CLEAN OIL VITAL TO ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Dirty oil can cause catastrophic damage to your engine. By using the proper lube filter for your engine, you can minimize the possibility of costly downtime and repairs.
Baldwin Filters has been making lube filters for over seventy years. With more than 650 lube filters for heavy-duty and automotive applications, Baldwin has the coverage and quality you demand.
Improved high-performance engines and new emission standards have had a significant impact on the development of oils and oil filters. As manufacturers continue to develop more sophisticated engines, new classifications of oils will continue to be developed.
These new oils play a vital part in protecting engines by reducing friction and wear, cooling engine parts, sealing combustion chambers, cleaning engine components and inhibiting corrosion. Lube filters also play a critical role in protecting engines by removing damaging contaminants from the oil.
Lube filters trap oil contaminants in two ways:
Some particles adhere to the filter media as the oil flows through the filter. These particles attach themselves to the media surface without plugging the media pores.
Other particles are trapped in the filter media by the pressure of the oil as it flows through the filter.
HIGH VELOCITY DUAL-FLOW®
High Velocity Dual-Flow Lube FilterBaldwin Filters’ High Velocity Dual-Flow lube filters provide improved engine protection during extended oil drain intervals, high idle time and harsh operating conditions. The patented design of the High Velocity Dual-Flow filters provides maximum filtration, while the heavy-duty construction ensures dependable operation.
The Baldwin Design
Baldwin Filters’ High Velocity Dual-Flow line includes dual-flow lube filters to be used on Cummins ISM, ISX and Series 600 engines as replacements for the Fleetguard Venturi™ filter line.
There are differences between standard dual-flow lube spin-on filters and the High Velocity Dual-Flow filters.
High Velocity Dual-Flow spin-ons have one inlet and one outlet. Oil flowing through the filter is sent directly to the engine to protect vital engine components, rather than a portion being returned to the sump as with conventional dual-flow filters.
The High Velocity Dual-Flow spin-on design is also superior to standard full-flow/by-pass designs in that a larger portion of the flow travels through the high efficiency element, removing more small contaminants. In traditional full-flow/by-pass designs, only a small percentage of flow, 10% or less, travels through the high efficiency element.
SERIES DESIGN – BD103
Series Design Lube FilterThe unique integral series design of the BD103 provides maximum filtration while the heavy-duty construction ensures dependable operation. Tests and more than 70 billion field miles substantiate the BD103’s superior performance claims.
The Baldwin Design
The patented series design and the cellulose/synthetic blend media are central to the filter’s increased contaminant holding capacity and longer element life.
Baldwin’s integral series design places the by-pass element inside the full-flow element instead of stacking the two elements, as in standard parallel designs. This allows both elements to occupy almost the full length of the filter housing and provides additional filtration area. In the BD103, all oil passes through the full-flow element instead of just part of it as with parallel designs.
The full-flow/by-pass technology of the BD103 offers up to 43 percent more full-flow surface for greater contaminant holding capacity. Higher efficiency means less damage-causing contaminants pass through the filter to sensitive components, leading to longer and more efficient system life. Increased capacity extends filter life without decreasing filter efficiency.
