Coolant & Water Filters
Coolant and Water Filters
Coolant and water filters play an important role in the continued functionality and performance of trucks and heavy vehicles, as they maintain engine temperatures, minimise chemical and particle contamination, assist in emission control, reduce rust buildup, and more. An improperly maintained filer system could lead to wear, damage, or even unbalance that could cause both immediate and future issues for drivers.
Coolant filters
Coolant filters are commonly found on most types of diesel engines and perform proper engine heat transfer by stopping solid contaminants from reaching the coolant system. This is typically performed via a mechanical filtration process that uses a fine woven material like paper to remove sand, rust particles, and more. When coolant filters are properly installed and maintained, drivers and truck owners can expect:
- A clean, well-functioning engine cooling system
- Proper engine heat dissipation
- Minimal corrosion
- Better heat conductivity for improved engine efficiency
Water filters
Water filters go hand in hand with coolant filters to ensure that coolant not only performs at maximum capacity, but that this performance is maintained for an extended service period. Water filters are an important component of a complete preventive maintenance routine for trucks and similar heavy vehicles and can provide:
- An extended lifespan for water pumps
- Better protection against cavitation corrosion
- An extended lifespan for coolant
- Improved heat transfer
