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.
