Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>In many filtration applications, process parameters vary considerably due to differing boundary conditions. To develop a new filter apparatus, consequently the whole bandwidth of possible scenarios has to be considered for a fully functional real‐scale design. In order to reduce experimental efforts, analytical and numerical methods can be useful. For dimensioning of a new design apparatus for lube oil filtration in large diesel engines, a methodic approach could be developed with a mathematical model for the characteristics of the clogging process. With this method, all possible operative settings can be easily simulated and the experimental effort is considerably reduced.</p> </abstract>
