Undoubtedly. each filter on a vehicle is just as important as the next. While most people have a good idea of what role an oil or air filter plays, the exact purpose of a coolant filter seems more abstract.
Why Coolant Filters?
Coolant filters on diesel engines are designed to remove:
Coolant filters mechanically filter the coolant through fine media, removing impurities such as sand and rust particles suspended in the coolant.
-
Coolant filters provide many basic roles for engines, two of which include:
-
Ensure a clean cooling system
-
Improve heat conductivity when chemical additives are utilized
Coolant filters trap and hold sludge and other contaminates, while dispensing chemial additives that protect the system from its three arch enemies: ( Scale, Corrosion and cavitation erosion ).
Rust particles are particularly nasty. If they are not filtered out of the coolant, they will quickly damage aluminum and similar soft-metal cooling system components.
