FILTER FUNCTION
380 Series general purpose compressed air filters remove water and particulate material from the air stream, protecting downstream equipment from contamination. As air enters the filter, internal baffles create a swirling motion so that entrained dirt and liquids are thrown against the sides of the filter bowl, then fall to the sump area at the bottom.
Additional baffling keeps the air in the sump area relatively quiet; ensuring the removed material remains out of the air flow proceeding to the filter element. The filter element then collects smaller particles.
The most frequently used element in Master Pneumatic general purpose filters is rated at 5 μm, so that nearly all particles larger than 5 μm (half the diameter of a human hair) are collected.
FILTER SELECTION
General purpose filter elements are available in 5 μm and 40 μm-ratings. Some units are available with 20-μm-rated elements.
High-flow filters frequently have 40-μm elements which are satisfactory for general piping. At point of use, and with smaller filters, the standard 5-μm element is recommended. See coalescing filters for even finer filtration.
