Threaded filter (S040-M032) - BEKO TECHNOLOGIES - #8

Activated carbon filter A The flow through the activated carbon bed proceeds from the inside to the outside. Oil vapours and odours are adsorbed on the activated carbon. The carbon is incorporated into a binding fabric which ensures the reliable retention of dust particles. englishInstallation Function Filter C, G, F, S, N and R(x) Economic efficiency of filters CLEARPOINT filters undergo stringent quality control procedures in the manufacturing plant and are handed over to the forwarding agent in a perfect condition. Upon arrival of the goods, please check for any visible damage and, where appropriate, insist on a corresponding note on the delivery receipt. Get in touch immediately with the forwarding agent and arrange for an assessment of the damage. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused during transport. Solid particles are separated by impact and inertia ef- fect, oil and water aerosols by coalescence effect. Due to gravity, filtered out liquid particles gather in the lower part of the filter housing from where they are discharged either manually or automatically. With coalescence filters the direction of flow through the filter element is from the inside to the outside; with dust filters the flow moves from outside to the inside. Surface and depth filtersseries C, G, F, S, N and R(x) Activated carbon filter, series A Installation: In the course of time, particles accumulate in the filtration medium and reduce the space available for flow. Conse- quently, the flow resistance will gradually increase, which is indicated on the differential pressure gauge. It is recommended to replace the filter elements at a differential pressure of 0.4 bar or at least once a year, whichever comes first. If the element replacement is delayed any longer, the economic efficiency will suffer since the higher differential pressure has to be com- pensated by the upstream compressor. This will push up the electricity consumption and lead to greater wear on the compressor. In order to prolong the service life of the elements, the residual moisture of the inflowing gas should not exceed 80 %. The capacity of the elements will be exhausted after 6 months at the latest so that the element should then be replaced.The nominal diameters of the pipes should be as uni-form as possible in order to avoid creating additional flow resistance. Reduced pipe sections should only be installed where required for the partial-flow outlets (ring, connecting or supply lines). The bottom of the filter is double-threaded. It must therefore be ensured that the bottom is not installed with the slide facing backwards. For correct installation, the closed slide should face to the front.For better filter efficiency, it is recommended to install the device at a preferably cool, but frost-protected point along the pipe network. Positioning: The housing should be mounted in a vertical position. Observe the direction of flow which is indicated by an arrow on the housing. If the pipe network is affected by vibration, it is recom- mended to install vibration dampers. For replacing the filter elements it is necessary to leave a handling space of 850 mm above the blank flange (see page 19). The separation rates and service lives require filtration using a prefilter which is one grade coarser at each level (exception: coarse filters C series). The tubing in front of the filter must be clean. In the case of CLEARPOINT models supplied with a BEKOMAT condensate drain as a standard, please observe the instructions in the corresponding documen-tation. The BEKOMAT must be installed using in the connection set (see page 20). The condensate must be disposed of in compliance with the valid legal regulations. Condensate treatment As far as the version using a float drain is concerned, please follow the advice regarding the commen-ce- ment of operation on page 20. using an ÖWAMAT oil-water separator or a BEKOSPLIT emulsion splitting plant rep-resents a particularly economic solution.
