Filter separator
Filter separator
The filter separator is designed and manufactured in compliance with the requirements of GB/T 150 Pressure Vessels and TSG 21 Safety Technical Supervision Regulation for Stationary Pressure Vessels.
The GLF-type filter separator consists of a cylinder, head, quick-opening blind flange, filter element bundle, separation element, liquid collection chamber, level gauge, and saddle support.
The filter separator typically adopts a quick-opening blind flange structure, enabling simple and fast operation. It can be configured in either vertical or horizontal designs. Multiple filter elements made of stainless steel mesh or polyester fiber form a filter bundle to simultaneously process the medium, allowing for higher flow rates and lower pressure loss. A stainless steel vane-type mist eliminator at the end removes liquid droplets from the medium. Impurities filtered out by the filter elements are collected in the liquid collection chamber at the bottom of the filter separator, and the need for drainage can be determined by observing the externally mounted level gauge. Customers can assess filter element blockage by monitoring the differential pressure gauge reading.
The filter separator operates based on the screening effect, deep filtration effect, and electrostatic effect of dry-type separators, along with the mist eliminator's water removal principle, to eliminate solid impurities and moisture from gases. The specially treated filter elements also provide some separation capability for small amounts of liquid impurities.
Structural Characteristics
-
The quick-opening blind flange structure facilitates filter element replacement with minimal time. The quick-opening blind flange device is equipped with a safety interlock to prevent accidental opening of the filter separator under pressure.01
-
Multiple filter elements form a filter bundle to simultaneously process the medium, enabling higher flow rates with minimal pressure loss. The filter elements are easy to clean; replacement is recommended when the pressure differential across the filter reaches 100kPa.02
-
The inner core of the filter element has a pressure-bearing strength of 0.37MPa.03
-
Filter elements of varying precision can be selected as needed.04
-
A liquid collection chamber is installed to enhance the equipment's dirt-holding capacity, extending maintenance intervals and reducing operational costs. The chamber is positioned below the main cylinder, outside the airflow path, preventing re-entrainment of impurities and improving efficiency.05
-
The separation elements are made of 304 or 316 stainless steel, requiring no disassembly or cleaning after installation—maintenance-free for the entire service life.06
-
The liquid collection chamber can be equipped with local and remote monitoring functions. A local differential pressure gauge can be installed on the filter separator body, and remote monitoring is also possible.07
-
The automatic drainage function is achieved by controlling solenoid and drain valves through the analysis of differential pressure and liquid level data by the control system.08
