Unrivaled high performance
The new Ultra-Filter has been developed based on worldwide experience and more efficient – economical filtration technology.
• Filter design optimized according to capacity minimizes pressure loss.
• Advanced filtration technology ensures high separation efficiency.
• Complete solution for unrivaled efficiency.
With computer-aided simulation, optimum air flow rate has been calculated, and a turbulence-free design has been applied to both the filter element and housing, thereby guaranteeing low pressure losses.
Cost savings due to energy efficiency
More economical filtration is only achievable by reducing the differential pressure created by the filter. A mere 200 mbar reduction in differential pressure allows a compressor running 8,000 hours per year to save approximately €1,500 in electricity costs. (7 bar operating pressure, 120 kW screw compressor, electricity unit price €0.08/kWh). As the example shows, the filter investment pays back in under one year.
In subsequent stages, energy savings require that filter elements be replaced at the correct time. This economic interval is calculated by an electronic component called the Economizer. Differential pressure is measured continuously, and these values are evaluated by a microprocessor, which compares energy costs with the cost of new filter elements. When the most cost-effective time for filter replacement arrives, an LED signals “Filter Change.”
Using the correct materials is also important for economical filtration. Depending on the application and required air quality, one or more of six different types of filter elements may be needed. In doing so, it is essential to keep the differential pressure to a minimum. Coarse pre‑filters, micro filters, precision filters, and activated carbon filter elements are used as required for efficient purification.
