Operation
Coalescing Filtration
Orientation o the flter housing
is critical or proper operation.
The drain port must ace down.
5Dry, fltered gas exits through topport and ows to process
analyzer
1 Gas stream entersside port and movesthrough flter elementrom
inside to outside
4 Liquid exits out drain port
3Large drops are orced to outside oelement by gas low. Gravity
orces thedrops to all away rom the element
2Filter element captures fneliquid droplets suspended
in the gas orcing them tocoalesce (orm large drops)within flter
element
Particle Filtration
Orientation o the flter is notcritical or proper operation.
1Gas stream enters top port andmoves through flter element
romoutside to inside
2Filter element captures anyparticulate suspended in gas.Only a
small volume o gaspasses through the element
4Most gas bypasses flter element,exits through bottom port,
andreturns to process line
3Filtered gas exitsside port and owsto the processanalyzer
