PALL AquaSep Plus L/L Coalescer filter elements

Liquid/ Liquid Coalescer Elements Stage 1: Prefiltration Due to the fine pore structure of this coalescer medium, Pall recommends that a prefilter be installed upstream of the coalescer assembly to properly control particulate matter in the liquid stream. Installing a prefilter significantly extends the life of the coalescer and reduces particulate concentration in the filter effluent to meet solids specifications. To maximize the service life of AquaSep Plus coalescers, each coalescer is constructed with an integral prefilter. Stage 2: Coalescence The hydrocarbon and water mixture enters the coalescing element and flows inside to outside (see Figure 1). This is where small droplets of dispersed phase liquid come together, or coalesce, as the mixture moves through the depth of Palls specially formulated coalescer medium. Stage 3: Separation In separating water from fuel, water-free fuel and large water droplets flow toward the separator located directly below the coalescer stage. Flow is outside to inside (see Figure 1). The separator medium is hydrophobic, which prevents water from entering the separator. Only water- free fuel flows through the separator . Water and fuel are removed by separate drain connections. In separating oil from water, a settling zone is designed downstream of the coalescer. In the settling zone, the large coalescer droplets are separated due to gravity (see Figure 2). Benefits Continuously Efficient in Liquid Separation and Particle Removal for Improved Fluid Quality and Value The effective liquid separation and the particulate removal abilities of the AquaSep Plus coalescer system significantly reduces off-spec product incidents, thereby saving reprocessing and transportation costs. Low Cost Liquid Separation and Solids Removal Due to AquaSep Plus coalescers longer life and superior liquid separation efficiency, the overall cost of liquid separation is low especially when compared to other less efficient methods. The integral prefilter within the AquaSep Plus coalescer maximizes element service life. Does Not Disarm; Increases Service Life Palls specially formulated medium coalescer contains no glass fiber and does not disarm in the presence of surfactants. This results in longer service life than conventional coalescers. The prefilter stage removes particulates and also extends the filter service life. High Performance Design Results in Smaller Assembly Size The high performance AquaSep Plus coalescer stack design promotes an even flow distribution permitting a high rate of flow. As a result, fewer coalescer cartridges are required to efficiently remove water from fuel. This results in a small economic assembly size. Ordering Information LCS2B1AH
