Maintenance
Hazard due to a sudden release of pressure!
Never remove any parts of the filter for as long as the filter is still pressurized!
Depressurize the filter before carrying out any work on the filter.
Filter elements are subject to wear. In order to maintain system efficiency, optimal
performance and best air quality, these rules of proper maintenance should be followed:
•
If installed, regularly check pressure drop indicator to ensure filter element is not
saturated and pressure drop is within acceptable limits
•
If installed, ensure a trouble-free operation of the condensate drain.
•
Replace filter elements, as stated in the filter element product data sheet.
•
Never use unsuitable tools to open and close the filter housings.
•
The housing O-ring can be damaged during filter element change. To prevent air
leakage and malfunction, replace the housing O-ring if necessary for the
replacement contact manufacturer.
•
Damaged components are to be replaced by new ones. If a marked degree of
damage is found, the entire filter is to be replaced.
•
The Filter has been designed for a life of 10 years in a normal operating
environment. After ten years, periodical checks of filter integrity are strongly
recommended for safe operation.
•
Slowly apply pressure and carry out a check for leaks once the maintenance work
has been finished.
Disposing of filter elements:
The filter element or cartridge might be contaminated by the filtered substances. Heed the
notes on hazardous substances for the filtered gas and appropriate disposal regulations
when disposing.
