FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The filter can operate at temperatures up to 80°C for air and nitrogen. For steam sterilization, it supports 121°C.
How often should the filter cartridge be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on the gas quality and operating conditions. Regular monitoring of pressure drop is recommended; when pressure drop exceeds 0.02 MPa, it's time to replace the cartridge.
Can it handle high-pressure applications?
Yes, optional high-pressure housing can be rated up to 3.0 MPa to suit specific system requirements.
Is the filter suitable for oxygen service?
The standard model is designed for air and nitrogen. For oxygen service, please contact our technical team for special material and cleaning considerations.
How is steam sterilization performed?
The filter housing is designed for online steam sterilization at 121°C. The inlet steam temperature should not exceed 121°C, and the process should follow standard sterilization protocols.
What is the pressure loss across the filter?
The pressure loss is ≤0.02 MPa, ensuring low energy consumption in your gas system.
Can the filter be used in food and beverage industry?
Yes, it is suitable for aseptic filling and packaging processes, meeting the hygiene requirements of food and beverage production.
