FLR01318 oil filter element for screw type refrigeration compressor

Product Details

FLR01318 is a specialized oil filter element designed for screw-type refrigeration compressors, most commonly used in water chillers and HVAC systems.

In a screw compressor, lubricating oil is critical for sealing the rotors, cooling the compression chamber, reducing noise, and protecting bearings. The FLR01318 filter ensures the longevity of these moving parts by capturing metal shavings, carbon deposits, and other microscopic contaminants from the refrigerant oil.

Filter Media: Built with multi-layer fiberglass (glass fiber) or pleated synthetic media. This material is highly resistant to chemical degradation from refrigerants (e.g., R134a, R22) and compressor oils (POE, mineral, or synthetic oils).

Filtration Rating: Usually rated between 5 to 20 microns, providing high-efficiency particle retention without causing excessive pressure drops.

Structural Strength: Features a rugged inner support core to withstand high differential pressures, preventing the filter from collapsing during cold starts when oil viscosity is high.
