Application Notes

Automatic back-washing filtration of lubricating oil within the lube-oil system of the MAN 48/60 marine engine. FIL-001 is installed as the main lube-oil filter and is designed to maintain lube-oil flow during automatic back-washing of the filter elements. The filtration arrangement may include an integrated second filtration stage depending on the installed configuration.

Additional Notes

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Automatic Filter Element forms part of the main lubricating-oil filtration arrangement identified as FIL-001 (Lube Oil Automatic Filter) in MAN documentation. The filter is an automatic back-washing filter installed as the main filter in the lube-oil system. The automatic back-washing arrangement is designed so that filter cleaning does not interrupt the required lube-oil flow and pressure. The flushing discharge is returned to the lube-oil service tank, while the lube oil is permanently cleaned in partial flow through a separator. Depending on the installed arrangement, FIL-001 may incorporate a second filtration stage. MAN documentation identifies a 34 µm first filtration stage and, in a two-stage configuration, an 80 µm second filtration stage. The exact configuration must therefore be matched to the installed filtration system.

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Automatic Filter Element is part of the main lubricating-oil filtration system of the MAN 48/60 marine engine. It is associated with FIL-001, the Lube Oil Automatic Filter, which is installed as the main filter in the lube-oil system.

The filter uses an automatic back-washing process to remove accumulated contamination from the filter elements while maintaining the required lubricating-oil flow and pressure. The flushing discharge is returned to the lube-oil service tank, while the lube oil is additionally cleaned in partial flow through a separator.

MAN documentation describes arrangements in which FIL-001 incorporates a second filtration stage. The documented arrangement includes a 34 µm first filtration stage and, where a second stage is installed, an 80 µm second filtration stage. The exact filtration configuration depends on the installed system arrangement.

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Automatic Filter Element should therefore be matched to the installed FIL-001 filter housing and configuration. The applicable filter construction, filtration stages, dimensions and replacement specification should be verified against the relevant MAN technical documentation before replacement.
