FILTER CARTRIDGES
New filter cartridges are vacuum-packed and can be stored
for two years (refer to date on the cartridge). A defective
vacuum package cannot protect the cartridge appropri­
ately against environmental influences during storage.
Should the package be damaged, do not use the cartridge.
To avoid any danger to your health or damage to your unit,
change used up cartridges in good time.
Never fill used up cartridges yourself! The filter material was
chosen specifically by BAUER-KOMPRESSOREN for each
kind of application.
Pay attention to cleanliness an hygiene when changing the
filter.
FILTER SERVICE LIFETIME
The average weight (without package) of a new cartridge
and the increase in weight can be checked with appropriate
weighing scales. Due to inevitable production tolerances,
there may be small differences compared to the given data.
The number of operating hours or the amount of possible
bottle fillings per filter cartridge can be determined by the
tables on page 20 and 21 taking into consideration the
ambient temperature and the cartridge used.
These tables contain calculated cartridge lifetime data, that
refer to defined and constant operating conditions. Toler­
ances at bottle fillings and different operating tempera­
tures can lead to considerable divergences compared to
data given, which therefore can only serve as reference va­
lues for the user.
Cartridge 057679 is the normal TRIPLEX-cartridge for
electric units.
Filling weight: 191 g; Saturation weight 205 g.
Example:
at an ambient temperature of 20
°
C, 36 to 45
10-ltr-bottles can be filled with a TRIPLEX-cartridge, which
is equivalent to 12 to 15 compressor operating hours at a
filling pressure of 200 bar.
On compressor units with petrol engines only use
car­
tridge, part no. 059183 to dry, de-oil and remove CO.
Filling weight: 217 g; Saturation weight 229 g.
Example:
at an ambient temperature of 20
°
C, 31 to 38
10-ltr-bottles can be filled with this cartridge, which is
equivalent to between 10 and 13 operating hours at a filling
pressure of 200 bar.
The longer service life of the cartridge at
a filling pressure of 300 bar is annihilated
by the larger volume of filled air per
bottle, therefore the possible number of bottle fillings
stays the same at different pressures.
CARTRIDGE CHANGE
For safety reasons only CO removal
cartridges part no. 059183 should
be used on compressor units with
petrol engine. On units with electric engine either CO
removal cartridge part no. 059183 or TRIPLEX car­
tridge part no. 057679 can be used.
Units with petrol engine are delivered
with CO removal cartridge part no.
059183 as standard, units with electric
engine with TRIPLEX cartridge part no. 057679.
When changing from electric engine to a petrol en­
gine also replace cartridge part no. 057679 with car­
tridge part no. 059183.
Never remove replacement cartridge
from packaging prior to actual use other­
wise highly sensitive molecular sieve will
absorb water vapour from surrounding air and car­
tridge saturated and thus be ruined.
- Prior to changing the filter cartridge, drain condensate
and depressurize filter system completely by opening
condensate drain valves.
- Remove filter head (4, Fig. 19).
- Extract old cartridge and insert a new one.
- Screw in filter head to the stop without use of force.
The used cartridge must be disposed of
according to local regulations.
