What are the installation steps of air compressor filter

Compressed air line filters help protect compressed air equipment and processes from dust, oil, microbes and odours.

Particulate matter generally refers to solid particles in the air. It is estimated that there are as many as 141 million particles in a cubic meter of the atmosphere. When compressed to 7.21bar, the concentration exceeds 1.41 billion, of which more than 80% are below 2 microns.

The air line filter at the air compressor inlet is rated at about 10 microns, this is to protect the air compressor, not any downstream equipment. Additionally, wear particles from compressors and deposits from oil exposure to thermal degradation of compression can increase contamination of downstream equipment or processes.

In addition, the oil content at the outlet of the oil-injected screw air compressor is > 3ppM, and continuous operation will affect the pollution of downstream equipment and processes. Therefore, installing a compressed air pipeline filter before the compressed air use end can effectively remove these pollutants.

Various models of Atlas air compressor filters:

1. DD series:

Polymeric particulate filter for general protection that removes liquid water and oil mist as small as 0.1 mg/m3 (0.1 ppm) and particles as small as 1 micron.

2. DDp series:

Particle filter for dust removal that removes particles as small as 1 micron.

3. PD series:

High efficiency polymeric particulate filter that eliminates liquid moisture and oil mist as small as 0.01 mg/m3 (0.01 ppm) and particles as small as 0.01 microns.

4. QD series:

Activated carbon filter for eliminating oil vapor and hydrocarbon odor with a maximum residual oil level of 0.003 mg/m3 (0.003 ppm) must be installed after the PD filter.

What are the installation steps of air compressor filter?

1. Install the air outlet of the air compressor.

2. To connect the air storage tank, the outlet of the air compressor and the inlet of the air storage tank should be kept low and high.

3. Install a C-level filter at the outlet of the gas storage tank to play the role of primary filtration. Air compressor filter accuracy is one micron.

4. Install an automatic drain to drain the oil and water remaining after the filter of the air compressor is filtered.

5. Install wires to connect the dryer and connecting hoses.

Sixth, install the water outlet pipeline and two-stage filter, first install the T-class filter, then install the A-class filter, and finally install the ball valve.

7. Install gas storage tank accessories, pressure gauges and safety valves.
