Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Super High Efficiency Coalescing Filters (SHECF) are designed to remove liquid aerosols from compressed air and gas streams, providing protection for compressed air dryers by preventing erosion and clogging.

Specifications
- Lowest oil penetration: Less than 0.0014 ppmw
- Lowest saturated pressure drop: Less than 3.0 psi
- Performance numbers: Greater than 140
- Life numbers: Greater than 90

Design and Efficiency
The SHECF features optimized pore size and media thickness for maximum aerosol removal efficiency and high energy efficiency. The performance is verified through extensive testing, with performance numbers exceeding 140.

Cartridge Life
The cartridge life is extended due to pleated media, which provides high surface area and dirt holding capacity. Life numbers are greater than 90, significantly higher than typical cartridges.

Materials of Construction
- Filter Media: Epoxy Coated Glass Fibers
- Support Core: Plated Carbon Steel
- Outlet Cage: Plated Carbon Steel
- Drain Layer: Polyester
- End Caps: Plated Carbon Steel
- Seals: Buna-N (low temp) / Silicone (high temp)

Product Specifications
- Maximum temperature: 160ºF
- Flow rates range from 60 to 1200 SCFM
- Maximum DP for cartridge: 50 PSID
- Assembly dry DP: 0.9 to 2.0 PSID
- Assembly saturated DP: 1.8 to 3.0 PSID

T H E B E ST PR OT E CT I O N F O R YO U R C O M PR E S S E D AI R D RYE R... Since 1946, the world has turned to SPX FLOW’s Pneumatic Products brand for the quality and service demanded by the most critical of applications. Global leaders of The Super High Efficiency Coalescing Filters (SHECF) are designed to remove liquid aerosols from compressed air and gas streams. Located upstream of air dryers, coalescing filters intercept liquid aerosols and coalesce them into larger droplets which are easily removed by gravity. These larger droplets pass through the filter medium and drain into the filter...

Super High Efficiency Coalescing Filter Elements-3

LONG CARTRIDGE LIFE The life of the cartridge in service is equally important. Unlike liquid aerosols which pass through the medium and are removed from the air system, particulate contaminants accumulate on the filter causing increased pressure drop and loss of energy efficiency. Fixed fiber/fixed pore construction inhibits channeling and media migration. The SHECF's incorporate pleated media resulting in high surface area with high dirt holding capacity and extended cartridge life. We have measured the dirt holding capacity of its HECF's in order to evaluate cartridge life. This is expressed...
