

<Fuel management systems>

While in the past the fuel systems of a commercial vehicle included a pre-filter, in some cases with a water separator and a main filter, the Company's current diesel fuel filter modules combine these and many other functions into a single module.

Function and filtration
To maximize the service life of modern commercial vehicle engines, the Company's filter systems prepare fuel optimally for the combustion process. Very precise component tolerances in modern diesel injection systems require highly separating filter media. Another trend is longer maintenance intervals. The Company also offers multi-layer filter media for operation under severe conditions, for example construction site vehicles or poor fuel quality.

The first melt-blown filter layer, consisting of extremely thin synthetic fibers, acts as a deep end filter, which is used together with an ultra fine filter made of cellulose carrier materials. These multi-layer filter elements offer a higher level of particle separation than earlier conventional cellulose materials and last at least as long.

Water separation
A two-stage water separation system was implemented in the Company's fuel filter module, the KM 35, which is use in medium to heavy commercial vehicles. It also disperses very fine and stable emulsion effectively.

The coaxial arrangement of the particle filter creates an integrated coalescence effect. A final hydrophobic separator ensures a multi-level separation process, a reliable fuel supply while protecting the engine under all operating conditions.

The standard range of the KM 35 module also includes an automatic filter drain when changing elements for prefilters and main filters as well as elements for metal free filters. Maintenance indicators are optional, as are electrical heaters, water level sensors, manual pumps, fuel coolers, bypass valves for prefilters and dirt cans for main filters.

The range of options includes both cost optimized, additional heaters and intelligent self-regulating heat modules that are activated in the filter depending on how much paraffin is present. The wide selection of additional electrical heaters is rounded out by bimetallically controlled preheater valves and thermostatic controllers with expandable wax elements.

Easy maintenance
To increase ease of maintenance when changing elements, dirt cans with automatic drain function may also be used. A new pump design ensures reliable suction of fuel even at the lowest operating temperatures when filling or venting the filter. A wide range of maintenance indicators also takes into consideration applications with alternative fuel filters such as FAME (fatty acid methylester) or biodiesel.

Advantages of the Company's fuel filter modules
-Multi-layer melt-blown filter media for the separation of extremely fine particles
-Efficient water separation in a compact design
-Service friendly maintenance possible
-Environmentally friendly metal free filter insert
-Customer specific applications
-Modular system structure

<Modern oil filtration: centrifugal force and new media>

Against a background of dramatically increased requirements for oil filters, the Company's latest development projects aims to further extend service intervals and provide optimal protection for engine components.

Longer service interval
Mixed fiber filter media consist of cellulose fibers in to which up to 30% plastic fibers are mixed. In addition to a considerable increase in dirt capacity, this also results in an improvement in resistance to aging of the oil. This makes it possible to achieve service intervals of up to 50,000 km in passenger car applications, and as much as 150,000 km for commercial vehicles.

Fully synthetic
The Company offers a fully synthetic filter element with a filter medium made from a combination of actual filter materials, polyester fibers and plastic support fabric. Embedded in plastic end disks, it is completely metal free and therefore fully able to be incinerated completely.
