Series HX Compressed Air Filters
Parker’s HX-Series filters represent the most advanced coalescing filter technologies of today. Due to the breadth of
this series product line, they are very versatile and the types of applications they will work in is nearly limitless.
The filters are offered with five basic types of filter media:
Fine Coalescers:
Remove liquid and tiny solid contaminants from compressed air. Types
4C, 6C, XF
Bulk or Pre-coalescers:
Remove large quantities of liquid contaminants / tiny solids. Types
7CP, 8C, 10C
Water Separator:
Remove bulk liquids from compressed air. Type
WS
Particulate:
Remove larger solid contaminants from compressed air. Type
3P
Adsorber:
Remove oil vapor from compressed air. Type
A
The filters are supplied with either manual drains or auto drains as well as differential pressure gauges or plugged
gauge ports. Differential pressure gauges are standard on filters beginning with bowl size “C” and larger. They are
optional on “B and BH” sizes. See 2.1 below for part number breakdown.
All HX-Series filters are designed to minimize operating differential pressure which will result in low operating costs. A
number of innovations in both housing design and filter element design combine to result in low energy consumption
and operating costs. They are detailed in the HX-Series general brochure. See Section 9 for accessories.
1.1
Scope of Delivery
These filters are supplied in a ready to operate condition and can be installed directly into the compressed
air system. Some of the accessories mentioned later in this manual are supplied in separate packages and
should be installed according to their own instruction sheets.
