大气环境下的自由空气经空压机压缩后，其中的水汽、尘埃、油雾等有害物

流将对昂贵的气动装置、仪表及管道造成严重的锈蚀和污染，除影响产品品质
外，往往还会因仪表及装置失准而造成设备及人身事故。另外，许多工业气源

Operation Instruction

I. Product Profile
1. Product Overview

When free air from atmospheric environment is compressed by an air compressor, the hazardous substances like
moisture, dust, and oil mist are fed into the pneumatically operated equipment and instruments along with
compressed air. Such a high-temperature, high-moisture and high-pressure air flow may cause serious corrosion
and contamination inside the expensive pneumatically operated device, instruments and pipeline soon, not only
affecting the product quality, but also resulting in equipment failure/fatal accident due to inaccuracy of the
instruments and devices. Chemical fiber, printing, spray painting, mixing, pneumatic conveying, and pneumatic
automated equipment are directly connected to the process tools for working procedures, so many industrial air
sources shall be pure without any water, oil and dust. Therefore, it is essential to have the compressed air
subjected to further purification treatment so that it may meet the production requirements, and compressed air
drier supported by secondary filter can surely satisfy such requirements.

2. Structure and Working Principle

A secondary filter mainly consists of a filter element and a filter housing, and the latter may be divided into 2
basic types i.e. flange type and die casting aluminum type as per different structures (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). The
upstream compressed air enters into the filter element through the air inlet and the air vent in the upper end of the
filter element (5). The filter element is composed of multiple layers of filter materials capable of different
functions. The compressed air could be separated from moisture, dust, oil mist, and chemical substances with
peculiar smell by means of interception, inertia, gravity force, diffusion and adsorption, etc. Pure compressed air
reaches the downstream from the air outlet channel in the top housing through the filter element (5), and is
continually fed into the pneumatically operated equipment. Th`e trapped hazardous substances like moisture, oil
mist and dust are collected to the bottom of the lower housing (6) of the filter housing, and are discharge out of the
machine through the valve that is automatically opened by the automatic drain trap when a certain volume is
reached. The air inlet/outlet channels of filter housing are separated by baffle (2) and O-shaped rubber seal (3) of
filter element. The filter housing is designed, manufactured and tested as per relevant technical standards for
pressure vessel. Filter elements are a type of tubular parts composed of multi-layers of different materials, and
may be divided into six basic types, named as HC, HT, HA, HF, HH and FC, as per varied filtration functions (see
Table 1):

II. Configuration and Installation

To ensure the filtering apparatus achieve the anticipated effects, correct configuration and installation are
extremely important in addition to guaranteed quality of products.

1. Standard Pipeline for the Filters

A complete set of compressed air purification system is composed of several equipment and relevant filters. To
ensure easy operation and maintenance, each filter shall be installed as per the standard pipelines shown in Fig. 3.
Figure 3, 4 is respectively the opening and closing valves at upstream and downstream, which shall be turned on
when the filter works normally and shall be turned off prior to maintenance. Valve 5 is fitted in the air-supply
branch and shall be turned off when the filter works normally and turned off prior to maintenance; it alarm s
automatically once pressure drop of air inlet/out exceeds a certain value to prompt the operator to check the
filtration capacity of filter elements; it may also be substituted by fitting a manometer with buffer tube in the
inlet/outlet pipeline. Item 2 is a sampling valve fitted in the air-supply pipeline and is designed for sampling prior
to determining the degree of purification of the air supply. Note: Piping shown in the figure shall be installed
by user.

Fig. 3 Standard Pipeline for Filters

2. Basic
Configuration/Installation
Pattern of the Filter

HC-class filters are usually installed in the upstream pipeline composed of air compressor (1), after cooler (2) and
air tank (3) as per the pattern shown in Fig. 4 to trap tmost of the moisture content, oil mist and dust particles of
3μm or greater contained in the upstream air channel, so that functions of purification and drying of the
freezingdrier may be brought into full play. HT-class filter, HA-class filter and HF-class filter shall be connected
in series in the downstream air channel after the freeze drier, and the air channel with peculiar smell shall be
additionally equipped with a HH filter so that oil, water and dust contents at downstream may achieve high purity
requirements.

3. Other Configuration/Installation Patterns of the Filters

The above-mentioned configuration pattern may be altered according to the circumstances as per user’s different
requirements for air supply purification. For instance, when 3-stage HC, HT and HA filters are directly connected
in series for the upstream air supply from the air tank, most of moisture, oil mist and dust particles contained in

Page 5
 Compressed Air Filter
Operation Instruction

the air supply may be removed, satisfying the ordinary applications that require not so high purification of air
supply. Some production processes, such as production of lens and integrated circuits, may require hyper -normal
purification and dryness of air supply; for such applications, adsorption type drier may be additionally fitted after
the freeze drier so that the air supply may meet the nearly ideal requirements for moisture free, grease free, and
dust free purification and dryness.

III. Selection and Maintenance Requirements

1. Service conditions for the product (air delivery pipeline must be kept clean prior to installation of the filters)

Working pressure: 0.6MPa-1.0MPa (Special pressure can be customized)

Operating temperature: ≤50℃

Supply air shall be free of corrosive elements

Compress air throughput capacity: 1m3/min- 500m3/min

If input pressure is not standard pressure for operating mode, actual throughput capacity of filter element
may vary; in such a case, actual air flow shall be divided by the correction coefficient given in Table 2, and
select the value as per the obtained result.

Table (2)

Pressure (MPa) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.5 0.7 0.9 1.1 1.3 1.5

Coefficient (Φ) 0.25 0.38 0.5 0.75 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0

2. Due to different liquid load capacity of filter cartridges, filters’ selection and installation must strictly follow
the sequence of HC-HT/FC-HA-HF-HH. And they must not be converted or mismatched; otherwise, not only
the expected filtration effect may not be achieved, but also the filter elements may be prematurely damaged.

3. As a pressure vessel, filter housing is designed and manufactured as per the above-mentioned working
pressures; it shall work within the range of allowable pressure indicated in the name plate; no over-pressure
ultra-temperature operation is allowed.

4. Filter element is a critical component of a filter; when it works, it shall be regularly checked for pressure
drop of inlet/outlet air. The initial-stage pressure drop of this product series is about 0.01Mpa ~ 0.02MPa
(each piece). Along with the increase in service time, the pressure drop of filter element may gradually
increase. When pressure drop reaches 0.07MPa, the filter element is already jammed with filth and shall be
replaced in time, and it must not be subject to operation when the pressure drop gets too great. To replace a
new filter element, the middle long screw rod shall be tightened, and the upper-end seal ring shall be checked
for good condition. To replace HA type, HF type or HH type filter elements, do not directly grip the foam
layer of the filter element by hand. Specific procedures for replacement of a filter element: a. Discharge
completely the compressed air from vessel; b. Unscrew the fastening parts of vessel flange, and open the
filter housing cartridge; c. Unscrew the drag-link nut of filter element, and remove the used filter element; d.
Fix a new filter element, and replace the sealing members if they lose efficiency; c. Install the cartridge
properly.

5. The above-mentioned operating conditions shall be abided by strictly. The service life of this series of HC,
HT,FC,HA and HF filter elements may reach 8000 hours or higher, and the working life of HH-type filter
element is 2500 hours (the working life is counted when pressure drop of single filter element reaches
0.07MPa).
