Van
Air F101 Series filter housings are built to last! All F101
Series compressed air filter housings are built of welded
steel and are stamped in accordance with ASME code section
VIII, Div. I. with a maximum working pressure of 250 PSIG
at 225° F. All F101 Series filter housings receive a rigorous
hydrostatic pressure test of 1.3 times the maximum working
pressure of the vessel.
The
exterior of the F101 Series filter housing is protected
by a coating of primer and air-dried machine enamel. The
interior of the housing is protected by alkyd enamel. Both
of these coatings help protect against corrosion, chipping
and cracking to increase the durability of the housing.
The
F101 Series of compressed air filter housings consists of
six different housings, with flows ranging from 500 to 5000
SCFM at 100 PSIG. Custom units are available for flows up
to 20,000 SCFM. The inlet and outlet connections of all
the housings are NPT or ANSI RF flanges on a common centerline
and include ports for pressure differential gauges.
The
filter element is accessible through a flange located at
the bottom of the housing. All of the flanges up to 10"
in diameter are equipped with a retaining pin on one of
the bolts. This permits the flange to be rotated away from
the bottom of the filter housing without completely removing
it from the housing assembly. Therefore, filter elements
can be replaced with relative ease.
All
of our F101 Series compressed air filter housings are equipped
with a ball type manual drain valve. However, a Van Air
automatic drain valve can be installed to automatically
drain the filter housing when needed. This prevents the
filter from flooding and which could cause damage to the
filter element or contaminate the air system.
SELECTING A FILTER
To select
the appropriate filter, determine the following conditions
regarding the filter installation site:
• Maximum flow rate
• Min. and Max. operating pressures
• Operating temperature
• Degree of filtration desired
• Contaminants to be removed
Next, refer to the Flow Capacities chart below and locate
the column with your lowest operating pressure. Then find
the flow rate closest to, but greater than, that of your
system. Finally, read across to the left-hand column to
determine the filter model that will meet your needs.
You will now need to refer to the Filtration
Grades chart, also located below. Determine the element
grade that meets your needs. Be sure that the maximum inlet
temperature listed on the chart is sufficient for your operating
conditions.
Refer
to the Dimensions and Specifications chart and locate the
proper filter model number. Once you have located the model
number within the chart, verfiy that the inlet and outlet
connections are suitable for your piping. Also make sure
that there will be adequate clearance for element replacement.
