Typical Applications
Grade B coalescing filters are used where removal of liquid aerosols and submicronic particles is required for general air quality. Typical applications include:
- Pneumatic air valves and cylinders protection
- Air conveyors and air gaging systems
- Air bearings and air control circuits
- Paint spraying equipment
- General industrial compressed air systems
This filter serves as an effective prefilter for downstream Grade C high-efficiency filters where extremely fine particulate removal is critical.
