The actuator of steam turbine is a servomotor which provides power to the turbine control valve and the devices connected to it through the pressure difference of high-pressure EH oil. The oil quality in the actuator must be kept clean. The filter element AP1E102-01D10V/-W is a commonly used filter element for actuator. It is a pleated filter element made of fiberglass and stainless steel, which can effectively filter out pollutants in the oil and protect the actuator. However, if the factory cuts corners in the number of pleated layers, it will have a negative impact on the performance and filtration efficiency of the filter element:

1. Reduce filtration efficiency: If the number of pleated layers is not enough, the effective filtration area will decrease, leading to more impurities and particles that may pass through the filter element and cannot be effectively removed from the hydraulic system. May cause malfunctions and damage to machine equipment.

2. Shorten the service life of the filter element: Insufficient number of  layers means that the entire filter element has a smaller usable area and can accommodate relatively limited pollutants. Therefore, the service life of the filter element may be shortened, requiring more frequent replacement of the filter element. Instead, it increases maintenance costs and downtime.

3. Increase the risk of filter clogging: When the number of  layers of the filter is not enough, the gap between the filter layers is small, which is prone to clogging. Blocked filter elements can limit the flow rate of the hydraulic system and affect its normal operation.

4. Impact on the stability and durability of the filter element: Insufficient folding layers may lead to insufficient stability of the filter element structure, making it susceptible to high-pressure and hydraulic impacts. The structure of the filter element may become unstable or even rupture, thereby affecting the durability of the filter element.

Therefore, it is very important to ensure that the layers of the pleated hydraulic oil filter element are sufficient. The appropriate number of layers can ensure that the filter element has the necessary filtering area, provide good filtering accuracy and lifespan, and reduce the occurrence of blockage and other usage problems.
