Kaeser Air Compressor Oil Filter Element – 6.3462.0

explain about this part number

The part number 6.3462.0 is a Kaeser Air Compressor Oil Filter Element used in rotary screw air compressors. Its primary function is to filter contaminants, carbon particles, dust, and metal debris from the compressor lubricant oil to ensure smooth and reliable compressor operation.

What Does This Oil Filter Do?

Inside a screw air compressor, lubricating oil performs several critical functions:

Lubrication of rotating components
Cooling the airend
Sealing internal clearances

Reducing wear and friction

The 6.3462.0 oil filter continuously cleans this oil by trapping impurities before the oil recirculates through the compressor system.

Working Process of the 6.3462.0 Oil Filter

1.Oil Circulation Starts
When the compressor runs:

Lubricating oil flows from the separator tank
Oil is pumped through the oil filter
Dirty oil enters the filter housing

2.Filtration Stage
Inside the filter:

Special filter media captures contaminants such as:
Dust
Carbon deposits

Metal particles
Sludge
Clean oil passes through the filter element

3.Clean Oil Returns to Compressor
After filtration:

Clean oil returns to the air end and bearings
Compressor components remain lubricated and cooled
Internal wear is minimized

4.Continuous Protection
The filter works continuously during compressor operation to:

Prevent oil contamination
Protect bearings and rotors
Improve oil life
Maintain compressor efficiency
