Offline filter myths that can affect your system
Myth 1 : Offline Filters will remove additives
Fact: Sophisticated additive packages have been developed by Oil Companies, specifically formulated to dissolve completely in all lubricants, fluids, and fuels.
Though, there are some additives that are not soluble such as MoS2.
Myth 2 : Offline Filters having synthetic filter media such as glass fibre can remove varnish
Fact: The ideal material for capturing and removing varnish is depth filter, which is commonly used in Liasotech Filters. Conversely, synthetic filter media, such as Glass Fibre, which is often used in Inline Filters, is not capable of removing varnish. To effectively remove varnish, it is recommended to use an Offline Filter equipped with depth media.
Myth 3 : Offline Filters Cannot Clean High Viscosity Oils
Fact: Inline Filters are best for viscosities <200cSt as low surface area of these filters does not allow sufficient space for high-viscosity oils to pass through. Offline Filters on the other hand offer a much higher surface area and provide depth filtration as they run at much lower flow rates.
