Abstract

For the purpose of measuring the flow and pressure characteristics of oil filters used in vehicles with internal combustion engines, a laboratory test equipment was used, which was designed at the Department of Transport and Handling of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. The target information from the given measurement is the obtained data on the change of flow and pressure, based on the type of oil filter used. The contribution of this paper is information that can be used in the future in the design of new filtration equipment, as well as the creation of a system for evaluating the technical life of motor oils, in order to extend the service intervals of motor oil, monitored set of motor vehicles.

Highlights

  • Today, more and more attention is paid to maintaining and protecting the quality of the environment, and this trend has not escaped even specific industries such as lubricant manufacturers

  • The measurement of flow and pressure characteristics was performed by means of a laboratory test equipment, the design of which was performed based on technical characteristics of oil filters, hydraulic elements used in the circuit and calculations performed at the Department of Transport and Handling [5,6,7]

  • The measurement of oil filters flow and pressure characteristics used in internal combustion engines was performed on a laboratory device designed for the evaluation of engine oil filtration

Summary

Introduction

More and more attention is paid to maintaining and protecting the quality of the environment, and this trend has not escaped even specific industries such as lubricant manufacturers During production, they meet the requirements of constantly improving the quality of their products, but more importantly, to ensure that their impact on the environment is reduced. In the case of solving the problem of working fluids, we consider motor oils, which are commonly used in internal combustion engines, to be the most demanding lubricants in terms of the choice of base oils and suitable additives [2].
