“Engine design improvements now place higher demands on the engine’s filtration systems, challenging filter manufacturers to increase fuel economy while also maintaining superior particulate removal efficiency and capacity,” said Roma Fatima, Lube Product Line Manager, Cummins Filtration. “To meet these challenges, we adapted our proprietary polymeric media for lube filtration applications.

 

The LF14000NN represents the balanced design that is possible with the use of our nanofiber media.” The new combination lube filter provides balanced filtration in terms of efficiency, capacity and restriction. Inside, the NanoNet media structure allows for finer efficiency of wear-causing contaminant particles as well as higher capacity to hold real world contamination throughout the filter’s desired service interval. A notable benefit of the low flow restriction capability is that the engine is able to operate more efficiently due to less parasitic power loss to the engine, which can lead to measureable fuel economy improvements. 

 

“Many of the characteristics that make NanoNet media so successful in fuel filter applications translate well to lube filters,” said Brad Long, Senior Engineering Technical Advisor, Cummins Filtration. “By pairing NanoNet with our proven StrataPore™ synthetic media, we can offer a lube filter that’s suited to meet the needs of today’s advanced engine platforms and lubricants as well as those coming in the near future.”
