10.2 Function
VF25, FF5, MFO, MF1, SMA Filters
Filter elements with the specifications VF25, FF5, MFO, MF1 and SMA, separate solid
particles by collision and inertia effects, whilst oil and water aerosols are separated by the
coalescence effect. Due to gravity, the filtered liquid particles accumulate at the bottom of
the filter, from where they are manually or automatically drained. The flow direction is from
inside to outside.
CA Filters
The activated carbon element adsorbs oil vapours and odours, which are imbedded in the
activated carbon. An SMA filter must be installed upstream of this CA element in order to
reduce aerosols, water vapour and smallest particles before they reach the element. This
upstream filtration increases the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon element. The
flow direction is from inside to outside.
DMF, DF1, DSF Filters
The dust filter elements with the specifications DMF, DF1 and DSF, separate solid particles
by collision and inertia effects. Due to gravity, the filtered liquid particles accumulate at
the bottom of the filter, from where they are drained. The flow direction is from outside to
inside.
Filter VP MFO and V SMA and V MFO
With the filter elements of specifications MFO and SMA solids are separated by impact and
inertia effect, oil- and water aerosols by the coalescence effect. By gravity, filtered liquid
particles accumulate in the lower filter container and are drained manually or automati-
cally. The flow direction is from outside to inside.
Filter V CA
The activated carbon element adsorbs oil vapour and odours, which are imbedded in the
activated carbon. Upstream sub-micro filtration is recommended to filter aerosols, water
vapour and smallest particles. This prolongs the lifetime of the intake capacity of the ele-
ment. The flow direction is from outside to inside.
Filter VMS
In the first step this filter element separates liquid particles by gravity and drops them into
the lower parts of the filter. A dry operation is recommended. Fine layers of filter media
separate bacteria.
