Description

OIL-X Die-cast Aluminium Compressed Air Filters

Grade ACS In-line, Point of Use Oil Vapour Reduction Filters (1/4”~ 3”)

In-line, Point of Use Oil Vapour Reduction Filters

Oil vapour is present in all compressed air systems, even those using oil-free compressors. Left untreated, oil vapour can cool, condense and form liquid and aerosols of oil in the compressed air piping or at critical applications.

Whilst many systems are protected with plant scale oil vapour reduction systems in the compressor room such as the Parker OIL-X Grade OVR, years of contamination in the distribution piping from untreated compressed air can still lead to the presence of oil vapour, liquid and aerosol oil at the point of use.

Whilst additional Parker OIL-X Grade OVR can be installed at critical points of use to treat contamination in the distribution piping, these may be oversized for some smaller, point of use applications, therefore the Parker OIL-X Grade ACS filters can be used.

Using the same filter housings as their coalescing and dry particulate counterparts in the OIL-X range, Grade ACS filter elements differ in that they utilise a deep wrapped bed of carbon cloth to adsorb oil vapour.

It is important to note, in-line adsorption filter elements have a different life span compared to coalescing and dry particulate filters and require more frequent element changes. Should a 12 month service period be required, Parker OIL-X Grade OVR oil vapour reduction filters are recommended.
