Introduction

The Facet Coalescer Filter Element Model CA38-8 is a high-efficiency separation solution designed to remove fine liquid aerosols and particulate contaminants from gas or liquid streams in industrial systems. Engineered with a multi-stage coalescing media, it excels in applications requiring stringent fluid purity, such as compressed air systems, fuel filtration, and chemical processing. Its robust construction ensures reliability in harsh environments, while its compact design optimizes space utilization and maintenance efficiency.

Features

Multi-Layer Coalescing Media

• Combines depth filtration and coalescing layers to capture particles as small as 0.3 μm and merge sub-micron aerosols into larger droplets for easy drainage.

  High Flow Efficiency

• Optimized channel geometry minimizes pressure drop (≤0.5 bar at rated flow), reducing energy consumption.

  Chemical Resistance

• Compatible with hydrocarbons, synthetic lubricants, and mild acids/alkalis, thanks to polypropylene and fluoropolymer materials.

  Durable Construction

• Stainless steel end caps and reinforced structural layers withstand pressure surges up to 10 bar.

  Easy Maintenance

• Modular design allows quick replacement without system shutdown.

Suggested Operating Conditions

Applications

Compressed Air Systems

• Removes oil aerosols and particulates in pneumatic tools and instrumentation air networks.

  Aviation & Automotive Fuel Systems

• Ensures clean fuel delivery by coalescing water and contaminants in jet fuel or diesel.

  Chemical Processing

• Separates liquid-liquid emulsions in solvent recovery or reactor feed streams12.

  Natural Gas Treatment

• Eliminates glycol or lubricant carryover in LNG pipelines.

  Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

• Maintains sterile gas purity in fermentation or packaging processes.
