Source Title MAN 48/60CR IMO Tier II, Project Guide – Marine, Section 6.4 "Lube oil system", FIL-002/Lube oil duplex filter as indicator filter

The MAN 48/60CR Lube Oil Duplex Filter is a lubricating-oil filtration component in the lube-oil system of the MAN 48/60CR marine engine. Everllence identifies the component as FIL-002, Lube oil duplex filter, which functions as an indicator filter and is installed downstream of the lube oil automatic filter FIL-001, as close as possible to the engine.

The lube oil duplex filter provides filtration in situations where the automatic filter cannot be used. Everllence states that, in single-main-engine plants, the engine may continue operating by bypassing the automatic filter and using the duplex filter for lube-oil filtration.

Application Notes

Filtration of lubricating oil within the lube-oil filtration system of the MAN 48/60CR marine engine. Everllence identifies the component as FIL-002, Lube oil duplex filter as indicator filter, installed downstream of the lube oil automatic filter FIL-001 and as close as possible to the engine. In single-main-engine plants, the duplex filter can provide lube-oil filtration when the automatic filter is bypassed. The exact filter-element specification should be verified against the installed filter arrangement and applicable MAN 48/60CR documentation before replacement.

Additional Notes

The two chambers of the MAN 48/60CR lube oil duplex filter (FIL-002) are equipped with drain connections and shut-off fittings. The drain connections return to the leakage oil collecting tank (T-006). Draining removes dirt accumulated in the filter casing and prevents contamination of the clean-oil side of the filter.

The MAN 48/60CR Lube Oil Duplex Filter is identified in Everllence documentation as FIL-002, Lube oil duplex filter as indicator filter. It is installed downstream of the lube oil automatic filter FIL-001 and as close as possible to the engine.

The lube oil duplex filter must be cleaned manually and provides additional lube-oil filtration. In single-main-engine plants, Everllence states that the engine may continue to operate by bypassing the automatic filter, with lube oil filtration provided by the duplex filter. In multi-engine plants where the automatic filter cannot be bypassed without loss of lube-oil filtration, the affected engine has to be stopped.

The two filter chambers are equipped with drain connections and shut-off fittings. The drain connections return to the leakage oil collecting tank (T-006). Draining removes dirt accumulated in the filter casing and prevents contamination of the clean-oil side of the filter. The design of the duplex filter must ensure that no parts of the filter can become loose and enter the engine.

The exact filter-element specification, filter media, filtration characteristics, dimensions, construction and manufacturer part number are not specified in the cited documentation. These details should therefore be verified against the installed filter arrangement and applicable MAN 48/60CR documentation before ordering or replacement.
