How does the AC Activated Carbon Compressed Air Filter, SYNTESI® Series, No End Connections achieve oil residue levels as low as 0.003 mg/m³ and which pre-filters are recommended?

The AC Activated Carbon Compressed Air Filter, SYNTESI® Series, No End Connections achieves oil residue levels as low as 0.003 mg/m³ by passing compressed air through a high‑capacity bed of activated carbon granulate that adsorbs oil vapors, solvents and odors with very high efficiency. To protect and extend the activated carbon element life (up to 4000 operating hours) and to ensure consistent ultra‑low oil carryover, it is recommended to install upstream: a 5 µm pre‑filter to remove coarser aerosols and particles, and a 0.01 µm fine filter to capture very fine aerosols and condensate carryover before the activated carbon stage. Together these pre‑filters minimize contaminant load on the carbon bed, maintain low pressure drop (≤75 mbar) and help the SYNTESI® AC series meet ISO 8573‑1 class 1‑7‑1 performance.

What maintenance schedule and procedures are recommended to ensure the AC Activated Carbon Compressed Air Filter, SYNTESI® Series, No End Connections maintains its 0.003 mg/m³ oil residue performance?

Recommended maintenance schedule and procedures to ensure AC Activated Carbon Compressed Air Filter, SYNTESI® Series, No End Connections maintains 0.003 mg/m³ oil residue: - Pre-installation: fit a 5 µm pre-filter and a 0.01 µm fine filter upstream to protect the carbon bed and extend element life (up to 4000 h). - Daily/Shift checks: - Visually inspect for external damage, leaks and correct drain operation. - Check condensate drain (manual or RMSA semi‑automatic) for proper function; empty if manual. - Weekly: - Monitor system pressure drop across the filter; record baseline and watch for gradual rises. A pressure drop approaching 75 mbar indicates element loading. - Monthly: - Verify inlet air quality and operating temperature (-10°C to +50°C) and pressure (SY1 ≤15 bar, SY2 ≤13 bar). Ensure flow rates do not exceed recommended (SY1 350 l/min, SY2 800 l/min at 6.3 bar). - Element replacement intervals: - Replace activated carbon element at or before 4000 operating hours under recommended upstream filtration and typical conditions. - Replace earlier if oil residue tests show increase above 0.003 mg/m³, or if pressure drop exceeds 75 mbar, or if strong odors reappear. - Testing and validation: - Periodically (e.g., every 6 months or after major system changes) perform oil residue measurement to confirm ≤0.003 mg/m³. - After replacement or service, validate pressure drop and oil residue before returning to critical use. - Recordkeeping: - Log inspections, pressure drop readings, drain actions, operating hours, element change dates, and oil residue test results. Following these procedures will help maintain the specified oil residue performance and maximize service life of the AC Activated Carbon Compressed Air Filter, SYNTESI® Series, No End Connections.
