Application Notes

Protection of the lube-oil pumps in the MAN 48/60 marine engine against larger dirt particles that may accumulate in the lube-oil service tank. FIL-004 is specified as a cone-type suction strainer with a mesh size of 1.5 mm.

Additional Notes

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Suction Strainer forms part of the lubricating-oil system and is identified as FIL-004 in MAN documentation. The strainer is installed on the suction side of the lube-oil system and is intended to protect the lube-oil pumps against larger dirt particles that may accumulate in the lube-oil service tank. MAN specifies a cone-type strainer with a mesh size of 1.5 mm for this application. The strainer provides coarse protection upstream of the lube-oil pumps and complements the finer filtration stages within the lube-oil system. The exact construction, installation arrangement and replacement specification should be matched to the installed lube-oil system and the applicable MAN technical documentation.

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Suction Strainer is a coarse filtration component of the lubricating-oil system of the MAN 48/60 marine engine. It is identified in MAN documentation as FIL-004 and is installed on the suction side of the lube-oil system.

The strainer is designed to protect the lube-oil pumps against larger dirt particles that may accumulate in the lube-oil service tank. By retaining larger contaminants before they reach the pumps, the suction strainer provides an initial level of mechanical protection within the lubrication system.

MAN specifies FIL-004 as a cone-type strainer with a mesh size of 1.5 mm. This coarse filtration function is distinct from the finer filtration provided by the automatic and duplex lube-oil filters elsewhere in the system.

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Suction Strainer should therefore be matched to the installed FIL-004 arrangement and relevant MAN technical documentation before replacement. The applicable construction, dimensions and installation details should be verified against the installed component and system configuration.
