This research was performed to determine the oil separation characteristics of the specially designed oil filter installed in a PCV cylinder head passage. The oil filter was specially designed with fleece for separating oil mist from blow-by gas. The fleece, made of fiber fabric material, is placed in the oil filter case to absorb oil mist with a small pressure drop during blow-by gas through the filter. To do this, 3-D CFD analysis was simulated for the simplified PCV system with the oil filter using the commercial code, Ansys CFX. Results showed that the oil filter's efficiency with fleece sharply increased as oil droplet size increased.

The magnetic fibrous polymeric oil filter for automotive was obtained by pneumoextrusion processing prepared from thermoplastic polymer(polyamide) containing magnetic particulate filer (Ba ferrite), and treated subsequently in a magnetic fields. Using an oil filter tester and particle quantifier, the dependence of filtrational characteristics of the magnetic oil filter on the parameters of mean pore sizes and magnetic properties were analyzed. Also experimental engine-bed test of oil filters was investigated. The magnetic fibrous polymeric filter was shown to possess a highly filtration efficiency in filtering the fine metal particles with increasing the magnetic force of filter element. In this study, we knew that efficiency of magnetic fibrous polymeric filter was dependent on the magnetic strength of the filter elements.

Because the traditional filters have many demerits, multi-step electric oil filter have manufactured the efficiency of insulating oil to improve. Therefore, the function of oil filter to improve based on my experience and know-how about my job. Through this study have obtained many merits. The efficiency of insulating oil is improved. The waste oil reused in repair works of the damaged transformer. Multi-step filter is shortening the working time and safety. it is handy for use and movement. This study lengthen the expected life span of filter. The improvement of oil filter bring about elevation of productivity.

The purpose of this study is to develop the proto type sensor installed inside an oil filter in order to detect oil deterioration level. The sensor is made up with two concentric cylinders with constant gap in between and a filter element inside the central area. The size will be designed as similar as real oil filters. The sensor will be tested on a test rig, which is circulating engine oil, with the same size of an oil filter adapting housing as real engines'. It will be measured the capacitance of a sample engine oil, then be able to be gotten the dielectric constant. The changes in the dielectric constant could be correlated with the engine oil deterioration level if the sensor development would be completed. In this paper, it will be shown the test results carrying out under variable temperature conditions at atmosphere pressure.

In centrifugal oil filters particles are forced to move toward the filter casing wall by centrifugal force in the rotating oil flow and the particles are trapped and removed on the filter paper installed at the wall. In the present study, flow field of oil and particle motion in a centrifugal oil filter has been numerically calculated in order to estimate the filtering efficiency for various operating conditions. Fluent code was used for the numerical calculations. Uncoupling the oil flow and the particle motion and the use of particle tracking trajectory enabled the estimation of filtering efficiency for various particle sizes, particle density and the filter rotational speed. Higher filtering efficiency was observed for heavier and larger particles as well as higher filter rotational speed. For the typical case of the particle density of $6000kg/m^3$ and the particle size of $10{\mu}m$ at 3500 RPM, the calculated filtering efficiency per passage was 0.31.

Cooking oil in kitchen-fog is the most harmful factor to the health of a cook. The proposed filter is a tool that protects the cooked state, to prevent users from inhaling oil mist in the kitchen. Due to efficiency issues, existing filters are of the mesh type or baffle type. In this paper, CFD analysis is carried out to select a filter with low pressure loss and low efficiency, and to attach the sub-filter to improve efficiency. The results of the analysis on the collection efficiency and pressure loss of three sub-filters, i.e., circle type, droplet type, and cone type, showed that the collection efficiency was 64.09% and the pressure loss was 1.26 mmAq when the circle type sub-filter was applied. The position of the sub-filter showed the best efficiency and pressure loss when it was located at the bottom of the center of the gap of the main filter.

Small drops in gas cause some problems for downstream equipments such as turbine, compressor and etc. In some cases, we are obliged to remove hazardous liquid mist from gas. In order to remove water or other liquids from the gas, there are some equipments like mesh mist eliminator and vane-plate mist eliminator. oil mist filter is a kind of liquid eliminator equipments used to remove the liquid with 1-10um droplet diameter from the gas. In this paper is determine the factors affecting the oil mist filter efficiency using CFD. length and angle of the filter were considered and the results and compare the results of the efficiency tests, showed error of less than 3%. optimum filter can remove more than 87.3% between 1 and 10um of oil mist.

The purpose of this study is to develop a sensing system to measure the capacitance of a pre-developed engine oil deterioration detection sensor integrated with an oil filter. To measure the capacitance of engine oil in the sensor, it is used the way measuring the electric charging time in a capacitor by impressing DC volt. This method has merits on cost and signal stability. The measured capacitance is compensated by comparison with the one measured by an impedance analyzer. Also, using the dielectric constant gained by an impedance analyzer, the calculating equation of the dielectric constant of engine oil related with the currently developed sensor is decided. Finally, the degradation degree of engine oil is estimated according to the change rate of dielectric constant between green oil and used oil. The newly developed personal controller is to control a series of the processes.

The filtration of the magnetic fibrous polymeric filter with packing density profile made of a self-bonded, nonwoven structure comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a magnetic substance was investigated using an oil filter tester, a particle quantifier and an image analyzer system. The magnetic fibrous polymeric filter showed excellent filtration efficiency compared with conventional paper filter. From the experimental results, It is deduced that the filtration mechanism of conventional paper filter is only the function of physical porosity by surface filteration. On the other hand, the newly magnetic fibrous polymeric filter is designed with a new concept in filtration mechanism. That is, it has a dual function of depth and magnetic filters by physical porosity and magnetic attraction. The newly magnetic fibrous polymeric filter has been shown to be a highly effective oil filter for lubrication systems.
