Hiross Compressed Air Oil Vapor Filter

Ayater filter element replacement

Throughout its life, the filter element is constantly under bombardment from oily, acidic condensate and high velocity dirt particles, which it has to remove and retain to protect yout compressed air system. Over time, this can weaken the filter media and reduce filtration performance. Annual filter element changes are therefore essential, and failure to replace every year could result in reduced production performance, degrading air quality and increased operational costs.

Line filter working principle

▶   The air enters the filter.

▶   The air passes through the filter element, which holds virtually all solid and liquid particles with a size higher than the grade of filtration installed.

▶   The filtered liquid and solid particles drop to the bottom of the filter to be removed by the condensate drain.

▶   The filtered air exits the filter.

Hiross compressed air filter Introduction

The  Q,  P and  S grades are coalescing filters for liquid and oily condensates. The particles are held by the filter element surface depending on their size (mechanical filtration) as follows:

• Particles > 1 micron: these are captured by inertial impact on the element surface.

• Particles 0,3 - 1 micron: these are collected by direct interception, whereby the particles collide with the filter fibre and stick to it.

• Particeles < 1 micron: these are held by casual collision (Brownian motion), whereby they move across the streamline and are picked up by the filter fibre.

The D grade are filters for dry dust up to 3 micron. Reserve flow maximises the filtration surface and facilitates dust removal. The element life is lenghtened and pressure drops are further reduced, thus saving energy. The element has been specially strenghtened to optimise reverse flow operation.

The C grade are active carbon filters and remove oil vapours and odours thourg adsorption.
