Vessels

AE Series

American Filtration offers durable, heavy gauge filter housings which may be mounted directly to the exhaust port of a vacuum pump or remotely (indoors or outdoors). This design features a highly efficient coalescing element utilizing graded porosity media to effectively remove heavy concentrations of smoke and oil mist from the exhaust stream of vacuum pumps.   Call or email us for information and pricing. 1-800-580-7873

This filter is designed to remove liquids and/or particulate from the process gas of industrial equipment. The separation of entrained materials is accomplished in three stages. The first stage removes the bulk liquid by the centrifugal motion of the gas stream as it enters vessel through a tangential inlet. In the second stage, a demister removes small liquid particles of mist and also acts as a pre-filter for particulate. Properly selected, conventional pads are ideal in most applications. At the moderate vapor velocity and liquid load for which a pad is designed, liquid trying to escape collects in a thin, flooded layer at the bottom of the pad. Bubbling causes re-entertainment of liquid, compounding the mist load. Virtually all droplets large enough for the wire to capture are eliminated in the lower half of the pad. The upper part, inactive as yet, is available for increased loads. The third stage is a particulate filter which removes solids with a standard efficiency of 98% of 4 microns.

These filters are designed for separation of oil, water and other liquid aerosols, as well as solid particles from compressed air and gas lines. This model utilizes one or more high efficiency coalescing filter elements that provide clean, dry oil-free air that is essential in many critical applications.

Unlike standard inline filters, coalescing filters carry air flow from the inside out; contaminants are captured in the filter matrix and collect together into larger droplets through collisions with the glass micro fibers. These droplets eventually emerge on the outside of the filter element where they are drained away by gravity.

The VLS Series is designed to effectively remove dirt, pipe scale and other particulate from water, liquid chemicals and petroleum products in liquid pipeline applications. Units are supplied with heavy-duty sewn end (radial fin) elements designed exclusively for use in liquid applications. All models provide a large-volume sump area for collection of contaminants below the filter element.

Connection Size: 1/2" to 12"

Flow Rates: Up to 36,000 GPM

Efficiencies: To 1 micron and larger at 98% nominal

These models are designed to remove dust, dirt, pipe scale, and other contaminants from compressed air and gas pipelines. The VAG Series provides positive protection for pneumatic controls, meters and other pipeline equipment.

The VVS Series provides positive protection for all types of pumps and vacuum service. Each unit is individually tested to assure vacuum tightness.

The vessel design allows for mechanical separation of dirt and other contaminants into a large-volume sump area. Thus, increasing the life of the filter element.

Connection Size: 1/4" to 24"
Flow Rates: Up to 100,000 SCFM
Efficiencies: To 0.3 microns and larger at 98% nominal

The AFE Series intake filter is a closed circuit design that offers efficient filtration for engines, compressors, and blowers. This unit is suitable for indoor or outdoor installation. It can be mounted directly on the inlet to machinery or can be remotely located in another area of choice. This makes it possible to duct intake piping to the cleanest and coolest air source available.
 

This panel type housing is designed for removal of airborne particulate for centrifugal compressors, blowers, turbines and other smooth flow machines. Special AFP models include:

- "Walk-in" units that utilize inertial spin primary elements

- activated charcoal primary panels for removal of corrosive vapors and/or odor causing gases

Custom design and fabrication are available.
