10.2 Heavy duty filter
Description
This system is equipped for "high efficiency" air filtration in order to improve the quality of the air intake and
to preserve the compressor's oil and internal filter components.
This option is particularly useful in very dusty surroundings.
Overview
• This option is used as a replacement for the standard filter
• The quality of the air intake by a compressor is essential. Low quality air creates the following :
• Quick pollution of the oil thus an increase in draining cycles.
• Binding of the air / oil separator before 4000 hours thus an increase in maintenance cycles and operation
costs.
• Pollution increases the elements that filter into the air and oil, speeding up the damage to the mechanical
components of the compressor, screw element, ...
• Installation of the filter(s), depending on the model, outside the compressor, for intake of fresh air, hence
resulting in a lower oil temperature and more efficient compression.
10.3 Pre-filtration panels
Description
Installing air filtration panels on the ventilation intakes guarantees protection of the compressor's internal
components and an increase in air sucked into the compression assembly.
This option is recommended if the heavy duty filtration option is installed
Overview
The pre-filtration panels eliminate 90% of the particles normally admitted inside the compressor and
considerably decrease internal contamination of the machine.
The high quality of the ventilation air is also essential for protecting internal components of the compressor
and, more specifically, the motor and the air / air and air / oil exchangers. Clogging in the exchangers creates
an increase in temperature, deterioration of the lubricant and the motor becomes overloaded thus increasing
the energy consumed.
