Models
The Airpel Series of Dual filters are available in various material configurations to ensure the compatibility between material selection and process fluid is acceptable while still maintaining full sight of budget requirements.
OWO – ‘Oil Body’ design comprising of Cast Iron Body with an Iron diversion cock arrangement suitable for Oil / self-lubricating fluids and applications.
OWWB – ‘Water Body’ design comprising of Cast Iron Body with a Gunmetal diversion cock / sleeve arrangement suitable for water like fluids and applications. This design has no need for regular injection of grease (via grease sticks, grease nipples, etc) to lubricate the diverter cock, the material combination removes this requirement.
OWC – Cast Iron design comprising of Cast Iron Body with a Stainless Steel diversion cock arrangement suitable for chemical applications
OWSS – Stainless Steel design comprising of Cast Stainless Steel Body with a Stainless Steel diversion cock arrangement suitable for high corrosive fluids such as aggressive chemicals, water, etc. and some food and beverage applications.
OWSSGM – Stainless Steel design comprising of Cast Stainless Steel Body Gunmetal diversion cock / sleeve arrangement suitable for water like fluids and applications.
This design has no need for regular injection of grease (via grease sticks, grease nipples, etc) to lubricate the diverter cock, the material combination removes this requirement.
OWSC – Steel design comprising of Cast Steel Body with a Stainless Steel diversion cock arrangement suitable for chemical applications.
OWS – Steel design comprising of Cast Steel Body with an Iron diversion cock arrangement suitable for applications where Steel filter bodies are preferred and the process fluid is self-lubricating.
OWSWB – Steel design comprising of Cast Steel Body with an Gunmetal diversion cock / sleeve arrangement suitable for applications where Steel filter bodies are preferred.
This design has no need for regular injection of grease (via grease sticks, grease nipples, etc) to lubricate the diverter cock, the material combination removes this requirement.
OWGM – Gunmetal design comprising of Cast Gunmetal Body with a Gunmetal diversion cock arrangement suitable for high corrosive applications such as sea water, internal filtration baskets would be supplied in Monel.
Other configurations available dependant on process fluids and applications.
Applications
PROTECT PIPELINE EQUIPMENT AGAINST DAMAGE
Machinery such as pumps and valves can be broken by grit, metal fragments, etc. while nozzles and heat exchangers have narrow construction that could easily become blocked, this equipment is expensive to repair / replace and the cost of downtime could be crippling, so the installation of a strainer ensures that the primary equipment is protected from any unplanned outage.
Typical Applications would include:
- Nozzle protection
- Heat exchanger protection
- Valve protection
- Pump protection
REMOVE PARTICLES FROM FLUID PRODUCT
Even if pipeline equipment is not at risk particles in discharge may breach environmental legislation or product acceptance criteria, so the use of a strainer / filter can prove to be a cost effecting and efficient way to maintain the process fluids quality whilst maintaining working standards.
Common industries where product quality is essential:
- Water treatment
- Food and beverage
- Pharmaceutical
- Paints, inks and varnishes, etc.
