Description
OIL-X Die-cast Aluminium Compressed Air Filters
Grade AO General Purpose & Grade AA High Efficiency Coalescing & Dry Particulate Filters (¼”- 3″)
Coalescing & Dry Particulate Filters
Coalescing filters are the most important items of purification equipment in any compressed air system. They are designed to treat 6 of the 10 main contaminants found in compressed air (aerosols of oil & water and solid particulates such as atmospheric particulate, rust, pipescale and micro-organisms).
The origins of modern compressed air filtration can be traced back to domnick hunter in 1963, it was the first company to use microfibre filter media for purification applications, changing the compressed air industry forever. The OIL-X filter range was the first filter range to fully utilise this ground breaking technology and has always been synonymous with high quality compressed air. Now in the 21st century, the OIL-X name remains, but the technology has evolved beyond recognition.
Parker’s OIL-X Filter Range
Since the introduction of the first OIL-X range, Parker has continued to develop both the compressed air filter and the standards governing compressed air quality. Constantly innovated, OIL-X has become the leading technology for compressed air filtration, providing the exact balance between air quality, energy efficiency and low lifetime costs.
Advantages
- Meets or exceeds the requirements for delivered air quality shown in all editions of ISO8573-1, the international standard for compressed air quality
- Deep pleated filter element – Filter media is constructed to reduce air flow velocity and pressure loss whilst providing increased dirt holding capacity, and improved filtration efficiency
- Flow management system – Engineered to provide smooth air flow from entry to exit, the filter element design includes a 90-degree elbow, turning vanes and conical flow diffuser to promote a consistent, optimum air flow with minimal pressure loss
- Filter Media Optimization – The flow management system also evenly distributes compressed air flow throughout the element ensuring optimum filtration performance again with low pressure loss
- Parker OIL-X coalescing and dry particulate filters are fully tested – In accordance with ISO12500-1 / ISO8573-2 for oil aerosol and ISO8573-4 for particulate
- Filtration performance independently validated – by Lloyds Register
