Air Filtration
Every cubic metre of air contains as many as 140 million particles of dirt. These particles, mixed with water vapour and hydro carbon vapours from unburnt fuels and industrial processes, are drawn into the compressor and concentrated under compression.
After compression, all these contaminants can combine in the piping system with condensed moisture, pipe scale and rust, creating a damaging abrasive emulsion.
Atlas Copco has developed a perfectly matched filter system, which reduces all types of contamination right from the source – according to your individual requirements.
Atlas Copco range to meet your compressed air quality needs
Atlas Copco offers you 4 ranges of filters.
- DD range – coalescing filters for general purpose protection, removing liquid water and oil aerosol to 0.1mg/m3 (0.1ppm) and particles down to 1 micron.
- DDp range – particulate filters for dust protection, removing particles down to 1 micron.
- PD range – high efficiency coalescing filters, removes liquid water and oil aerosol to 0.01 mg/m3 (0.01ppm) and particles down to 0.01 micron.
- QD range – active carbon filter for removal of oil vapours and hydrocarbon odours with a maximum remaining oil content of 0.003 mg/m3 (0.003 ppm) should be installed after a PD filter.
Range from 19 – 15256 cfm in aluminium and fabricated steel housings, with maximum pressures up to 16 bar (g).
