Overview
Revolutionary Hydraulic Filter Media
Hydraulic systems experience dynamic, challenging operating environments in the real world, including ever-changing surge-and-flow conditions. To simulate actual operating conditions, the new ISO 23369 standard was developed that recognizes the importance of measuring performance as cycles and flow changes, instead of steady-state multi-pass flow (ISO 16889). This is one of the most significant recent developments in hydraulic filtration test standards, and it’s causing dramatic changes to filter technology, spurring the creation of media that performs better in contaminant retention under these ever-changing pressure and flow conditions.
With the 2021 industry ratification of ISO 23369, lab testing for hydraulic filtration more closely replicates the varying, or “cyclic” flow rates of real-world filter working conditions. This evolution of hydraulic filtration test standards has opened the door for new technology solutions.
Steady Flow ISO 16889
Cyclic Flow ISO 23369
The fine-fiber layer of Alpha-Web media enables high filtration efficiency during cyclic flow conditions, while minimizing dynamic events where particles are dislodged as the fluid flow changes. Alpha-Web is designed for enhanced filtration efficiency that is effective in real-world operating conditions.
To better protect your hydraulic equipment, you need filtration that’s been developed and tested to handle challenging operating conditions effectively and efficiently. Donaldson Alpha-Web hydraulic filtration technology offers that protection.
Features
Traps and Locks Particles
Alpha-Web filtration media features a first-of-its-kind fine-fiber layer to trap and lock particles during frequent flow-rate changes, which delivers transformational improvement in hydraulic equipment protection.
Cleaner oil. Less downtime. Better performance.
Better contaminant retention through filtration results in cleaner oil and helps to ensure that equipment will continue to perform better, and longer, with a lower risk of wear, damage, and unplanned downtime. Through *testing, Alpha-Web has been shown to improve hydraulic fluid cleanliness levels by 2 ISO codes over synthetic media, resulting in up to 4x cleaner hydraulic fluid and extended component life. According to the Equipment Life Extension Table by Noria Corporation, the industry-accepted authority on fluid cleanliness, an improvement in fluid cleanliness by two ISO codes can extend component life by 60 percent.
