DESCRIPTION
The FILTAIRE is a filtering device designed to trap heavy hydrocarbons
commonly present in LPG gas vapor. It also traps other materials, which may be
in the gas due to storage conditions and internal condition of the equipment.
Impurities are collected in the system and periodically removed through the
system blow down drain. Residual heavy end hydrocarbons with boiling points
higher than pure LPG are trapped by the filter and fall to the bottom for removal.
A complete FILTAIRE system consists of inlet and outlet connections, a blow-
down drain (5), a pressure gauge (4), a vent which is normally plugged (6), and a
bypass valve system for cleaning (1, 2, and 3). The bypass valves enable the
system to continue operating when the FILTAIRE is removed for cleaning (
see
Figure1
).
Note: Items 4, 5 and 6 are included with FILTAIRE assemblies.
