Last week, we sang the praises of Atlas Copco filters in a “top product” post and then dove into a new understanding of filtration mechanisms. You could say we care about compressed air quality, and we care equally about saving our customers energy.
That’s why our filter competence team has designed a new generation of filters that increase efficiency and save energy by reducing system pressure drops. The filters are also fully certified according to ISO standards, ensuring the highest air quality in the industry.
The magic is in the makeup. The new filter designs feature a new micro-glass fiber filter media and a six layer wrapped construction to ensure high purity filtration, while guaranteeing consistent performance over the filter lifetime. Moreover, the performance is independent of the relative humidity.
The filter construction was further strengthened with an enhanced perforated stainless steel metal core to ensure ultimate mechanical strength and drastically reduce the risk of implosion.
The new filters include:
DD+ and PD+ Filters for the filtration of oil aerosols: compared to the previous generation, the pressure drop of the new DD+ and PD+ filters has been reduced and the oil carry over has been decreased by more than 20%.
DDp+ and PDp+ Filters for the filtration of solid particles: the new dust filters, DDp+ and PDp+, have extremely high particle removal efficiencies of 99.92% (DDp+) and 99.98% (PDp+).
