What does a coalescing filter remove?
A coalescing filter is used in compressed air systems to remove oil droplets and fine particles, down to 0.01 micron in size. As unwanted oil can stick to moving parts and slow down pneumatic cylinders, a coalescing filter is an important part of air preparation.
How long does a coalescing filter last?
At long last, the arrangement also lengthens the service life of the element usually from a range of 3-6 months to about 12 months.
What is coalescence filter?
A coalescer or coalescing filter is a device used to separate fluid mixtures into individual using the principle of coalescence. Coalescence is a process whereby fluid molecules agglomerate (come together) to form a larger whole.
When should I replace my coalescing filter?
Coalescing and dry particulate filter performance is guaranteed for 12 months when sized, installed and operated in accordance with Parker domnick hunter recommendations. The filter performance guarantee can be extended by replacing the filter element and consumable parts annually.
Can you clean a coalescing filter?
Coalescing filter elements, high efficiency filter elements and filters with special filtration media typically cannot be cleaned. A dirty filter cartridge must be cleaned when the pressure drop causes a noticeable loss of air flow.
What is difference between filter and coalescer?
Particulate filters remove larger solid particles while coalescing filters offer a finer filtration, removing aerosols or droplets through two different stages.
Where do you put a coalescing filter?
Typically, coalescing compressed air filters are installed close to where the compressor is located (either in the compressor room on larger installation or on the compressor itself for smaller fixed or portable compressors).
What is the size of the coalescing filter?
0.3-µm
COALESCING FILTERS A 0.3-µm-rated coalescing filter element is standard in all coalescing units. They remove 99.99% of oil and solid contaminants larger than 0.3 µm.
What in a coalescing filter prevents the contaminants from returning to the clean air path?
Coalescing filters also remove solid contaminants such as dirt, dust and rust from compressed-air systems. These particles are permanently trapped in the filter element, eventually restricting flow and blocking the filter media.
Can you clean an air filter with compressed air?
Our recommendation is to never clean engine air filters with compressed air, and it is the same opinion of most engine, filter and machinery manufacturers. Cleaning air filters with compressed air can cause a multitude of problems. Most commonly we have seen filters damaged due to high pressure air guns being used.
What are the different types of filters Norgren?
Filters Norgren offer three types of compressed air filters depending on the air quality require. General purpose filters to remove water droplets and particles to 5 or 40 micron rating. Pureaire oil removal filters to remove oil droplets or fine particle removal to 0.01 microns and Ultraire oil vapour removal filters to remove oil vapors.

Which coalescing filters are compatible with eXcelon Plus and Olympian plus?
IMI Norgren has a range of coalescing filters compatible with Excelon Plus and Olympian Plus products. These are available with manual or automatic drains, and with metal or transparent bowls, depending on what the application requires. Typical applications of coalescing filters
