RFRFDFilters.JPG (96100 bytes) APPLICATION
bulletHYCON RF and RFD In-Tank Return Line Filters are designed for use on hydraulic power units, machine tools, plastics machinery, mobile equipment, and hydraulic test equipment.
bulletThese filters are also suitable for lubrication and coolant filtration applications.
bulletThese filters can be installed in the reservoir on the return side of the system to capture all system-generated contamination.
bulletThese filters can also be used as In-line Return Line Filters.

PRODUCT FEATURES

bulletNon-welded housing design reduces stress concentrations and prevents fatigue failure.
bulletInlet/outlet port options include NPT port, SAE straight thread O-ring boss, and SAE 4-bolt flange to allow easy installation without costly adaptors.
bulletO-ring seals are used to provide positive, reliable sealing. Choice of O-ring materials (Buna-N, Fluorocarbon, EPR) provides compatibility with petroleum oils, synthetic fluids, water-glycols, oil/water emulsions, and high water base fluids.
bulletBolt-on lid (RF 30 lid screws on) requires minimal clearance for removal.
bulletReusable contamination basket prevents loss of retained contaminants into the reservoir during element replacement.
bulletClogging indicators can be serviced without interruption of the hydraulic system.
bulletAll RFD duplex filters have a ball-type selector valve to provide continuous filtration without system shut-down to change clogged elements.

bulletHYCON RF and RFD filters are available with disposable BetamicronŽ BNHC elements having 250 PSID collapse pressure and absolute ratings of 3, 5, 10 and 20 micron.
bulletHYCON RF and RFD filters are also available with cleanable elements. Wire screen (W) elements have a 250 PSID collapse pressure and nominal ratings of 25, 74, 149 microns.
bulletFor applications which do not require fine filtration, disposable HYCON paper (P) elements may be selected. Paper elements have a 145 PSID collapse pressure and nominal ratings of 10 and 20 microns.
bulletAll filter media is supported to achieve flow fatigue resistance.
bulletProper support of the filter media also provides high Beta Ratio values (particle removal efficiency) even at high differential pressures. The efficiency of many competitive elements drastically deteriorates as the element clogs and differential pressure increases.
bulletHigh quality epoxy adhesive is used to bond the end caps to the media and to bond the seam of the media.
bulletAll elements available for HYCON RF and RFD filters have the bypass valve built into the filter element. As a result, a new bypass valve is provided each time the element is changed, making it less likely that a bypass valve will stick open, jam, or fail through fatigue.
