🔹 Why You Need This System

Even in smaller engines and systems, oil contamination is one of the biggest causes of wear, inefficiency, and premature failure. Fine particles and moisture quickly degrade oil quality, reducing protection and increasing maintenance costs.

The KLEENOIL LDU9768KU16 Light Duty By-Pass Filtration Unit provides continuous oil conditioning while your system is running—removing contamination and water to maintain oil in near “as new” condition. This results in longer oil life, improved performance, and reduced downtime.

🔹 Suitability

Designed for smaller systems, the LDU9768KU16 is ideal for:

• Engines (up to approx. 16 litre sump capacity)
• Small hydraulic systems
• Gearboxes and transmissions
• Mobile plant and compact equipment
• Generators and compressors

It is particularly suited to applications where space is limited but maintaining clean oil remains critical.

🔹 How It Works

The unit operates as a bypass filtration system, continuously cleaning oil without interrupting normal system operation.

• A small volume of oil is taken from the system
• Oil is passed slowly through a high-efficiency cellulose filter
• Particles and water are removed
• Clean oil is returned back to the system

This controlled filtration process achieves 3 micron absolute filtration and removes up to 99.9% of water, significantly improving oil condition and extending service intervals.

🔹 Key Benefits

• Removes particles down to 3 micron absolute
• Removes 99.9% water (free, emulsified, dissolved)
• Extends oil life by up to 5x
• Reduces wear, downtime, and maintenance costs
• Improves system efficiency and reliability
• Compact design for smaller installations

🔹 Installation (Simple & Non-Intrusive)

The LDU9768KU16 is designed for quick and straightforward installation into existing systems.

The system is installed using:

• A pressure feed (inlet) from a low-pressure point
• A low-pressure return (outlet) back to the tank or sump

Typical setup:

1. Feed Line (Pressure Side)

• Take from an oil gallery or auxiliary low-pressure port

2. Return Line (Low Pressure)

• Return to sump, tank, or filler point
• Typically via dipstick or return fitting

3. Mounting

• Install vertically using the supplied bracket
• Keep pipe runs short and direct
• Ensure easy access for servicing

Important: Always install on a low-pressure feed. For hydraulic applications, a pressure reducing valve (PRV) may be required.
