Compressed Gas Filters

Share via:

Overview

Compressed gas filters are essential for protecting equipment by removing contaminants that can damage performance and reduce efficiency. These contaminants include:

  • Rust & pipe scale from gas pipelines.
  • Dirt & debris from maintenance or environmental exposure.
  • Moisture that condenses as gas cools.

Function & Placement

Compressed gas filters are installed upstream of regulators, valves, and other sensitive components, ensuring safe and efficient system operation.

Types of Compressed Gas Filters

  1. Particulate Filters

    • Remove solid particles (dust, rust, debris).
    • Made of metal or ceramic elements.
    • Available as disposable or cleanable options.
  2. Coalescing Filters

    • Remove liquid droplets and aerosols.
    • Use fine fiber media to merge small droplets into larger ones for drainage.
  3. Adsorbent Filters

    • Remove gaseous contaminants (e.g., oil vapors).
    • Utilize activated carbon or specialized media to trap impurities.

These filters ensure longer equipment lifespan, reduced maintenance costs, and optimal system performance.
