O The Importance of Air Filtration
The air intake filter may be the most important replacement part of an air compressor, because it is responsible for cleaning the compressed air before entering the compressor. Replacing your air filter regularly with a quality COMPHYDRproduct will prevent harmful contaminants and particles from entering the compressor. Using an inferior filter will lead to frequent filter and separator changes, premature lubricant change-outs and potential bearing and/or airend failures, costing you money and time. Simply keeping your air filter clean will increase the performance of your compressed air system, ultimately extending the overall operational life of your compressor.
O Applications
COMPHYDR air filters are made with the highest-quality materials for rotary screw, reciprocating and centrifugal compressors for a variety of makes and models. We have a full line of air intake filters for most major compressor manufacturers.
O Types of Air Filters
A proper assessment of your filtration needs is vital to maintaining your compressed air system. Our air intake filters are typically rated to remove on an average 85% of the particles between 0.3 and 10 microns, depending upon the size and application specified for your compressor.
O Construction and Service Life
COMPHYDR air filters, in many cases, have more media than otherfilter manufacturers. It is important to have as much media as possible on the air filters. Higher media area means lower initial differential pressure, higher dust holding capacity and longer service life. The media is constructed with paper or polyester, while the end caps are made with molded polyurethane or metal .depending upon the application.
O Reliability and Performance
Leaving filters in your compressor too long can suffocate it, ultimately reducing its flow, It is possible for COMPHYDR air filters can operate up to 1.5 PSI(100mbars) differential pressure, but we recommend they be changed closer to 0.73 to 0.87 PSI (50-60 mbars). This will alleviate the risk of burst pressure within the filter, allowing for longer service life of other, more expensive compressor parts. In addition, all of our air filters meet OEM-required specifications and mount mode.
