Kaeser Gives You the Air Quality You Require Ambient air contains contaminants that are drawn into the compressor. These contaminants are concentrated during compression and find their way into the compressed air system. A typical compressed air system is contaminated with abrasive solid particles such as dirt, rust and pipe scale, compressor lubricants, condensed water droplets, and oil and hydrocarbon vapors. Contaminated compressed air systems increase operating costs by robbing the air system of useful power. This results in reduced efficiency, damaged airoperated equipment, higher...

Filter Accessories Other Clean Air Treatment Products Oil Mist Eliminators (OME) Oil Mist Eliminators (OME) are large oil removal filters with a very low pressure drop. Not only do they remove both oil aerosols and water, but they can handle large slugs of liquid. The cartridge life is normally 8 to 15 years, requiring virtually no maintenance. Sizes: 125 – 3000 scfm High Pressure Filters (HP) High Pressure filters (HP) are available for applications requiring pressures up to 900 psig. They include seam welded stainless steel cores for greater durability and corrosion resistance. Condensate...

Note 1: All Kaeser Rotary Screw Compressors have built-in aftercoolers. However, for equipment without an aftercooler or where the discharge temperature is 110°F or higher, an aftercooler should be positioned at the location shown. KFS/KPF/KOR/KOX filter elements should be replaced at 10 psid (red area of Delta P gauge) or annually, whichever occurs first. KVF filter elements should be replaced after 1,000 hours of operation or annually, whichever occurs first. Kaeser recommends processing condensate through the KCF which safely and economically disposes of the environmentally threatening...
