1. Product Concept

The CA38-3SB is a premium-grade, high-performance coalescing filter cartridge designed for demanding compressed air and gas applications. Engineered to be a direct, heavy-duty replacement for original OEM models, its core function is to eliminate liquid aerosols—such as oil mist, water vapor, and sub-micron liquid particles—from process streams. Through advanced multi-stage coalescing media, it ensures final-stage purification, delivering ultra-dry and oil-free air that meets strict international purity standards like ISO 8573-1 Class 1 (≤0.01 mg/m³ residual oil). The “SB” suffix typically indicates a Severe-Duty or Heavy-Duty design, optimized for high contaminant loads and challenging industrial environments.

2. Key Features & Advantages

• Exceptional Filtration Efficiency: Removes liquid aerosols down to 0.1 micron with over 99.9% efficiency, ensuring consistent, high-purity air output.

• High Contaminant Holding Capacity & Long Service Life: The optimized depth-loading media structure allows for maximum dirt loading while maintaining a low and stable pressure drop, significantly extending filter life and reducing replacement frequency and operational costs.

• Robust, Heavy-Duty Construction (“SB” Design): Built with reinforced internal and external support cages and durable end caps to withstand pulsating flows, high differential pressure, and harsh operating conditions without media migration or collapse.

• Precision Fit & Reliable Sealing: Manufactured to exact OEM dimensions with dual high-grade O-ring seals (typically Nitrile or Viton®), ensuring a perfect, leak-proof installation in compatible housings and preventing bypass.

• Certified Performance: Designed to reliably achieve ISO 8573-1 Class 1 air quality for oil, providing verified protection for sensitive downstream equipment and processes.

3. Application Fields

The CA38-3SB is essential in industrial settings where air quality and system reliability are critical under demanding conditions:

• Heavy Industrial Manufacturing: Protects pneumatic tools, CNC machinery, robotic actuators, and assembly lines in automotive, metalworking, and general manufacturing plants from oil and water damage.

• Process & Chemical Industries: Used in chemical processing, petrochemical plants, and refineries to supply clean, dry instrument air for control valves, analyzers, and safety systems.

• Large Central Air Systems: Ideal as a main header filter in large compressed air networks and for protecting desiccant dryers from liquid carryover, ensuring overall system efficiency.

• Energy & Utilities: Provides final purification for natural gas streams and supplies clean air to gas turbine control systems and power generation facilities.

• Critical OEM Replacements: Serves as a high-reliability service part for maintaining the performance of original filter assemblies from leading industrial manufacturers.
