Kaeser air filters

Kaeser has launched its latest generation of compressed air filtration products. Due to design enhancements, users can expect up to 50% lower pressure loss, according to the company.

The element head of the filter unit has been optimised for best possible airflow, according to Kaeser. Its tapered internal structure channels the compressed air to the centre of the element interior for even charging of the filter media. Deep-pleated filter media is used to remove particles and aerosols, while a carbon fibre mat traps oil vapours. Together with good flow dynamics, this ensures high filtration efficiency with minimal pressure loss. As the filters are available with air connection flanges of various sizes, there is no need for reducer sections when connecting to different air distribution networks.

The pressure drop also remains low for longer due to the high contaminant retention capacity, resulting in lower lifetime operating costs.

A low pressure loss also reduces the load on upstream compressors, thereby creating the potential for reductions in costs. As an example, a 1 bar air pressure reduction can save up to 6% in associated energy costs.

Fitted as standard to Kaeser particulate and coalescence filters is a differential pressure gauge, and the enclosures are cast from seawater-resistant aluminium. The filter elements are protected by inner and outer cages made from continuously welded profile stainless steel.

The filters are available in four filter grades and 12 housing sizes, providing filtration for flow rates from 0.6 to 32 m³/min.
