Activated carbon filters are necessary for any system to achieve the highest compressed air quality. With filtration down to .003 Microns, practically zero odor or oil vapor passes through these filters. This level of filtration is the key feature of Activated Carbon filters; no other filters on the market have filtration this fine.
These products are manufactured in strict adherence to ISO 9001 standards within a controlled environment and fully comply with EU Regulation No. 1935/2004. Furthermore, all materials used are by FDA Title 21 and meet USP Class VI requirements, providing batch traceability for complete peace of mind.
Now, that last paragraph might be nonsense to you and mean absolutely nothing; if that is the case, activated carbon filters might not be the best solution for your operation. Your operation might require more traditional levels of filtration; if that’s you, check out our other filters!
Some people need air that is so clean that it is better than the ambient air around us. Their process requires air that has nothing in it but clean, high-quality compressed air. There can be no oil, particulates, or even odor in the air stream. When this is the case, a little extra filtration is necessary.
An additional compressed air filter is indispensable to attain the filtration required for ultra-clean air. This is where our Activated Carbon filters come into play. With their ability to filter down to .003 Microns, they excel at removing oil vapors and odors from compressed air. Due to their size, these filters are ideally placed at the end of your compressed air filters.
If the activated carbon is the first or second filter in line, it can easily become clogged. The particulate and condensate-filled air would become stuck, causing pressure and flow rate to drop. Instead, the activated carbon should always be the last filter in line to avoid any unnecessary components in the air.
The size of your compressed air filter is determined by the size and type of particles being removed. You want to be able to remove the particles in descending size so that you do not clog the filter elements. The bigger particles will get caught as the air passes through, and smaller and smaller particles will make it through.
Consider a few things when you are looking to buy an air filter. These will be the guiding principles for selecting your compressed air filters.
This is the percentage of dust removed or extracted from the air. So, a filter sized to 1 micron would have a 99.8% extraction efficiency because .2% of the particles that size pass through the filter.
Flow rate is the amount of air that passes through the filter in a given period of time, usually measured in Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM). Your filter size has to match your flow rate, so if you have a larger flow, you will need larger compressed air filters. If your flow rate is either too much or too little for your filter, it can cause unwanted pressure spikes and drops.
Flow resistance refers to the buildup of dust and debris in your filter over time. As this builds up, more dust will accumulate, causing pressure drops and restricting the flow of your compressed air. Stay on top of this by routinely replacing your filter elements and preventing extreme buildup.
These are the main concerns you should have when determining your filtration sizing. Beyond that, there really isn’t much else to keep in mind aside from pressure drops, and all that takes is a simple calculation.
