Starting up the MRF 

The MRF is supplied ex works without any filter elements. Prior to commissioning, 
insert the filter elements into the filter housing as shown on page 25. 

 

Setting up the MRF 

Set up the unit horizontally on a level surface. 

Make sure that there is sufficient space above the filter housing to remove the filter 
elements. 

 

Notes on pipes and hoses 

Make sure that no vibrations or stress/loading from other machinery and equipment 
are carried over to filter housing. If necessary, use expansion joints. 

The pressure loss in a hydraulic line depends upon: 

 Flow 

Rate 

 Kinematic 

viscosity 

 Pipe 

dimensions 

 fluid 

density 

The pressure loss can be estimated for hydraulic oils as follows: 

Δ

p ~ 6.8 * L / d

4

 * Q * V * D 

Δ

p  =  Pressure differential in [bar] 

L

 

=  Line length [m] 

d

 

=  Internal line diameter [mm] 

Q

 

=  Flow rate [l/min] 

=  Kinematic viscosity [mm²/s] 

=  Density [kg/dm³] 

Mineral oil based hydraulic fluid has a density of 
~ 0.9 kg/dm³. 

 

This applies to straight pipelines and hydraulic oils. Additional threaded connections 
and pipe bends increase the pressure differential. Additional threaded connections 
and pipe bends increase the pressure differential. 

Keep the height difference between the pump and the oil level in the tank as low as 
possible. 

Hoses must be suitable for suction pressures of at least -0.5 bar. 

Constrictions in the connections and lines should be avoided. This could 
compromise suction output and cause cavitation .
