Kelburn Engineering - Gas filtration and Coalescing products

PERFORMANCE

These highly efficient coalescing filters are available as standard with solid particle and liquid droplet removal efficiencies down to 0.3 microns.

Other filtration retention ratings to suit customer specifications are available, typically: 0.1, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0 & 10.0 micron.

Operating Principle of Coalescer Filter Element

COALESCING FILTER OPERATION

Solid particles and liquid droplets entrained within the gas flow enter into the KR filter vessel, where the gas then passes into the coalescer filter elements. An integral pre-filter element design captures solid particles prior to the coalescing section of the element.

The gas next passes through a borosilicate glass fibre media, where coalescence of the entrained liquid droplets takes place through impaction on the microfine filter media fibres. The droplets attached to the fibres agglomerate together and due to their now increased mass, drain through and pass out of the filter element to the vessels drain section for removal.

Our large surface area pleated cartridge designs are used to increase gas throughput, provide compact vessel size, reduce gas velocity through the element to improve coalescence and avoid liquid re-entrainment, minimise pressure drops and to maximise the filter elements operational life span.

Coalescer Filter Element Showing Pleated Filter Media and Inner / Outer Support Cores

The filter elements themselves have an inner and outer support core for increased strength and pleating support.
