Equivalent Facet CA11-9 coalescer filter cartridge

CA11-9 is a highly efficient coalescing separation filter element, mainly used to remove liquid water, oil mist and solid particle contaminants from fluids such as compressed air, gas or light fuel (such as aviation kerosene, diesel). Its core function is to combine tiny aerosol droplets into large droplets through coalescence, and then separate them from the fluid by gravity or separation components.

Nominal Length:

9 inches (229 mm)

Outside Diameter (OD):

2.75 inches (70 mm)

Product Introduction

1. Product Introduction:

The CA11-9 is a standardized, high-efficiency liquid/gas coalescing filter cartridge designed to remove sub-micron liquid aerosols (oil and water mists) and solid particulate contamination from compressed air, gases, and certain light hydrocarbon liquids (e.g. aviation fuel, diesel).

As a "standard length" filter in the widely adopted CA (Coalescing) series, it’s model number directly indicates its key physical dimensions: a nominal 11 cm (≈2.75 inches) outer diameter and a 9-inch (229 mm) length. The CA11-9 typically features industry-standard mounting interfaces such as G3" ISO threads or flat gasket seals, ensuring direct interchangeability across a wide range of filter housings from multiple manufacturers.

2. Features/Benefits:

  • (High-Efficiency Coalescing): Utilizes a multi-layer, fine glass fiber or synthetic media treated with special resins. This design effectively captures, merges (coalesces), and drains sub-micron oil and water droplets, delivering outlet air with extremely low contaminant levels (often ≤0.01 ppm w/w oil).

  • (Superior Solid Particle Filtration): Simultaneously removes fine solid particles, typically rated at 0.01 or 0.03 micron, protecting downstream equipment and processes.

  • (High Flow Capacity & Low Initial Pressure Drop): The optimized media structure provides a large filtration area relative to its size, resulting in low initial pressure drop. This maximizes energy efficiency and extends service intervals.

  • (Robust Construction): Features a strong corrosion-resistant metal (aluminum or stainless steel) center core to prevent media collapse, and durable metal or polymer end caps with integrated seals (O-rings).

  • (Broad Compatibility & Interchangeability): As an industry-standard size and interface, it has numerous direct and functional equivalents from major filter manufacturers (e.g. Pall, Parker, Donaldson, Domnick Hunter). This ensures easy sourcing, competitive pricing, and flexibility.

  • (Reliable Service Life): Engineered for consistent performance and gradual, predictable pressure drop increase, facilitating proactive maintenance scheduling.

  • (Optional Variants): Available in specialized versions, such as hydrophobic media for high-moisture applications or high-temperature seals for elevated operating conditions.

3. Application Areas:


    (Compressed Air Purification):

    • Critical in the final stage of compressed air dryers (refrigerated or desiccant) to remove oil and water aerosols.

    • Protects sensitive equipment: pneumatic tools, CNC machines, paint spray systems, instrumentation air, and food/beverage processing lines.

    • Essential for producing Breathing Air (Grade D or higher) for SCBA systems and industrial breathing apparatus

    (Industrial Gas Processing):

    • Purification of instrumentation gases (N₂, Ar, He)process gases, and natural gas by removing pipeline liquids and particulates.

     (Fuel & Hydrocarbon Liquid Conditioning):

    • Final polishing of aviation fuel (Jet A-1)diesel, and kerosene to remove free water and fine contaminants before engine or turbine injection, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

    (General Industrial Manufacturing):

    • Provides clean, dry air for automation controls, robotics, packaging machinery, and pharmaceutical manufacturing where moisture or oil can cause product defects or equipment failure.
