Separation efficiency
The separation efficiency is the most critical and important parameter of
a separator
Many years of testing and extensive computer calcuations enables us to know
exactly the separation efficiency of various filter materials. A very high
conformity has been found between the actual tests and the computation. These
results can be reproduced to support the efficiency of the FILTAN filter separators.
The application of this filter separator is the removal of solid impurities and precipitation of condensate, also in mist form, out of air and gas streams. The pressure vessel is equipped with coalescer elements. The elements consits of various layers of packed glass fibre. Fine and finest droplets are carried by the gas stream into this layers. These droplets encounter fibres, stick down to them and run down. On the way downwards they meet other droplets and agglomerate to larger droplets which are flowing down inside the fibre glass layers also. To achieve the high separation efficiency the gas muts flow from the inside to the outside of the coalescer elements. If no solid particles are present in the gas stream the replacement of the elments is not required.
