C O N S L E R™ F I L T R A T I O N P R O D U C T S INDUSTRIAL FILTRATION PRODUCTS CONSLER LKV/HKV SERIES VACUUM FILTERS particle retention range from 0.3 to 750 microns. Optional filter medium materials i n c l u d e f i b e r g l a s s, c o t t o n, n y l o n, polypropylene, NOMEX*, rayon, wool, DACRON*, TEFLON*, and wire cloth providing an application range from subzero temperatures to 1000° F. Standard elements are furnished with a carbon steel center core and galvanized steel support frame. 304 Stainless Steel and other materials are also available. LKV 110-007 FT LKV 120-015 MT LKV 150-040 MT Features • Pleated, maximum area elements • Low pressure loss design • Large dirt holding capacity, longer operation between element changes • Positive sealing, high vacuum capability • Cleanable, reusable filter element • Modified and custom designs available Applications • Efficient removal of dust, dirt, pipescale, and other solid particulate from air and gas vacuum lines. • Positive protection of vacuum pumps and other pipeline equipment in vacuum furnace, distillation, packaging and other processes. • LKV for low vacuum service (above 1.0 Torr); HKV for high vacuum service (below 1.0 Torr). • Filtering of solid particles ranging from 0.3 to 750 microns in size. • Optional high temperature medias to +300° F. LKV 160-060 FL Housing Design and Construction LKV Series housings are designed for low vacuum services ranging from 760 Torr (atmospheric pressure) down to 1.0 Torr. HKV Series housings are designed and constructed for high vacuum applications operating in a range from 760 Torr down to 0.001 Torr. All sealing surfaces are machined to a 63 micro-inch finish to assure leak tightness under high vacuum service conditions. All models can be quickly serviced without breaking pipe connections and the inlet/outlet connections are furnished in a horizontal in-line configuration. Leg supports and hinged or swingaway closure devices are standard on larger sized models. All models provide a large volume sump area for collection of contaminants below the filter element. Standard filters may also be modified to meet unique or special application needs, including designing to higher pressures. • Materials of construction include carbon steel, 304 and 316 Stainless Steel as well as other alloys. Element Design and Construction Filter Materials & Ratings The LKV and HKV Series filters offer a replaceable, cleanable element that features a pleated or "radial fin" cartridge design. This design offers maximum filter area in a compact filter assembly, and provides positive gasket sealing to prevent by-pass of unfiltered fluids. Long filter life, low pressure drop, large dirt holding capacity, and efficient filtration are assured. Most models employ only one filter element to permit quick and simple cartridge changeout. • Housing–Carbon Steel Standard models LKV 115, HKV 115, and larger are furnished with a cleanable, sewn-end constructed element, which can be reconditioned before replacement is necessary. Following several field cleanings this unique element style can be returned to the factory for recovery and reconditioning. Element Materials Standard elements are furnished with a polyester filter medium providing 10 micron solids nominal retention . Vacuum filter elements are also supplied in many alternate materials offering a LKV 110: 1 Torr–150 PSIG at 100° F LKV 115–150, threaded or flanged conns: 1–760 Torr at 650° F LKV 160 & larger, flanged conns: 1 Torr–50 PSIG at 650° F HKV 110: 0.001 Torr–150 PSIG at 100° F HKV 115–150, threaded or flanged conns: 0.001–760 Torr at 650° F HKV 160 & larger, flanged conns: 0.001 Torr–50 PSIG at 650° F • Closure Gasket– NEOPRENE*–300° F max. • Standard "K5" Elements– LKV & HKV 110: 10 micron polyester media, wool gaskets; 200° F max.; cleanable LKV & HKV 115 & larger: 10 micron polyester media, wool gaskets; 200° F max.; cleanable & recoverable *DuPont registered trademark.

Capacity (ACFM) vs. Differential Pressure (mm Hg) at 60° F-Gas Specific Gravity 1.0 (Air)2 1. Values are based on actual test results or empirical 2. To determine proper filter sizing for gases other than air, multiply pressure drop by the correction factor for the appropriate gas from chart on back cover. For temperatures greater than 60° F, multiply pressure drop by the absolute temperature factor: 460 + f° F)
