Galvanized Steel Moisture Separator Quote

General- The washable type AFI moisture separator is built with corrosion resistant materials and serves two important functions: its primary function is to collect water droplets and oil mist from an airsteam and divert the liquid to an appropriate drain. It also functions as a washable, low efficiency particulate filter. Type AFI is designed for use in outside airducts, side-accessing housing and built up filter banks.

Construction- The type AFI filter uses a 22-gauge galvanized steel frame to enclose the filter media. The corners are mitered and the frame is secured with pop rivet(s). 3/8" diameter drain holes are punched on the bottom of the frame and a label describing proper position for drainage and airflow is affixed at the top of the frame. The media consists of multiple layers of corrugated and flat aluminum screen wire, assembled with the screen corrugation positioned vertically for efficient drainage, placed between two expanded galvanized steel grids. The media is made to fit firmly inside the frame giving the type AFI moisture separator its exceptional strength and durability. The 2" filter is 15-ply. Three standard nominal size filters are available in a thickness of 2"(1-3/4" actual) and they are 5/8" undercuts on the height and width dimensions. Special size filters made to the exact height and width dimensions as specified are available in a nominal thickness of 2"(1-3/4" actual).

Options- Wide neoprene gaskets are installed on the filter when using in a side-accessing housing to prevent liquid bypass. Specify Type AFIG when ordering on request.

Performance- The recommended operating range for Type AFI is between 450 to 550 fpm face velocity. At this range, the filter is 98% efficient with liquid droplets of 20 micrometers. The moisture separator also functions, as a low efficiency particulate filter causing an increase in pressure drop as the filter becomes dirty. Allow 0.5 W.G. static pressure for fan selection calculations.

Installation Considerations- Install the type HMS in an outside air duct or in the primary filter stage upstream from particulate filters. It may also be installed in built-up banks made of holding frames with drain pans installed on each horizontal row, or in side-access housings equipped with drain tubes. Specify type HMSG in this application.

Filter Cleanings- Rinse with a moderate-to-heavy stream of warm water. High-powered steam cleaning or chemical dips are unnecessary and not recommenced.

Notes:

• Tolerances: Height and Width- 1/16"
• Thickness- 1/32"
• Recommended final resistance- 0.5 " W.G
