If compressed air simply is to be clean

Quality Run-time rSafety and Environmental Protection What is ...? Compressed air is energy in the form of compressed ambient air. Compressed air is permanently trying to expand back to atmospheric pressure and thus performs work during the expansion process. Besides electrical energy compressed air is one of the most important forms of power for industrial production processes and is widely used thanks to numerous advantages: ■ Can be produced locally and on demand ■ Can be stored easily and without losses ■ Can be transported easily ■ High amount of energy per volume ■ Can be easily converted...

Compressed air filters -Design and accessories Automatic condensate drains automatically discharges the separated liquids from the compressed air system. These condensate drains operate mechanically and are mounted inside or outside the filter housing. Differential pressure gauges measure the differential pressure across the filter element. It indicates when a filter element needs to be replaced either because it has reached the end of its useful life or if a large amount of contamination has been discharged upstream. Filter housings are pressure housings with a method for supporting the filter element,...

Water separation Separation of large, „heavy“ and therefore slow, amounts of liquid from a compressed air flow by means of gravitational forces, centrifugal forces, inertial effects etc. The differential pressure is constant. The direction of flow depends on the operation principle. Dry-type filtration Separation of solid contaminants from the compressed air flow. The solid contaminants contact the fibres of the filter media, where they remain. A coarse and a fine multi-layer filter media are often used in combination (2-stage dry separator). The coarse filter media protects the fine filter media...

The advantages at a glance Double surface protection The high-grade, corrosion-resistant aluminium filter housings (FCA and FMA series) are manufactured by means of completely chrome(VI)-free passivation and finished with an impact-proof and abrasion-proof powder coating on the outer side. Steel filter housings (FWS series) have a primer of a polyester resin base on the inner and outer sides and, additionally, a high-grade 2-component acrylic paint layer on the outer side. High-pressure, steel filter housings (FMS series) are manufactured by means of iron phosphate passivation and have an additional...

Filter media High-quality compressed air filtration starts with selecting the correct filter media. FST therefore uses high-quality filter media of well-known European manufacturers. At the same time, the FST filter elements stop the perpetual discussion about the use of filter media with or without binders. The FST filter elements contain both types which are layered. This neutralises the inherent disadvantages and, as a result, retains the advantages of both types. The fine filter media is protected on both sides using a supporting fabric to increase both the stability and reliability. Pleated...

Compressed air filtration setting new standards -With regard to performance, efficiency and operational reliability Series FCA filters are used to remove solid, liquid and, when using activated carbon cartridges, gaseous contaminants from compressed air flows. In addition to liquids and dust, the filters practically remove all oil droplets and finest dust particles from the compressed air. Filters with activated carbon cartridges remove practically all oil vapour and odours. Series FCA filters consist of an aluminium die-cast housing, which is pressure-rated up to 16 bar and provided with threaded connections...
