A highly efficient liquid separation device, KC separators are well suited for any location in an air system where heavy liquid loads could be expected. The KC separator is particularly well suited for use with an aftercooler. Pressure drop across KC Separators remains consistently low throughout its service life, and no replacement parts are needed.

  • Liquid Removal: 99+% of water
  • Maximum Liquid Loading: 30,000 ppm w/w
  • Pressure Drop: Wet: 0.8 psi

General Description

N/A Superior Filtration for Increased Productivity

Kaeser Gives You the Air Quality You Require

Ambient air contains contaminants that are drawn into the compressor. These contaminants are concentrated during compression and find their way into the compressed air system. A typical compressed air system is contaminated with abrasive solid particles such as dirt, rust and pipe scale, compressor lubricants, condensed water droplets, and oil and hydrocarbon vapors.

Contaminated compressed air systems increase operating costs by robbing the air system of useful power. This results in reduced efficiency, damaged air operated equipment, higher maintenance and repair costs, reduced production caused by downtime, and increased product rejections.

The properly sized and selected Kaeser filter(s) in conjunction with the appropriate dryer will remove these contaminants. This will allow the compressed air system to deliver the quality of air required for the particular application whether it’s plant air, instrument air, or breathing air.

High Performance Filters and Separators

N/A Designed and developed using the latest innovations and manufacturing techniques, Kaeser filter housings are designed with larger flow areas to ensure low pressure drop and to provide easier installation, operation and maintenance. The result is consistent product quality while minimizing operating costs.

Kaeser Reduces the Cost of Compressed Air

N/A Kaeser filters remove more contaminants with less pressure drop. Compare the operating pressure drop of competitive brand filters and remember, for every extra 2 psi of pressure drop, power requirements increase by 1 %.

With a complete selection of application-specific filter types, sizes, technical service and support, Kaeser offers a customized solution for all of your compressed air quality needs.

Standard Features and Benefits

N/A

  1. Delta P Slide Indicator
    Ensures economical operation by changing color when filter element requires replacement. Fitted as standard on filters up to 60 scfm (excluding KVA).


  2. Color Coded Elements
    Allows easy identification. Elements are designed using the latest media innovations and manufacturing technology.


  3. Internal Automatic Drain
    Reliably discharges collected condensate (excluding KVA and KFS 250 and above).


  4. Delta P Gauge
    Large, easy-to-read dual gauge faces allow housings to be mounted in any flow direction. Fitted as standard on filters from 100 scfm and up (except KVA).


  5. Modular Connections
    Space-saving design allows housings to be connected in series without additional piping.


  6. Liquid Level Indicator
    Visually monitor liquid level and verify drain operation.

Modular Housings for Flows Up to 780 scfm

N/A
