Abstract
Goal of the project co-ordinated by Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut Chemnitz (STFI) was the basic investigation of the filtration process of gear oils as basis for the development of new filter media. The first main topic was the textile-physical, chemical, and optical characterization of commercial oil filter media and the investigation of their oil and hydrolysis resistance. Main task of the IPF group was the physico-chemical characterization of filter media using SEM, zeta potential, wetting, penetration and porosity measurements. Basing on the gained theoretical and practical knowledge, a technological basis was be created for the tailored preparation of new synthetic filter media using synthetic nonwovens. A variety of such filter media was manufactured, optimized, and extensivly characterized. The filter performance of commercial and newly developed filter media as well as other effects affecting the filtration (e.g. electrostatic charging) were investigated in filtration tests by BTU Cottbus.
