Technological innovations in filter efficiency were intended for hydraulic systems that have servo valves and piston pumps that are very sensitive to contaminants that are under five microns in size. Synthetic materials such as polyester or fiberglass, due to their smaller fibers compared to cellulose media, are capable of trapping more contaminants without affecting oil flow because they can have more pores. Media designers, however, are able to mix various cuts of cellulose media to match the performance of synthetic materials., How to tell when you need filter options like synthetic media, bypass filters or centrifugal separators to satisfy sensitive components working in a world of dirt Most innovations aimed at [...]

The Winter 1998 forum of the American Society of heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers focused on residue buildup in compressor capillary tubes, causing wear. Most agreed that the problem was caused not by filter-drier performance, but by materials used. Hydrocarbon waxes and glycol-based materials should be avoided, and alumina has sporadic performance. Filtering to smaller particle sizes was also recommended., Are you finding more clogged cap tubes and compressor wear problems that seem to be related to HFC systems? You're not alone.
