Feasibility Study on Structure Optimization of Filter Elements for Hydraulic Pipelines

The goal of this paper is to form a mathematic model indicating the relationship between the structural parameters of a filter element and its pressure drop. Under study a plait stainless steel filter element used for a hydraulic pipeline filtration system, search for the optimized structural parameters of a filter element used for XYZ-100 lubricating stations and simulate numerically its optimized structural parameters that are worked out theoretically by means of the FLUENT technology of CFD software. Based on the theoretical model, the optimized structural parameters are proved to be feasible through contrasting the theoretical outcome with the simulated outcome.
