Graver Technologies CONSLER PME/KME SERIES EXHAUST SEPARATORS Features • Multi-stage design coalescing element • Low pressure drop & long element life • Economical, replaceable elements • Direct mounting to machinery • Oil return drain minimizes oil loss and allows recycling of filtered oil • Custom modified element and housing designs available Applications • High efficiency separation of oil, aerosols and smoke from an air or gas exhaust stream. • Removal of liquids and solids down to 0.3pm in size. Efficiencies to 99.95%. • Effective elimination of visible oil, smoke and mist from rotary and reciprocating vacuum pump discharge air. • Use as a fine filter/breather on compressor or turbine oil sumps, or liquid tank reservoir vents. • Idealfor satisfying O.E.M. requirements and specifications. Element Performance The PME Series "oil mist and smoke eliminators" feature a highly efficient coalescing design element. The filter's cylindrical, multi-stage element effectively removes the heavy concentrations of oil mist and oil smoke from the exhaust stream of oil-sealed, oil-lubricated, mechanical vacuum pumps. The filter can also be used in special applications as a mist eliminator/breather when it is installed on the vent connection of compressor or turbine oil sumps, or liquid tank reservoirs. Generally speaking, coalescing is simply a "gathering" of minute liquid droplets to form larger droplets. The small droplets that enter the inside of the multi-stage element are intercepted or impinged by the filter medium and Once formed, the larger droplets drain off the outside of the element and fall by gravity to the bottom of the filter housing where a drain connection is provided for removing and/or recycling the coalesced oil. The element actually becomes more efficient as it is wetted or saturated with liquid, and will provide long service life before replacement is required. At rated flow, the initial pressure loss is 2.5 psi. Filter oversizing or the use of special, custom element materials is recommended for applications where lower differential pressure is required. Element Design and Construction The multi-stage design element is constructed with two concentric tubes of ultra-fine fiberglass along with metallic sleeves for structural support and drainage assistance. The fiberglass material portion consists of an inner, ultra-high efficiency stage to coalesce fine droplets, and an outer, coarser stage for promoting liquid drainage and preventing re-entrainment. The element end seals are composed of a molded, flexible, oil-resistant plastisol material which provides for a positive leak-tight seal. The elements may be custom modified to satisfy each original equipment manufacturer's requirements for specific separation efficiencies, flow rates, and differential pressure levels. Housing Design and Construction The PME Series offers lightweight, compact filter housings. The units may be mounted directly to the exhaust port of a vacuum pump and are easily disassembled when servicing. KME models may be used in applications with inlet pressures up to 10 psi. A minimum inlet pressure of % to 1 psi is required for proper functioning of the filter. Our standard filter housings may also be custom modified to meet application needs. Typical design modifications include special end connection types and sizes, and special controls and accessories. One modified version of a standard housing uses a flanged cover to provide a leak-tight seal in applications where the outlet exhaust line is piped away from the pump/process access area. Housing Materials The PME Series housings are fabricated from heavy-gauge carbon steel. A rust preventative primer coating is provided beneath a durable all-weather paint. Alternate materials including stainless steel are available.
