Application Notes

Indicator filtration of lubricating oil downstream of the main lube-oil automatic filter in the MAN 48/60 marine engine. FIL-002 is installed close to the engine and provides additional protection by filtering the lubricating oil in the event of a malfunction or maintenance of the automatic filter.

Additional Notes

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Duplex Filter Element forms part of the lube-oil filtration arrangement identified as FIL-002 (Lube Oil Duplex Filter) in MAN documentation. FIL-002 functions as an indicator filter and is installed downstream of the lube-oil automatic filter, as close as possible to the engine. The duplex arrangement allows one filter chamber to remain in operation while the other chamber can be isolated for manual cleaning or replacement of the filter element. The filter provides additional protection for the engine in case of malfunction or maintenance of the main automatic filter. MAN specifies a 60 µm filter mesh size for FIL-002 in the documented FIL-001/FIL-002 arrangement. If a two-stage automatic filter is installed, the additional duplex filter may be omitted; an additional duplex filter can nevertheless be installed when a higher safety level is required.

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Duplex Filter Element is part of the lubricating-oil filtration system of the MAN 48/60 marine engine and is identified in MAN documentation as FIL-002, Lube Oil Duplex Filter.

FIL-002 functions as an indicator filter and is installed downstream of the main lube-oil automatic filter, as close as possible to the engine. It provides an additional filtration barrier and protects the engine in the event of a malfunction or maintenance requirement affecting the automatic filter.

The duplex configuration allows one filter chamber to remain in service while the other chamber can be isolated for manual cleaning or replacement of the filter element. This arrangement allows the lube-oil filtration function to be maintained according to the installed system configuration.

MAN documentation specifies a 60 µm filter mesh size for FIL-002. In systems equipped with a two-stage automatic filter, the additional duplex filter can be omitted because the second stage of FIL-001 provides an additional filtration barrier. An additional duplex filter may nevertheless be installed when a higher safety level is required.

The MAN 48/60 Lube Oil Duplex Filter Element should therefore be matched to the installed FIL-002 filter housing and the applicable lube-oil system configuration before replacement.
