9.8. Coal filter cartridge :
Coal filter cartridge removes water condensation and oil by a chemical system
not mechanical. Activated carbon and molecular sieve absorb water and oil
purifying breathing air according to DIN EN12021.
Filter has two safety systems. The first one has a hole closed when the cartridge
has put inside. It is not possible to refill cylinders without cartridge. The second
one is designed to prevent pressurizing in the absence of the filter cartridge. A
bore provided in the filter bottom is sealed air-tight only if the cartridge is in
place. Without cartridge the venting bore is not sealed, the air escapes into the
atmosphere and no pressure can be built up.
The filter system is subject to dynamic load. It is designed for a certain number
of load cycles, which originate from an abrupt pressure loss at condensate drain.
After 500 operating hours an inspections have to be arranged by the operator.
After reaching the max. number of load cycles: 8000 cycles at 300Bar or
21000cycles at 225Bar the filter assembly must be replaced. Approximately,
with 4cycles per hour at 300 bar filter must be changed after 2000 operating
hours instead at 225 Bar after 5000 operating hours..
9.9. Filter maintenance :
The cartridge in the picture removes water and oil
Please follow the procedure below:
- Depressurize system before starting any maintenance work.
- Dry inside of filter housing with a clean cloth before installing new cartridge and check for
corrosion. Change if necessary.
- Check the O-ring and change it if damaged.
- Change cartridge before reactiving a compressor unit.
The number of operating hours or the amount of possible bottle fillings per filter cartridge can be
determinated taking into consideration the ambient temperature and the cartridge used.
To avoid any ranger to your health or damage to your unit, change used up cartridges in good time.
Never fill used up cartridges yourself. The filter material was chosen specifically by Nardi
compressori for each kind of application. Never remove replacement cartridge from packaging prior
to actual use otherwise highly sensitive molecular sieve will absorb water vapour from surrounding
air and cartridge saturated.
