What is a balston filter?

Balston Coalescing Compressed Air Filters protect your equipment and delicate instruments from the dirt, water, and oil usually found in compressed air. Balston Sample Analyzer Filters protect analyzers from sample impurities by removing solids and liquids from gases with 99.999% efficiency at 0.01 micron or lower.

What does a Coalescer filter do?

Coalescing is a technique used in filter media for the separation of liquid aerosols and droplets from a gas, and coalescing filters are specifically designed to remove submicron oil, water, and other liquid droplets from airflows.

How long do air compressor filters last?

Replacing both the air filters and oil filters every 2000 hours of use, at a minimum, is typical. In dirtier environments, the filters may need to be changed more frequently. Separators are typically manufactured to be used for 8000 hours.

What is membrane Airdryer?

What are membrane dryers? Membrane dryers use the process of selective permeation of the gas components in the air. Membrane dryers are simple to operate, silent while operating, have no moving parts, low power consumption and minimal service requirements (mainly filters upstream of the dryer).

What is sterile air?

Sterile compressed air can be utilised both in the process as well as a conveying and control air. Its designation comes from the characteristic that the compressed air utilised must be sterile. This means that the compressed air must be free of propagating germs.

What is the difference between filter and Coalescer?

Of all the types of filtration systems, two of the most common are particulate filtration and coalescers. Particulate filters remove larger solid particles while coalescing filters offer a finer filtration, removing aerosols or droplets through two different stages.

Why should I change my compressed air filter element?

Filter elements must be replaced periodically to ensure a continuous supply of high quality compressed air is always available. Other benefits include: Protection of adsorption dryer beds. Protection of downstream equipment, personnel and processes.

How do you filter oil from compressed air?

Oil vapor must be removed using a filter with activated carbon. A correctly installed fiber filter, together with a suitable pre-filter, can reduce the quantity of oil in the compressed air to approximately 0.01 mg/ m3. A filter with activated carbon can reduce the quantity of oil to 0.003 mg/m3.
