Product Description
ZFCTM Compressed Air Filters include features that address air quality, enhance the operating efficiency of compressed air systems and minimize cost-of-ownership.
- Versatility - Choose from four filter element grades to meet the unique challenges of each application. Elements have been developed for specific removal of bulk liquid, aerosols, course and fine dust particles, as well as for carbon finishing.
- Long Element Life - The superior construction of ZFCTM filter elements enables them to consistently deliver clean, high quality air while maintaining integrity throughout the life of the element.
- Low Pressure Drop - High pressure drop causes air compressors to work harder, adding more to compressed air system operating cost. ZFCTM filter housings and deep-pleated elements are designed to minimize turbulence, resulting in very high efficiency filtration with minimal pressure drop.
- No-Touch Element Replacement - The filter bowl is designed to properly align the element with the filter head during changeout. With ZFCTM filters, it’s not necessary to handle spent elements resulting in cleaner and faster filter maintenance. The vertical space required when separating the head and bowl during element changeout is minimal, enabling ZFCTM filters to be installed where others won’t fit.
ZFCTM Element Grade Selection and Filter Application
- Grade P - Particulate/Bulk Liquid Filtration Use for removal of dust particles down to 1 micron and coalescing of liquid; .6 psi ∆p dry.
- Grade G - General Purpose Filtration Use for removal of dust particles down to 0.1 micron and coalescing of water and oil for a maximum remaining aerosol content of 0.03 ppm @ 70oF; .6 psi ∆p dry; 1.2 psi ∆p saturated.
- Grade H - High Efficiency Filtration Use for removal of particles down to .01 micron and coalescing of water and oil for a maximum remaining aerosol content of 0.008 ppm @ 70oF; .8 psi ∆p dry; 1.5 psi ∆p saturated. It’s recommended that Grade H filtration be preceded with Grade G filtration
- Grade A - Activated Carbon Finishing Use for oil vapor and hydrocarbon odor removal. Results in a maximum remaining oil content of 0.003 ppm @ 70oF; 1 psi ∆p initial; 1 psi ∆p final. Must be preceded with Grade H filtration. Grade A Elements must be replaced every 3 months or every 2,000 hours, whichever is first. As a convenience, a Time Strip that can be adhered to the filter housing comes with Grade A elements, providing visual indication of the remaining service life of the element.
