OIL-X Die-cast Aluminium Compressed Air Filters

Grade OVR – Oil Vapour Reduction Filters

Technically oil free compressed air

When compressed air purity in accordance with ISO8573-1 Class 0 or Class 1 for total oil is required, the Parker OIL-X Grade OVR Oil Vapour Reduction filter is an essential component of the compressed air treatment system.

Providing ‘Technically Oil Free Compressed Air’ from either oil free or oil lubricated compressors, OIL-X Grade OVR filters are designed to reduce oil vapour and also overcome the issues of traditional loose filled carbon towers.

The loose filled beds of carbon towers offer reduced contact time due to unrestricted air channelling, meaning they are prone to movement of the carbon adsorbent during operation; resulting in degrading performance, attrition of the adsorbent material, high particulate generation and blockage of downstream filters.

Manufactured from extruded aluminium, the Parker OIL-X Grade OVR is smaller and lighter than equivalent carbon towers. Compact activated carbon cartridges utilise a unique filling technique to maximise packing density of the adsorbent bed. Retained to prevent movement, 100% of the activated carbon bed is then utilised during operation, guaranteeing performance, whilst the heavy attrition, dusting and blocked particulate filters associated with carbon tower designs is eliminated. The use of cartridges also provides trouble free maintenance, reducing system downtime.

Oil free plant air can be affected by many factors such as pressure, temperature, air flow, oil concentration and humidity. The OVR selection process considers all of these factors to ensure consistent outlet air quality over 12 months of continuous operation

Advantages

• Delivered air quality to ISO8573-1 Class 0 (≤ 0.003 mg/m³) or ISO8573-1 Class 1 for total oil – Tested in accordance with ISO8573-5 and 3rd party performance validated by Lloyds Register
• Suitable for use with oil lubricated and oil free compressors – OVR provides Technically Oil Free Air’ when used in conjunction with Parker OIL-X GradeAO & AA coalescing filters
• Air Quality Guarantee – OVR is matched to all inlet parameters maintaining effective operation for 12 months. Correct sizing ensures seasonal variations in temperature does not affect delivered air quality
• FDA Title 21 compliant & EC1935 exempt – Materials of construction make OVR  with applications in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries
• Plant Scale or application specific oil vapour reduction – Can be installed in the compressor room for plant scale protection, at point of use to protect critical applications (or both if old, contaminated piping is in use)
• Unique adsorbent fill technique – Providing maximum packing density, eliminating dusting, performance degradation and blocked outlet filters•
• Simple, easy maintenance – Servicing of OVR is easy as piping can remain in-situ, whilst use of active carbon cartridges offers quick, clean, simple maintenance
