New Easy to Install Duplex Filter Cuts Cost of Marine Filtration

Parker Hannifin has launched a new duplex filter for the effective filtration of fuel, lubrication, and hydraulic fluid systems in marine applications. The DF40 filter features a robust, simple to install, and environmentally friendly design, helping vessel owners take a responsible approach to minimising maintenance requirements and costs.

The new duplex filter has been specifically developed to meet the needs of marine applications, and features cast iron and steel construction, allowing it to provide long and dependable service life in engine room installations. The filter can be fitted quickly and easily, and once installed can be serviced from either the top or bottom, depending on the application.

The innovative DF40 filter contains an 80CN size eco element that can be disposed of safely and with minimal impact on the environment. A number of filter media options are available, including a Microglass lll, Ecoglass lll, and a cleanable metal mesh option. A visual or electrical indicator port enables the condition of the filter to be monitored easily, while a second port can be specified for easy viewing regardless of the mounting position, or to achieve both visual and electrical monitoring.

The DF40 duplex filter is able to withstand a flow rate of up to 200l/min and pressures of up to 40bar, making it suitable for a wide range of marine applications.
