Operational Service Life Indicator - Senses air pressure upstream and downstream from the filter element. The indicator shows green when the pressure drop is below 5 PSID. As pressure differential increases across the filter element with the retention of solid particles, the indicator changes from green to red. When the indicator shows more red than green, the pressure differential is in excess of 10 PSID and the element should be replaced.
Louvers - Air entering the filter is guided into a swirling pattern by the louvers. Coarse solid particles and liquids are forced to the bowl wall by centrifugal force and drop to the bottom.
Filter Element - Removes most solid particles.
Filter Element:
F07: 5-Micron Element is Standard
F72, F73, F74, F17 and F18: 40-Micron Element is Standard
Baffle - Creates a quiet zone at the bowl bottom and prevents air turbulence from pick up liquids and returning them to the air steam.
Manual or Automatic Drain - Dumps accumulated liquids.
NOTES
These filters will remove most liquid and solid particles from the compressed air.
Water vapor, however, will pass through the filters and could condense into liquid form downstream.
Install an air dryer if water condensation will have a detrimental effect on the application.
Automatic drains operate when liquid accumulates above a certain level.
