Why use a compressed air filter
The atmosphere contains water vapor, hydrocarbons, and solid particles (approximately 140 million solid particles per cubic meter of air), which are sucked into the air compressor along with the air and then enter the compressed air pipeline network along with residual lubricating oil. If these pollutants are not treated in a timely manner, they will lead to pipeline corrosion, endanger the sensitivity and lifespan of production equipment and tools, and affect the quality of manufactured products.

Working principle of compressed air filter

When the compressed air to be processed enters the filter, the flow rate slows down, and large particle droplets fall down under the action of gravity. Some droplets and solid particles are directly intercepted when passing through the glass fiber layer. When smaller diameter droplets and solid particles pass through the filter element with the airflow, they are captured by the filter material due to inertial collision and gradually coalesce into larger droplets, flowing down. Smaller solid and liquid particles do not change direction with the airflow, but only undergo Brownian motion. Once they approach the filter material, they are adsorbed on it by the electrostatic attraction of the fibers.

The filtered oil and water accumulate at the bottom of the filter and are discharged through a drain. In order to protect the environment, the discharged oil and water must be collected in specialized containers and should not be directly discharged into public sewage pipes.

ATS Filter Structure Decomposition Diagram

ATS adopts a series combination design

In order to meet more usage requirements, ATS has designed such a quick combination method that is suitable for various experimental or testing gas terminals. It can be directly connected and used in series without the need for additional threaded connections.

The comparison between ATS high-efficiency filter and other general filters is as follows:

1. Filter paper: ATS adopts a foldable filter element, which has about three times the filtering area and higher dust holding capacity compared to the general winding type, and also means it has a smaller pressure difference and a longer service life;

2. Adopting stainless steel diamond mesh, it has a larger effective filtering area and lower resistance compared to circular mesh;

3. The coagulation layer outside the filter element is made of spray bonded cotton, which has the advantages of high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance compared to traditional sponge. Polyester cotton is prone to rot after a period of use, and if the rotten sponge is not intercepted by the airflow and blown downstream into the pipeline, it will cause certain damage to the production equipment;

4. Adopting a non pull rod design, the top of the filter element features a bayonet design, which saves more installation space compared to conventional pull rod designs and is very easy to disassemble;

5. The air inlet of the filter is designed with a bent pipe between the filter element and the filter core, which has a smaller pressure drop compared to the filter with a right angle design. The simplified design adopts a dual treatment of rust and oxidation resistance and spray coating, with strong corrosion resistance.
