How to read this figure
- Reservoir. The fluid rests in the reservoir on the bench, with the suction and the return on top. Moving the cursor sideways changes how much contamination the fluid carries.
- Pump. The pump draws the fluid through the suction line and sends it under pressure toward the filter head.
- NANOFORCE™ pressure-line spin-on. All the pump flow crosses the pleated NANOFORCE™ element, drawn in section, where the particles are held. The readout shows the filter's load.
- Control-valve block. Downstream of the filter, the valve block with its spool caps along the top receives fluid that has just been cleaned: these close-tolerance spools are the components this position protects.
- Return. From the valves, the fluid goes back to the reservoir through the return line. In a real machine, a return-line filter would sit on this line.
- Service. Moving the cursor to the top, or pressing E, runs the service: the spin-on is replaced and the new one goes on clean. Head, pump and valves stay in place.
