UFI Filters<\/strong>, a leading company in filtration and thermal management, is launching an\u00a0innovative oil module for one of the latest Daimler Truck AG\u2019s engines for Mercedes-Benz Truck applications in the European Original Equipment market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The main innovation offered by the UFI Filters module to the Heavy Duty\u00a0Engine Platform OM471<\/strong>, is the integration of several features which include a\u00a0two-stage thermostatic valve, a pressure control valve, a by-pass valve and a temperature sensor<\/strong>. These elements allow\u00a0advanced oil volume management<\/strong>\u00a0within the circuit, even for low-viscosity oils. The improved management of the lubrication circuit reduces friction inside the engine, thus offering excellent performance and a significant reduction in fuel consumption \u2013 contributing to lower pollutant emissions in the process.<\/p>\n
A further technological feature offered by the complete UFI system is the\u00a0advanced thermal management<\/strong>\u00a0of the engine thanks to an UFI-developed two-stage thermostatic valve, which prevents temperature peaks. Depending on the oil temperature and the operating phase (steady state or warm-up), the two-stage thermostatic valve manages the oil volume within the lubrication circuit.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0filter cartridge<\/strong>\u00a0produced with infrared welding (without any use of glue) is manufactured according to the exclusive hydrophobic\u00a0FormulaUFI.Cell<\/strong>\u00a0media. Due to the use of this particular media, the filter can maintain its characteristics even in the presence of water in the oil. This results in a high standard of filtration over time. Compared to screw-on filters, replacing the element alone allows a significant reduction in metal waste; the patented coupling also guarantees safer and cleaner maintenance operations for the operator. The improved management of the lubrication circuit and the characteristics of the filter material therefore offer high filter reliability, with extended service intervals of up to 150,000 km. Thanks to its structure, it has a high resistance on oil circuits subjected to pressures of up to 12 bar, such as those of heavy-duty vehicle engines.<\/p>\n
UFI Filters\u2019 engineers, in cooperation with those of the leading German manufacturer, have paid particular attention to the design of the individual components. The cartridge not only safeguards the engine components, but also guarantees best performance, helping to keep circuit pressure drop levels low, even under the harshest engine operating conditions.<\/p>\n
UFI Filters\u2019 complete system also features a\u00a0high degree of modularity<\/strong>, with the possibility of assembling different types of water pumps, both electrically and mechanically regulated. This enables the system to adapt to the needs of different types of applications, for different truck models.<\/p>\n
Rinaldo Facchini, CEO of the UFI Filters Group<\/strong>\u00a0explains: \u201cThis product represents one of the best examples of the synergy between UFI Filters and Original Equipment manufacturers in designing and producing technological innovations in line with the needs of the most demanding engines, such as those destined for heavy-duty applications. We are very proud of this partnership, a very important business for our Group, on one of the highest volume engines in the European market.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
