CA28-3 Stainless Steel (SB) Coalescing Filter Element

The CA28-3SB is a specialized, space-efficient coalescing filter cartridge designed to deliver robust and reliable fluid purification in compact systems operating within demanding environmental conditions. It merges the proven filtration performance of the CA28 series with two key differentiating features: a compact 3-inch (76 mm) height for installation in space-constrained locations, and stainless steel ("SB") construction for enhanced durability. This product is engineered to protect sensitive downstream components by efficiently removing oil mist, water aerosols, and fine particulates from compressed air or gases, even in the presence of moisture, corrosion risks, or chemical exposure.

Thread Interface:

M30 × 1.5 male thread (stainless steel)

Initial Pressure Drop:

0.06 – 0.15 bar (at rated flow)

Product Introduction

1. Product Concept

The CA28-3SB is a compact, high-performance coalescing filter cartridge engineered for space-limited applications where environmental durability is critical. Combining the efficient contaminant removal of the CA28 series with a 3-inch (76 mm) height and stainless steel ("SB") construction, it is designed to deliver reliable, corrosion-resistant filtration in harsh or corrosive atmospheres. This filter is ideal for point-of-use or auxiliary systems requiring robust protection against oil mist, water aerosols, and fine particulates, all within a minimal footprint.

2. Key Features & Advantages

  • Compact & Corrosion-Resistant Design

    • The 3-inch height saves space in control panels, instrumentation racks, or compact filter housings.

    • Stainless steel end caps and support core provide excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical attack, ensuring long-term reliability in humid, marine, or industrial environments.

  • Efficient Coalescing Performance

    • Utilizes a multi-layer glass fiber or synthetic coalescing media to effectively capture liquid and solid contaminants, typically rated for particles and aerosols ≥0.1 µm.

    • Maintains low residual oil content, generally ≤0.1 ppm, ensuring clean output for sensitive equipment.

  • Optimized for Point-of-Use Applications

    • Designed for lower to moderate flow rates suitable for instrument air, individual tool supply, or local protection of critical components.

    • Offers a balanced initial pressure drop for its size, contributing to system efficiency.

  • Robust Compatibility

    • Features a standard industrial interface (e.g., M30×1.5 male thread) compatible with compact 3-inch filter housings.

    • The stainless steel construction allows for use in a wider range of fluid compatibilities and more rigorous cleaning protocols if needed.

3. Primary Application Areas

  • Point-of-Use Filtration in Harsh Environments: Protecting individual instruments, valves, or actuators in corrosive industrial settings (chemical plants, offshore platforms).

  • Instrumentation & Control Panels: Integrated into control cabinets, analyzer shelters, or PLC panels for clean, dry instrument air supply.

  • Marine & Offshore Auxiliary Systems: Small compressed air systems on vessels or platforms where space is limited and corrosion resistance is mandatory.

  • Food & Beverage/Pharmaceutical Support (Non-Contact): For localized air supply in processing areas where stainless steel construction is preferred for cleanability and durability.
