Effective Air Preparation 05
Standard with larger units, metal filter bowls are oen offered as
an option for compressed air filters. These add an additional layer of
protection to the system, particularly when pressures are high or when
there is a risk of chemicals or solvents being in the compressed air, or
environment. Consider the application, as well as the environment
when selecting compressed air filters. In the event of any concerns, it is
recommended to opt for safety, and select a metal filter bowl.
Contaminants can enter a compressed air system in multiple areas.
Drains must operate properly to enable filters and separators to
work correctly and prevent any liquid being drawn into the air line.
When used correctly they reduce operating costs, and limit the need
for filter maintenance.
Installing an auto-drain is preferable, as it drains once liquid reaches
a certain level, offering a fit and forget solution.
