OverviewThe 824 Series Dual Stage Filters combine centrifugal separation with an extended-surface sub‑micron coalescing element and a GW automatic drain to remove liquid and solid contaminants from compressed air systems. Heavy bulk liquids are separated by centrifugal action; oil varnish and water aerosols ≥ 0.03 µm are coalesced; abrasive particles > 0.3 µm are retained. Accumulated liquids are expelled automatically via the GW automatic drain.
Key Features- Two-stage filtration: centrifugal separation followed by extended‑surface sub‑micron coalescing.
- Separation of heavy bulk liquids by centrifugal action.
- Coalescence of oil varnish and water aerosols ≥ 0.03 µm.
- Retention of abrasive particles > 0.3 µm.
- GW automatic drain for unattended expulsion of collected liquids; available drain valve variants (electric or air‑piloted).
Benefits- Reduces contaminant ingress to auxiliary equipment (e.g., sanding systems, horns, bells, pneumatic valves, safety‑related brake components), improving operational reliability.
- Helps prevent unscheduled maintenance and downtime by removing water, solids and oil varnish from the air supply.
Configurations- Multiple configurations and element options to suit different system requirements.
- Selectable automatic drain valves: fully electric or air‑piloted.
- Designed for integration into compressed air treatment systems for industrial and rail applications.
Technical specifications- Filtration method: centrifugal separation + extended‑surface sub‑micron coalescing element (dual stage).
- Coalescing performance: oil varnish and water aerosols ≥ 0.03 µm coalesced.
- Particle retention: abrasive particles > 0.3 µm retained.
- Drain: GW automatic drain for automatic expulsion of accumulated liquids.
- Options: multiple filter element configurations and selectable automatic drain valve types (electric or air‑piloted).
- Typical applications: compressed air systems and auxiliary equipment in industrial and rail environments.
