Differential pressure replacement thresholds

Initial pressure drop of new element: ≤0.013 MPa

Mandatory alarm replacement threshold: ΔP ≥ 0.07 MPa

Sealing & support construction

End cap: Reinforced black PA polymer internal threaded bayonet lock cap with built-in flow diversion channels

Seal system: One-piece full-circle NBR nitrile rubber O-ring, zero air bypass, resistant to compressor oil aging and acidic condensate corrosion

Inner & outer support cage: Single-layer perforated 304 stainless steel mesh, lightweight anti-collapse reinforcement for stable large airflow

Key Product Advantages

Second-stage high-precision polishing protection to extend service life of downstream carbon filters

Installed after EFST170ZN medium coalescer, XN grade captures invisible trace submicron oil mist and micro water droplets that 1μm medium filters cannot separate. It drastically reduces liquid contamination load on terminal EFST170XXN activated carbon elements, extends carbon service cycle and cuts overall factory spare parts expenditure.

Large dust & oil holding capacity with stable low differential pressure

Proprietary deep-fold glass fiber matrix stores massive oil sludge, condensate and solid dust without rapid pressure rise, matching non-stop heavy-duty continuous production for large air consumption workshops. Outer red hydrophobic foam rapidly drains liquid to filter bowl, minimizing oil re-entrainment risk.

Heat-stabilized glass fiber media eliminates fiber shedding and secondary pipeline contamination

High-temperature cured borosilicate glass fiber remains stable within operating temperature range, no softening or pulverization. Zero glass fiber debris enters air piping to block spray guns, industrial laser lenses and proportional solenoid valves.

Low permanent differential pressure design reduces large compressor power consumption

Uniform gradient pore layout maintains minimal airflow resistance throughout full service cycle. Stable low backpressure reduces continuous motor load of large screw air compressors and slashes long-term workshop electricity operating costs.

Working Principle

Pre-dried large-volume compressed air flows through filter cartridge from outside to inside:

Residual tiny water droplets and fine solid impurities are trapped by outer red hydrophobic foam, drain down to filter bowl by gravity.

0.01μm oil-water micro-aerosols collide and coalesce into large separable liquid droplets while passing through multi-layer gradient borosilicate glass fiber media.

Outer anti-re-entrainment foam barrier prevents separated liquid oil from being re-carried by high-speed large-volume compressed airflow.

Collected oil and condensate are automatically discharged via electronic zero-loss drain valve.

Ultra-clean air with residual liquid oil ≤0.008 mg/m³ flows downstream to EFST170XXN activated carbon filter for secondary oil vapor removal.
