A filtration part of a filter element. Various type is available: paper, C-fiber, wire gauze, notch wire, and wedge wire.

An index to describe filtration level of element. It is described with a particle diameter that can be trapped at a specific efficient.

Filtration ratio is estimated by the multi-pass test method. It is calculated by (the number of particles at upstream of a filter) ÷ (the number of particles at downstream of a filter) for particles that is larger than a specific diameter. For example, if the β value is 100, there are 100 dusts at upstream and 1 dust at downstream.

A cooling tube with thread shaped fin on its outer surface that enables increase of cooling area. There are several height types of fin: high, middle, low, and we use low fin tube for our standard heat exchanger.

It describes that pipe connection to a component is flange type. there is another connection: “thread” type.

It describes parallel pipe threads (JIS B0202).

Heat amount that a heat exchanger can exchange. Normally, it is estimated by deducting exhaust heat value from total heat generation value of all working component.

A device that efficiently transfers heat from high temperature objects to low temperature objects.

An element with allowable differential pressure of 21MPa. It is appropriate when using line filter with max working pressure of over 14MPa and relief valve is not available.

A test to confirm fatigue strength of product by applying repetition pressure. Since it is regarded that strength reduction is generally saturated after ten million times, products that stand the durability test running ten million times are put on the market.

An equipment to detect differential pressure between upstream and downstream and indicates signals.
Visual observation type (I): Color of signal changes from green to red at setting value.
Electric contact type (E): microswitch is activated to output electric signal at setting value.

A pressure drop value of a filter with an unused element. Pressure loss value is measured based on the standard method of JIS B8356.

A fin tube that height of fin does not exceed a diameter of raw tube. Even if any fault in one of installed tubes, it is replaceable individually.

Max flow rate is determined by the following main factors each.
・Shell side: When flow rate increases, wear on outside of cooling tubes increases and service life of a heat exchanger decreases.
・Tube side: When flow rate increases, erosion corrosion of cooling tubes might be induced.

Max allowable pressure that oil filter or heat exchanger can be used. In case of a hydraulic circuit that undergoes repeated pressure fluctuation, max working pressure should be not a design value but a peak value.

The number of meshes per inch and it describes a filtration gap of wire gauze (ex: 5 Mesh = 5 meshes in an inch). Since there are several types of wire diameter, filtration gap can be different even if Mesh number is same.

Metallic particles generated by the sliding action within the equipment.

A value for the particle size, measured in microns, of the filtration target. As for our C-fiber filter element, the value is determined at when β-ratio is over 200. For wire gauze, the value is determined by filtration gap between wires.

When flow rate of cooling water at the tube side is low, scale accumulation occurs easily and this decreases service life of cooling tubes. In addition, low flow rate of cooling water enhances reduction of heat transfer efficiency at both shell side and tube side.

A filter installable to a manifold block or a subplate conforming to an integrated value standard.

A test method to measure filtration performance of filter element. efficiency of the element. Refer to the “Multi-pass test for filtration performance evaluation”.

= Shell and tube type heat exchanger

The element inside the filter is constructed from notch wire that is made from tightly-coiled stainless steel wire. The element filters via the gaps between the stainless steel wires. The wire is also manufactured in-house and achieves a higher filtration than wire mesh. Notch wire elements can be washed and reused in the same manner as wire mesh elements. The element also has a flat surface which makes cleaning easy.

The number of fin threads per unit length of the fin tube. The more the number of fin threads, the larger its cooling surface area gets. Normally, it is described the number fin threads per inch.

The number of turns of cooling water at low temperature side (tube side) in heat exchanger. Generally, the more pass number, the less cooling water quantity, however, efficiency of heat exchanger increases.

One of the fire-resistant hydraulic fluids used in aircrafts, etc. Sealing parts material should be carefully checked when use.

An instrument used to measure fluid (liquids and gases) pressure.

A device that detects fluid pressure and outputs electric signal when a certain set pressure has been reached.

It describes taper pipe thread (JIS B0203).

A safety valve to prevent a filter element from breakdown when an element is clogged and differential pressure increases. Cracking pressure of relief valve is normally set at 0.35Mpa.

Heat exchanging performance can decrease gradually in long term use due to dirt accumulation in a heat exchanger. Scale coefficient is a value multiplied to provide a margin to a heat transfer coefficient when selecting a heat exchanger.
