14.2 Changing Filtration Elements (optional Breathing Air Elements)
Change the LP Filter Elements
every 100 hours or once per year*
. If the Compressor System is
operated in high humidity and/or high temperature, Filter Elements must be changed more often.
Visual DP indicators on the HF7 and HF5 filters assist with monitoring replacement intervals.
1) Push up on the Bowl, rotate CCW, and lower to remove.
2) Gently rotate Filter Element and pull down off mounting post.
3) Replace Element and reassemble in reverse order.
The interior of the Filter Bowls can be cleaned with a diluted solution of Simple Green
TM
and flushed
thoroughly with clean water. This will assist to prolong the life of the element, bowl, and auto drain.
14.3 Changing Air Intake Filtration
Inspect and or change the air intake Filter Elements
every 40 hours or once per year
. If the
Compressor System is operated in high humidity or a dusty dirty environment, Filter Elements must
be changed more often. Inspect elements periodically to determine if the elements should be
changed sooner than recommended.
14.4 Air Intake Extension
The air intake filter housings are mounted on couplings. In the event that the compressor will be used
in a windy environment that may cause the diesel engine exhaust to be blown into the intake filters it
may be necessary to extend the elements vertically to prevent engine exhaust from entering the
elements. Reinforced hose tubing can be purchased from Nuvair to extend the height of the
elements. By using a Nuvair PRO CO monitor you will notice changes in CO immediately and the
use of a CO monitor is highly recommended by Nuvair.
