NTZ Radial Micro Filters Overview:

A NTZ filter is used as an additional micro filter connected in bypass next to the conventional main stream filters on engines and automatic transmissions

Through keeping the oil clean the NTZ filter offers you significant technical, environmental and financial benefits thanks to reduced wear and tear on equipment and machines and prolonged oil life-time.

How it works...

Oil is the blood of your machines and equipment. Therefore it has to be in good condition for the duration of its usable life to perform its vital tasks. During use, the oil becomes contaminated by dirt and particles caused by wear and condensation. These particles have an abrasive effect on the engine parts and, together with water, accelerate the chemical and physical deterioration of the oil. As a result, the oil can no longer perform its functions effectively and must be replaced in order to prevent malfunctioning and excessive wear.

Traditional Filtration Methods...
To prevent technical failures due to oil contamination every engine and automatic transmission is equiped with a main stream filter. These main stream filters are an absolute necessity to keep out large particles that would cause immediate damage, but can never perform efficient filtration, because they have to be fairly permeable in order to ensure an adequate flow of the necessary quantity of oil through the filter to the system. The average permeability of main flow filters is therefore about 10 to 15 microns. The overwhelming majority of oil contaminants, however are much smaller than 10-15 microns. These easily pass through any main stream filter and remain harmfully present in the oil. Back

Bypass filtration

In order to remove and keep out contaminants under 10-15 micron an extra fine filter is required. Such a fine filter cannot be placed directly in the oil circuit since it would build up a counter pressure and the system would break down. That problem is being solved by placing it in a bypass configuration. During operation 5-10% of the oil flow is constantly being led through the bypass filter, resulting in a superior cleanliness level of the oil.

NTZ Radial Micro Filtration

Radial Micro Filtration is the most efficient bypass technology available. The Milwaukee Fluid Power Institute has tested the NTZ Radial Micro Filter to be 99.97% efficient in filtering 2 micron particles. Back

Warnings and precautions

NTZ filter housings are installed in bypass to the original oil circuit. Install the filter on new vehicles with the first oil change, on used vehicles at the time of a regular oil change. Change the standard main stream filter at the same time.

Keep housing and hoses free of electrical, moving, or extreme hot parts.

Mount the filter housing in a spot free from vibrations.

Keep hoses as short as possible. No sharp bends, no extreme tension.

Filter housing will be hot as oil is flowing through.

Installation and cartridge change should take place when the engine / transmission is cold.

Protect the environment. For correct disposal, leave the used cartridge at your service station or the local waste disposal center.

Installation On Engines - Mounting the filter housing

1. Using the installation bolts M10 x 50 mount the NTZ
bypass filter housing in the desired location, keeping the following points in mind.

2. Mount the filter housing in a spot free from vibrations as close to the engine as possible to keep inlet and outlet hoses short and secure enough top side clearance for the element change.

NOTE:
Never install the filter housing directly on the engine !

3. Mark and drill the required amount of 10 mm holes, remove the top lid of the filter housing and slide the 10 mm bolts into the support sleeves. Now fit the 10 mm spring washer and secure the bolts in the required position to the filter housing with the 10 mm nuts. Now install the filter housing by using the washers and 10 mm nut.

4. As this is a pressurized unit mounting can be done in
any position. However the filter housing has to stand up vertically for convenient element change.

Installation in Bypass

5. Establish oil feed. Find a pressurized port on the side of the engine block. Most engines will have ports plugged with 1/8 ", 1/4 " or 3/8 "NPT plug. If these are not present, locate the oil pressure gauge and T into this port. Never use the oil feeding line of the Turbo unit.

6. Install all fittings with thread sealing fluid. Prevent thread sealing fluid to enter the hoses .

7. The return line has to be installed to a non-pressurized port.

8. Determine the oil return point. Most combustion engines have non-pressurized ports on the side of the crankcase or oil sump/pan. If none of these ports are available then return the oil to the valve cover, filling tube or oil pan.

Connecting The Hoses

9. Route the hoses to the in- and outlet ports at the bottom of the filter housing.

10. Connect the hoses with the fittings to the filter housing using the banjo bolts M10 x 1 with ring eye and copper washers.

11. Install all fittings with thread sealing fluid where necessary and prevent thread sealing fluid to enter the hoses and fittings.

12. Use zip ties to secure all hoses away from sharp, electrical and or hot surfaces.

13. Start the engine and check for leaks. Run the engine until it reaches operational temperature and check lubrication oil level and top up the required quantity of lubrication oil.

14. Check for oil circulation by checking the temperature of the filter housing.

NOTICE:
The filter housing will be warm or hot as oil is flowing through.

Installation On Automatic Transmissions

Mounting the filter housing

1. Using the installation bolts M8 x 40 mount the NTZ bypass filter housing in the desired location, keeping the following points in mind.

2. Mount the filter housing in a spot free from vibrations as close to the oil cooler, or the oil cooler inlet and outlet ports on the transmission, as possible to keep inlet and outlet hoses short and secure enough top side clearance for the element change.

3. Mark and drill the required amount of 8 mm holes, remove the Top lid of the filter housing and slide the 10 mm bolts into the support sleeves. Now fit the 10 mm spring washer and secure the bolts in the required position to the filter housing with the 10 mm nuts. Now install the filter housing by using the washers and 10 mm nut.

4. As this is a pressurized unit mounting can be done in any position. However the filter housing has to stand up vertically for convenient element change.

Installation in Bypass

5. Establish the oil feed to the filter housing by installing an appropriate T - connector in the inlet line of the transmission oil cooler.

6. Establish the oil return from the filter housing by installing an appropriate T- connector in the outlet line of the transmission cooler.

Connecting The Hoses

Route the hoses to the in- and outlet ports at the bottom of the filter housing.

8. Connect the hoses with the fittings to the filter housing using the banjo bolts M10 x 1 with ring eye and copper washers.

9. Install all fittings with thread sealing fluid where necessary and prevent thread sealing fluid to enter the hoses and fittings.

10. Use zip ties to secure all hoses away from sharp, electrical and or hot surfaces.

11. Start the engine and check for leaks. Run the engine and shift the transmission through all gears until it reaches operational temperature and check automatic transmission fluid level and top up the required quantity of transmission fluid.

12. Check for oil circulation by checking the temperature of the filter housing.

NOTICE:
The filter housing will be warm or hot as oil is flowing through.

Servicing

Cartridge change has to take place at the same time as the standard transmission oil change intervals, as described in the constructors service manual of the transmission. Check if you have the correct filter element for the filter housing. (see Specifications)

1. Remove replacement element and O-ring from the plastic bag.

2. Unscrew the top lid of the filter housing and remove the pressure lid with spring.

3. Remove the cartridge and put it in the enclosed plastic bag. Place the new cartridge and push it on the bottom plate. Place the pressure lid with spring back on the new cartridge.

4. Exchange the O-ring, clean sealing surfaces and screw the upper lid tight.

5. Run the engine till transmission fluid/lubrication oil is at operating temperature and check for leakages.

6. Check the transmission fluid/lubrication oil level and top up the necessary quantity.
