Oil Removing Filters
Coalescing Filters
A coalescing filter functions in a different way from a standard particulate filter. Air flows from inside to outside through a coalescing media. Coalescing, by definition, means "to come together". It is a continuous process by which small aerosols come in contact with the fibers in the filter media, uniting with other collected aerosols and growing to emerge as a droplet on the downstream surface of the media which by its weight is gravitationally drained away. For maximum performance and efficiency, coalescing filters should be preceded by a F3 particulate filter.
Oil removing filters offer general industrial filtration with low pressure drop and long element life. They are often used with older compressors where downstream oil carryover is excessive and when longer element life and low pressure drop are a concern.
