1. Product Concept
The CA43-3SB is a premium severe-duty (SB) coalescing filter cartridge engineered for maximum reliability in the most demanding industrial air and gas purification systems. Designed as a high-performance OEM-compatible solution, it delivers ultimate protection against sub-micron liquid aerosols—including oil mist, water, and hydrocarbon contaminants—under extreme operating conditions such as high contaminant loads, pulsating flows, and variable pressures. This cartridge ensures the consistent production of ultra-pure, oil-free compressed air that meets the strictest international purity standards (ISO 8573-1 Class 0/1), safeguarding critical processes and sensitive equipment in harsh environments.
2. Key Features & Advantages
Severe-Duty Robust Construction: Features reinforced inner/outer support cages, industrial-grade end caps, and advanced media stabilization to prevent migration, bypass, or collapse under high differential pressure and pulsating conditions.
Exceptional Filtration Performance: Removes liquid aerosols and fine particulates down to 0.1 micron with >99.9% efficiency, consistently achieving air quality compliant with ISO 8573-1 Class 0/1 standards (residual oil ≤0.003–0.01 mg/m³).
High Capacity & Extended Service Life: Engineered for maximum contaminant holding capacity, significantly prolonging service intervals and reducing total operating costs while maintaining stable, low pressure drop.
Optimized High-Flow Design: Capable of handling high volumetric flow rates (typically 35–50 Nm³/min) with minimal initial pressure drop, ensuring energy efficiency in large-scale systems.
Premium Sealing Reliability: Equipped with a precision dual O-ring sealing system (standard Nitrile, optional Viton®/FKM) for leak-proof installation in compatible housings.
Validated & Certified Performance: Independently tested per ISO 12500 standards and manufactured to exact OEM dimensions for guaranteed compatibility and performance.
3. Application Fields
The CA43-3SB is deployed in mission-critical industries where air purity and system reliability are paramount:
Heavy Process Industries: Critical instrument and control air for chemical plants, petrochemical refineries, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and power generation facilities.
Large-Scale Manufacturing: Protection of automated pneumatic systems, CNC machining centers, robotic paint lines, and large assembly operations in automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment sectors.
Central Compressed Air Infrastructure: Primary or final-stage filtration in plant-wide compressed air networks, protecting downstream equipment like desiccant dryers and distribution systems.
Energy & Oil/Gas Sectors: Filtration of natural gas streams, turbine control air, and breathing air systems in exploration, production, and processing facilities.
High-Reliability OEM & MRO Markets: Preferred severe-duty service cartridge for maintaining critical filter assemblies where operational continuity is essential.
