2.2.1.2 Filtering unit

29 The filtering unit comprises a distributor (16) in the
centre which routes the incoming oil and controls the
filtering and backflushing procedure. This is covered
18 by a sleeve (18) over which two types of filter
element are placed. The bottom section houses the
finer full-flow filter elements (30) and the shorter top
section houses the coarser diversion filter elements
16 (29). Both sets of filter elements are located over
32
four assembling rods (32) to complete the filtering
unit.
30
1FU-043
Filtering unit
The full-flow filter elements (30) are clamped

between the full-flow companion spacer (27) and the
full- flow cover (28) by means of the springs (38) and
the rods (32).
24
The diversion filter elements (29) are clamped
between the diversion companion spacer (25) and
29 the diversion cover (24) by means of the rods (32).
25
18 Both types of filter element are made up from two

element halves. Each half comprises an aluminium
framework of 12 equal sectors separated by radial
27 ribs. Between each rib is a stainless steel filter
30 screen. When the pairs of filter elements are stacked
together they form 12 independent filtering columns
32
in each filter chamber.
The main physical differences between the two

28 types of elements are as follows:
16 • The diversion filter elements internal diameter is

slightly smaller to prevent mixing of the
elements during assembly.
• The full-flow filter element screen is finer.

2.2.1.3 Hydraulic motor

The hydraulic motor (45) is located on top of the filter
housing. It is driven by a small part of the filtered oil.
The hydraulic motor rotates the distributor (16) in a
stepwise manner in one direction which controls the
filtering/backflushing procedure. The stepwise
rotation of the distributor is indicated by an operating
indicator (53) fitted to the driving shaft of the
hydraulic motor.
The hydraulic motor contains a piston (20) that

moves up and down in a reciprocating motion inside
1HM-001
a cylinder (A), (the body of the hydraulic motor). The
Hydraulic motor piston is via driving pins (24), connected to a helical
grooved driven ratchet (30) which converts the
upward motion of the piston into a rotational step.
53 This rotational step is transmitted via the driving
ratchet (29) and driving shaft (22) to the distributor.
Downward motion of the piston disengages the
driving ratchet and the distributor does not move.
Valves in the cylinder are activated by the movement

of the piston, so controlling the driving oil to the
upper and lower side of the piston respectively.

2.3 APPLICATIONS
The application for this type of duplex (Aut/Man) filter is for full flow
filtering of lubricating oils for diesel engines.
The filter is installed in the full-flow lube oil system as close to the
engine as possible.
Its function is to protect the engine against harmful solid particles, that
may not yet hare been removed by the centrifugal separator, which is
installed in the bypass lube oil system.
The automatic filter should be used during normal operation, and the
manual filter only when the automatic filter is out of operation (ie for
maintenance).

2.4 DESIGN FEATURES

The following design features are valid for the automatic filter
The Moatti automatic lube oil filter is not a conventional type of

automatic filter. Conventional filters generally work on the principle that
the backflushing is initiated when the pressure drop across the filter
reaches a pre-set value. The Moatti filter is unique as it works on a
principle of continuous backflushing. Generally about 3% of the filtered
oil is always backflushing one column of the filter elements and driving
of the hydraulic motor.
The main features and advantages of the unique Moatti automatic lube
oil filter are as follows:
• Continuous backflushing
• Disc-type filter elements
• Filtered oil drives the continuous backflushing
• No disposable filter elements
• Constant pressure drop over the filter
• Compact and lightweight design.
2.4.1 Continuous backflushing

The Moatti automatic filter is continuously backflushed, column by
column. The backflushing is performed with filtered oil and the entire
filter surface is cleaned once every 3 to 5 minutes. This prevents
retained solids from sticking to the filter surface, ensuring a low and
constant pressure drop. Therefore, the need for manual cleaning of the
filter elements is reduced to a minimum. This generally allows for more
than 12 000 operating hours between manual cleaning and inspection
of the filter.
2.4.2 Disc-type filter elements

The Moatti automatic filter is fitted with robust disc-type filter
elements.This design feature, together with the low and constant
pressure drop (from the continuous backflushing), eliminate the risk of
cracked filter elements.
2.4.3 Filtered oil drives the continuous backflushing

Filtered oil is used for backflushing of the filter elements. Filtered oil is
also used to drive of the hydraulic motor which, in turn, drives the
distributor, so controlling the backflushing. As a result, electricity and
compressed air are not required for the operation.
12 1809049-20 FD04E105.FM
2.4.4 No disposable filter elements

The Moatti automatic filter contains no disposable elements. The
backflushed solids are concentrated in the secondary filtration
chamber (diversion chamber) and are discharged by periodic draining.
2.4.5 Constant pressure drop over the filter

As the continuous backflushing process gives a constant pressure
drop it is possible to get an immediate indication from the pressure
drop indicator when something is wrong in the lube oil system.
2.4.6 Compact and lightweight design

The design gives a simple compact, lightweight and reliable system
which is easy to install. It also provides increased possibilities for up-
grading of existing installations

2.5 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

2.5.1 Automatic filter
2.5.1.1 Overview
The main principle of operation for the Moatti automatic lube oil filter is
as follows:
• The oil to be filtered is pumped from the lube oil sump through the
filter and to the engine.
• When the oil reaches the filter it first passes through a strainer
located in the inlet body. This should remove any large foreign
matter like pieces of rag which may be left in the system after
maintenance.
• Once past the strainer the oil then passes through the full-flow
filter elements (where the solids are trapped) and to the engine. A
part of the filtered oil (3 % of the capacity of the filter) is used to
backflush part of the full-flow filter elements and for drive of the
hydraulic motor.
• The backflushed oil with solids from the full-flow chamber is led to
the diversion chamber where it is filtered again, before it is led
back to the lube oil sump.
• The filter elements in the diversion chamber are backflushed (with

filtered oil) in the same manner as in the full-flow chamber.
• The solids concentrated in the diversion chamber are discharged

from the system by periodic draining.
The whole filtering cycle can be considered as two phases:
Phase I - filtering in both chambers

- backflushing in the full-flow chamber
Phase II - filtering in both chambers

- backflushing in the diversion chamber.

2.5.1.2 Phase I
Filtering in the full-flow chamber
1. Unfiltered oil enters the filter at (A) and flows through the strainer
(S) into the chamber (B) - the space between the distributor (C)
and the inner perimeter of the sleeve (J) on which the full-flow
filter elements (D) are mounted.
2. The oil is distributed from this space through the full-flow filter
elements (D) in eleven of the twelve filtering columns (the twelfth
column is being backflushed). The solids are trapped on the inner
side of the elements in the eleven filtering columns.
3FU-002 1FU-005
3. The filtered oil flows into the full-flow chamber (E) and is fed
through the filter outlet (F) to the engine.
4. A few hundred litres per hour of the filtered oil are routed from the
full-flow chamber (E) through the feed pipe (G) to the hydraulic
motor (H) to drive the distributor (C).
Backflushing in the full-flow chamber
5. While the full-flow takes place in eleven columns, solids are being
removed from the elements in the twelfth column by backflushing
(from outside to inside of the column) using part of the filtered oil
from the full-flow chamber (E).
6. The backflushed oil and removed solids flow through passage (K)
in the distributor (C) to the diversion chamber (L).

2.5.2 Manual filter
The operation of the manual filter is as follows :
• The oil to be filtered enters the filter at A and flows into the center
of the filter insert (30).
• From here, the oil flows from the inner to the outer diameter of the
filter insert, and the solids are trapped in the insert.
• The filtered oil leaves the filter via the outlet F.

2.6 PRESSURE DROP INDICATOR

The inlet pressure P1 is taken in the inlet and the outlet pressure P2 is
taken in the outlet of the change-over-unit. Both monitoring points are
fitted with isolator cocks and pipework to connect them to the pressure
drop indicator (44).
The pressure drop indicator shows the pressure drop P (P1 - P2)
across the full-flow elements. Due to the continuous backflushing, P
is constant during operation. It may vary from 0.2 to 0.7 bar depending
on the installation and filter size.
If for any reason the filter starts to clog, the pressure drop will
increase. To prevent the filter becoming completely clogged the
pressure drop indicator is equipped with a preset alarm value (P-
alarm). This value generally ranges from 0.8 to 1.0 bar and is set at
the factory.
If the pressure drop reaches the preset value, an electrical contact is

switched giving possibility for a signal to the control system of the
engine.
! CAUTION:
The pressure drop indicator must be connected

to the engine control system for the P-alarm to
safeguard the engine. On activation of a P-
alarm, the trouble shooting activities must be
started immediately, see chapter 4.

OPERATION
3.5 SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES

There are no special procedures to carry out when
the filter is shut down. Its operation is entirely
dependent on the lube oil pump. When the lube oil
pump is switched off or stops the valves on the filter
may be left open.
Recommendation:
It is preferable to leave the filter full of oil during shut-
down, to avoid any problems at start-up and to
increase the life-time of the gaskets.
! CAUTION:
Always check that the valves

are open before re-starting as
somebody may have closed
them.
3.6 EMERGENCY OPERATION

If the hydraulic motor is not working properly, an
emergency operation can be used to manually
backflush the filter. This procedure should only be
used when the following have been checked :
V3
1. Valve (V3) in the return to sump line (if fitted)
has not been closed by mistake.
2. Gaskets for the hydraulic motor are not

available (See chapter 7).
3. A replacement hydraulic motor is not available.
1DB-211
The emergency backflushing procedure for the filter

TROUBLE SHOOTING
4.1 GENERAL
This chapter deals with the most common problems
when the filter does not work correctly or when the
P- alarm occurs. It will give the possible reasons for
the problems and actions to solve them.
The chapter is divided into the following main

sections :
• Problems at initial start-up before P-alarm

occurs, see section 4.2.
• External leakage, see section 4.3.
• Abnormal values on daily checks but no P-

alarm, see section 4.4.
• Problems with the P-alarm activated, see

section 4.5.
The following information is valid with filtration in the

automatic part of the duplex filter (change-over-unit
with the arrow facing the B mark, see section 3.1).
When the actions given here do not solve the

troubles, change over from filtration in the automatic
part to filtration in the manual part (change-over-unit
with the arrow facing the A mark, see section 3.1).

CAUSE ACTION
1. The automatic part of the filter is not Turn the hand wheel until the arrow is facing
connected the B mark (see section 3.1).
2. Valve V3 is closed. Open valve V3 in the backflushing line.
3. Lube oil temperature too low Wait and see because the temperature will
probably incrase. If it does not, check the
lube oil cooling system.
4. Lube oil pressure too low Probably the engine is by-passed or only a
small pre-lube pump is in operation.
If so, connect the engine and main pump
5. The hydraulic motor is not working properly (i) Manually turn the operating indicator (53)
(ii) Inspect the hydraulic motor, see chapter5.
If necessary:
(iii) Replace the hydraulic motor.
6. The “return to sump” line is too long and Modify the installation. The return line should
narrow be of equal or greater diameter than the
outlet and should be a short pipe with a
minimum number of bends and no
restrictions.
Notice ! Operation with no revolution of the operating indicator will cause clogged filter elements.

5.1 GENERAL
The design and the operating cycle of the filter
minimize the need for maintenance. However in
order to ensure reliable operation of the filter it has
to be
cleaned and inspected at regular intervals

(see 3.4.4).
Pressure drop alarms or breakdowns (see chapter 4)

may shorten this period. This chapter is divided into
the following sections :
• Overhaul of the automatic part of the filter (5.2)
• Overhaul of the hydraulic motor (5.3)
• Overhaul of the manual part of the filter (5.4)
• Overhaul of the change-over-unit (5.5).
Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 are structured as

follows :
• Tools and spares required
• Disassembly procedures
• Cleaning/inspection tasks
• Assembly procedures.
Required new parts can be found in chapter 7, which

contains an illustrated parts list for the filter, the
hydraulic motor and the change-over-unit. A sample
ordering form is included in the appendices for
ordering spare parts.
