Product Introduction


Product Description: CA38-5S Coalescing Filter Cartridge

1. Product Concept


The CA38-5S is a high-performance industrial coalescing filter cartridge specifically engineered for compressed air and gas purification systems. Designed as an enhanced "Special/S" series variant, it represents an optimized balance between high-flow capacity and superior filtration efficiency. The cartridge operates on advanced coalescing principles where sub-micron liquid aerosols (oil, water, and compressor lubricants) are captured, merged into larger droplets, and separated from the air stream through gravity drainage. This process ensures the delivery of ultra-dry, oil-free compressed air that consistently meets stringent international air quality standards while protecting sensitive downstream equipment and processes from liquid contamination.

2. Key Features & Advantages

  • High-Efficiency Coalescing Performance: Removes liquid aerosols down to 0.1 micron with >99.9% efficiency, ensuring compliance with ISO 8573-1 Class 1 standards (≤0.01 mg/m³ residual oil)

  • Optimized High-Flow Design: Engineered for 20-30 Nm³/min flow capacity with minimal pressure drop, making it ideal for medium to large compressed air systems

  • Enhanced Structural Integrity: Features reinforced construction with stabilized inner/outer support cages and robust end caps to prevent media migration under pulsating conditions

  • Precision Sealing System: Dual O-ring seals (standard Nitrile, optional Viton®) ensure leak-proof installation in compatible filter housings

  • Extended Service Life: High contaminant-holding capacity maintains stable differential pressure, reducing maintenance frequency and operational costs

  • Direct OEM Compatibility: Manufactured to exact dimensional specifications for seamless replacement in original equipment housings

3. Application Fields

  • Industrial Manufacturing: Protection of pneumatic tools, CNC machinery, robotic systems, and automated production lines in automotive, metalworking, and packaging industries

  • Process Industries: Supply of purified instrument air for control systems, analytical equipment, and processing machinery in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage facilities

  • Central Air Systems: Primary or secondary filtration in plant-wide compressed air networks, protecting downstream dryers and distribution pipelines

  • Energy Sector: Natural gas filtration and turbine control air purification in power generation and processing plants

  • Maintenance & Service: High-performance replacement solution for OEM filter assemblies requiring enhanced flow capacity and reliability
