LEFILTER provides high-precision drop-in replacement filter for the FACET CA14-5SB coalescing element. Complying with EI 1581 industry standards, this aftermarket cartridge is designed for effective removal of fine solids, free water and oil mist from aviation fuel, light hydrocarbons and natural gas. Fully matched with original size, thread interface and sealing standards, it requires no equipment modification during installation. Our CA14-5SB alternative delivers reliable industrial filtration performance, solving the high cost and long lead time pain points of genuine FACET filters for industrial fluid purification systems.
Impurities like micro solid particles and suspended water droplets in fuel and gas media easily cause pipeline corrosion, instrument wear and reduced fluid quality. As a classic precision coalescing filter, FACET CA14-5SB is widely used in high-standard purification scenarios. To avoid the limitations of original OEM filters, LEFILTER adopts upgraded gradient glass fiber media and reinforced structure for the CA14-5SB replacement filter. It maintains stable separation efficiency under fluctuating flow and temperature, adapting to long-term continuous operation in complex industrial working conditions.
Working Principle of CA14-5SB Coalescing Filter
The CA14-5SB coalescer adopts a gradient layered filtration mechanism, achieving dual purification of solid impurities and liquid droplets. The outer coarse fiber layer first intercepts large dirt and sediments to protect the inner precision filter layer and avoid premature blockage.
When fluid penetrates the inner hydrophilic glass fiber layer, tiny water droplets and oil mist adhere to the fiber network. Under fluid pressure and molecular force, micro-droplets collide and merge into large droplets. These enlarged droplets separate from the fluid via gravity and settle down for centralized discharge, while clean fluid flows downstream to complete purification.
Optimized fiber density distribution eliminates fluid channeling caused by uneven medium compression. The upgraded structure improves media utilization and dirt holding capacity, ensuring stable and long-lasting filtration performance.
Product Structure & Material Features
LEFILTER CA14-5SB replacement filter adopts high-quality raw materials and integrated hot-melt technology, with all structural indicators fully compliant with original OEM standards, featuring high stability and durability.
High-hydrophilic graded glass fiber media delivers stable chemical inertness against hydrocarbon media. It efficiently captures 3μm fine impurities and micro-droplets with 99.6% coalescing efficiency. The layered filtration structure boosts dirt holding capacity for long-term high-load operation.
2. Precision Thread End Cap & Reliable Sealing
Reinforced glass-filled nylon end cap features precise integrated threads, 100% compatible with original FACET equipment. Equipped with built-in Buna-N gasket, it forms a tight seal to prevent fluid bypass and filtration failure, ensuring stable sealing performance under pressure fluctuations.
3. Reinforced Support & Integrated Hot-melt Process
Built-in rigid perforated support tube prevents media deformation and collapse under operating pressure. Full hot-melt sealing without chemical glue avoids secondary fluid pollution, adapting to 24-hour continuous industrial operation and harsh working environments.
Application Scenarios
This CA14-5SB coalescing filter is suitable for high-standard fluid purification scenarios, perfectly matching original FACET supporting equipment.
Aviation Fuel Terminals
Removes water, oil mist and fine particles from jet fuel, complies with EI 1581 standards, avoids pipeline icing and equipment corrosion, and ensures aviation fuel supply safety.
