Centrifugal oil filter ideas

Where is used the filter and why oil flow does change over time?

Such filters are often used for big machines as pre-filter and run at constant speed.

It is better if you filter in a special circuit with a constant pump so that the flow is maintained same all time along.

Filter for Large Engines but not all are able to maintain requisite pressure so in such cases an added mechanism to correct this is to be provided.

Frankly, entire picture does not come into my brain as I read your question over and over.

My understanding is like these.

- Your centri oil filter is self rotating. It does not need any external driver.

- You want to maintain the centri oil filter as rotate, but when a certain case, oil pressure drops and consequently centri oil filter stops.

- Since centri oil filter stops, so you can not provide filtered oil to the system~! (--> and this is the case you want to avoid~!)

However, If your ultimate goal is to maintain the filtered oil provided stably, then your 2) could be better than 1).

Be careful of the followings even adapt 2)

1. Check the oil mass balance in the system, the more oil you suct into the centri oil filter by any mean will mean that the lesser oil remained in the sucted part. The sucted part could be the system. It may cause the bigger hell.

2. Remove the reason(s) that makes oil pressure fluctuating. If such fluctuating is quite natural and unavoidable, then add small oil makeup system when the oil pressure is down (instead of routing oil here and there)
