MAN 48/60CR Lube Oil Fine Filter Element

Application Notes

Fine filtration of lubricating oil within the lube-oil system of the MAN 48/60CR marine engine. MAN identifies the component as FIL-027, Lube oil fine filter, installed in the by-pass. Fine filtration in the by-pass relieves the main filters and allows for a more economical filter design. The fine filter is not of a self-cleaning type; its filter elements need to be replaced.

Additional Notes

The MAN 48/60CR Lube Oil Fine Filter is identified in MAN documentation as FIL-027, Lube oil fine filter. The fine filter design is based on a lube oil quantity of 1.0 l/kW, which should be cleaned within 24 hours 4 to 5 times. The number of filter elements is selected according to the filter maker's evaluation table, which is based on a fixed filter lifetime stated in engine operating hours; for a longer filter exchange interval, the number of filter elements has to be increased. The cited MAN 48/60CR documentation does not specify the exact filter construction, filter media, filtration rating or dimensions. These details should therefore be identified and matched with the applicable MAN 48/60CR documentation before ordering or replacement.
