Introduction
The CA56-8 Coalescer Filter Element is a cutting-edge solution designed to address critical challenges in gas-liquid separation across industrial sectors. By integrating advanced materials science with precision engineering, this model sets a new benchmark for reliability and efficiency in removing liquid droplets and solid particulates from gas streams. Its modular design ensures seamless integration into existing systems, while rigorous testing guarantees consistent performance under extreme operating conditions.
Features
Ultra-High Separation Efficiency: Leveraging a dual-layer composite media, the CA56-8 achieves 99.9% removal efficiency for liquid droplets as small as 0.3 microns. This performance surpasses industry standards, ensuring gas purity essential for downstream processes.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Crafted from 316L stainless steel mesh and reinforced with fluoropolymer-treated fiberglass layers, the element resists chemical attack, moisture, and oxidation, making it ideal for aggressive environments.
Optimized Flow Dynamics: The pleated design maximizes surface area while minimizing pressure drop (<1.5 bar at rated flow), maintaining energy efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Extended Service Life: A combination of anti-fouling coatings and robust structural integrity allows the element to operate for up to 8,000 hours before replacement, even in high-contaminant applications.
Versatile Configuration: Customizable micron ratings (0.3–50 µm) and modular dimensions accommodate diverse gas types, from natural gas to hydrogen, across varying flow rates.
