• Oil pumps for the HE QSK 60G share the same features, but are different for
50/60 Hz applications.
•At 1800 rpm flow rates are ; QSK 60G - 270 gallons/min.
•Oil pan mounted.
• Crankshaft Driven (gearing 1.32 :1).
• Integral Pressure Regulator - Regulator opens at 58 +/- 3 psi

QSK
– Venturi Combination
Filtration System
Venturi Combo
What does it do ?
Generates flow through the highly restrictive bypass media.
Reduces the required filter restriction.
How does it do it ?
The flow through full flow element is restricted by the
nozzle throat, forcing more flow through the bypass section.
A low pressure zone created in the throat of the nozzle,
generates a suction on the outlet of bypass media, pulling
more flow through the bypass section.
The nozzle diffuser reduces the fluid velocity, recovering a
portion of the energy lost in the throat. This effectively
reduces the total restriction of the filter.

Venturi Combo Design
>10% of Flow
<90% of Flow
Single Inlet
Nozzle throat restricts flow from full flow media From Pump
forcing more through stacked disc media.
Then the diffuser of the nozzle reduces velocity, reducing the effective total filter restriction.
