Working Principle
The CA56-9SB operates on a three-stage coalescence and separation process:
Pre-Filtration: A coarse mesh layer removes large particles and debris.
Coalescence: Hydrophilic glass fiber media merges emulsified water droplets into larger clusters, overcoming surface tension.
Gravity Separation: Water clusters settle into a collection chamber, while purified fluid exits through the center tube.
This process ensures efficient removal of both solids and liquids, protecting downstream equipment from corrosion and wear.
Performance and Advantages
The CA56-9SB sets a benchmark for fluid purification:
High Efficiency: Removes ≥99.5% of particles ≥5 µm and ≥99% of emulsified water.
Extended Service Life: Pleated design with 7.2 m² surface area reduces pressure drop and increases dirt-holding capacity.
Chemical Resistance: Withstands hydrocarbons, solvents, and a pH range of 2–12.
Compliance: Meets ISO 2941/2942/2943 standards for structural integrity and material compatibility.
Cost Savings: Reduces replacement frequency by 30% compared to standard filters.
Product Structure
The CA56-9SB features a multi-layered design optimized for durability and performance:
Composite Media: Glass fiber core for coalescence + polypropylene backing for strength.
Knitted Sleeve: Protects media from mechanical stress and ensures uniform flow distribution.
Reinforced End Caps: Prevent deformation under high pressure.
O-Ring Seals: Buna-N or Viton® options for compatibility with diverse fluids.
Application in Wind Power Plants
Wind turbines rely on clean hydraulic and lubrication systems for reliability. The CA56-9SB excels in:
Hydraulic System Protection: Removes water and particulates from hydraulic oil, preventing valve failures.
Gearbox Lubrication: Maintains oil purity to reduce friction and extend gear life.
Cooling Water Filtration: Prevents scaling and corrosion in closed-loop cooling systems.
Fuel Purification: Ensures clean diesel for backup generators, minimizing downtime.
Other Industrial Applications
The CA56-9SB’s versatility extends to diverse sectors:
Oil & Gas: Separates water from crude oil in pipelines and refineries.
Aviation: Purifies jet fuel to meet ASTM D1655 standards.
Marine: Protects engine fuel systems from water ingress in saltwater environments.
Chemical Processing: Filters solvents and corrosive fluids in reactor systems.
Food & Beverage: Removes moisture from edible oils and process fluids.
