Economic efficiency of filters
Surface and depth filters series C, F, S and R(x)
In the course of time, particles accumulate in the filtra -
tion medium and reduce the space available for flow.
Consequently, the flow resistance will gradually increase,
which is indicated on the differential pressure gauge.
It is recommended to replace the filter elements at a
differential pressure of 0.4 bar or at least once a year,
whichever comes first. If the element replacement is
delayed any longer, the economic efficiency will suffer
since the higher differential pressure has to be com -
pensated by the upstream compressor. This will push
up the electricity consumption and lead to greater wear
on the compressor.
Activated carbon filter, series A
In order to prolong the service life of the elements, the
residual moisture of the inflowing gas should not exceed
80 %. The capacity of the elements will be exhausted
after 6 months at the latest so that the element should
then be replaced.
The nominal diameters of the pipes should be as uni-
form as possible in order to avoid creating additional
flow resistance. Reduced pipe sections should only be
installed where required for the partialflow outlets (ring,
connecting or supply lines).
Installation
CLEARPOINT
®
water separators and filters undergo
stringent quality control procedures in the manufacturing
plant and are handed over to the forwarding agent in a
perfect condition. Upon arrival of the goods, please check
for any visible damage and, where appropriate, insist on
a corresponding note on the delivery receipt. Get in touch
immediately with the forwarding agent and arrange for
an assessment of the damage. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage caused during transport.
Positioning:
The plant operator must ensure that the device is firmly
fixed and protected against exterior mechanical effects.
The housing should be mounted in a vertical position.
Observe the direction of flow which is indicated by an
arrow on the housing.
Where required, the filter(s) should be additionally fixed
using wall brackets (max. of 3 filter combinations with 3
filters per set of wall brackets). Incoming and outgoing
pipes (also at the condensate outlet) must be mounted
without placing them under mechanical strain. The wa-
ter separator/filter should be installed in an easily ac -
cessible position, so that any possible measuring points
will also be easy to see and access.
For replacing the filter elements it is necessary to leave
a handling space under the housing (see page 18 ).
Installation:
The housing bottom has a fine thread on the side facing
the filter head. For correct installation, the closed slide
should face to the front.
For better filter efficiency, it is recommended to install
the device at a preferably cool, but frost-protected point
along the pipe network.
In the case of
CLEARPOINT
®
12 PN 63 models supplied
with a
BEKOMAT
®
condensate drain as a standard,
please observe the instructions in the corresponding
documentation. For montering the
BEKOMAT
®
unit
please use the connection kit (see drawing on page 18).
The condensate must be disposed of in compliance with
the valid legal regulations. Condensate treatment using
an ÖWAMAT oil-water separator or a
BEKOSPLIT
®
emulsion splitting plant represents a par-
ticularly economic solution.
Function
Water separator
The separator housings are equipped with internal
swirl inserts, that cause air entering at high speed to be
invested with a rapid rotating motion. The acceleration
this causes produces a large centrifugal force on the
particles and droplets within the compressed air, which
propels them onto the outer wall. Gravity causes them
to drip from there into the collecting chamber from which
they are then drained.
Filter CX, FX, SX and R(x)
Solid particles are separated by impact and inertia ef-
fect, oil and water aerosols by coalescence effect. Due
to gravity, filtered out liquid particles gather in the lower
part of the filter housing from where they are discharged
either manually or automatically. With coalescence filters
the direction of flow through the filter element is from the
inside to the outside; with dust filters the flow moves from
outside to the inside.
Activated carbon filter A
The flow through the activated carbon bed proceeds
from the inside to the outside. Oil vapours and odours
are adsorbed on the activated carbon. The carbon is
incorporated into a binding fabric which ensures the
reliable retention of dust particles.
