Oil Filters

Air compressor oil filter 1625 8401 80 is a critical component in the operation of an air compressor, particularly in oil-lubricated compressors. As oil circulates through the compressor, it picks up various types of contaminants such as metal particles, dust, and other debris. The oil filter is designed to trap these contaminants as the oil passes through it. The filter contains a medium, often made of paper, cotton, or a synthetic material, which has a complex structure with many small pores. These pores allow oil to pass through but trap contaminants that are larger in size.

Its primary function is to remove contaminants from the oil that lubricates the various moving parts of the compressor.  When the compressor is running, the oil pump draws oil from the sump and sends it through the oil filter. The oil filter is typically located in the oil circuit between the pump and the moving parts of the compressor. The oil filter 1625 8401 80 works by filtering out contaminants from the lubricating oil to protect the internal components of the compressor from wear and damage, thus extending the life of the equipment.
