Compressed Air Filters

Product catalog summary
Coalescing Filtration Overview: Coalescing filtration systems are crucial for achieving ultra-clean compressed air by eliminating up to 99.99% of solid and liquid particulates as small as 0.1 micron. These systems are cost-effective, require minimal maintenance, and are compatible with all compressor lubricants.
Filter Elements: The primary component is the C-type coalescing element, constructed from borosilicate glass microfibre and a fluorocarbon binder. It has a dual-layer structure: an inner capture-layer for particulates and an outer drainage-layer for liquid droplets. These elements are disposable, reducing replacement costs.
Pressure Drop and Maintenance: The initial dry pressure drop is less than 0.15 bar, gradually increasing as particles accumulate. Replacement is advised when the pressure drop reaches 0.7 bar, with an optional indicator for visual alerts.
Filter Grades: - Grade 70C: 95% efficiency for general applications. - Grade 50C: 99.99% efficiency for high-quality air needs. - Grade CC: For vapour adsorption, used with Grade 50C prefilter.
Filter Housing Selection: Selection should be based on element grade, air flow, and line pressure, ensuring compatibility with pressure and temperature requirements, and selecting appropriate drain options.
Installation Guidelines: - Install filters close to equipment. - Do not exceed maximum flow rates. - Use prefilters and protect vapour adsorption cartridges appropriately.
Specifications: Various models are available with different port sizes, drain types, and construction materials. Specifications include maximum pressure, temperature, and dimensions, ensuring compatibility with diverse industrial needs.
Principal Specifications: Specifications for various filter models, including dimensions, materials, and pressure ratings, are outlined. Models such as FR310, FR315, FR360, and FR370 are detailed with their respective port sizes, gauge ports, drain types, maximum inlet pressures, and temperatures. Materials used include anodised aluminium, polycarbonate, and stainless steel.
Procedures and Recommendations: Guidelines for replacing filter elements and selecting appropriate grades for specific applications are provided. The importance of using correct suffixes for different housing materials and the need for bowl guards to protect against impact damage are emphasized.
Norms and Standards: Maximum operating conditions for filters, including temperature and pressure limits, are specified. Construction materials for different components are detailed to ensure compliance with safety and performance standards.
Accessories: Accessories such as gasket sets, mounting brackets, and differential pressure indicators are available for various filter models, enhancing the functionality and safety of the filters.
Vapour Adsorption Cartridges: Vapour adsorption cartridges are designed to remove oil vapour and odour from compressed air, using activated carbon cloth for efficient adsorption of organic vapours.
High Efficiency Coalescing Filtration: Coalescing filter regulators combine filtration and pressure regulation in a single unit, using grade 50C filter elements to provide clean, dry air at a constant pressure.
Flow Rates and Pressure Drops: Detailed tables provide information on air flow rates at various pressures and the corresponding pressure drops for different filter models and configurations.
