Constructive-Functional Analysis and Sizing of Hydraulic Filters

The reliability of hydrostatic installations depends on the low level of impurities in an environment with pressure at an allowable value, which avoids an accentuated wear of the individual elements of the installations. Hydraulic filters are elements that have a role in protecting the hydrostatic installations from the particles that are found in the hydraulic oil. The paper aims to present some of the elements underlying the construction of hydraulic environment filtration equipment, certain conditions that are imposed on them, as well as the main problems related to the calculation and sizing of filters.
