High Temperature Particulate Filter Kit 0024-3150

1. Scope

The High Temperature Particulate Filter Kit is for use with the PCA2, PCA3, and ECA450 combustion analysis
products. The filter is intended as a supplemental filter for applications where ash, dust, or other particulate material is
present in the combustion gases being analyzed.

Material: Stainless Steel
Filter Pore Size: 10 micron

2. Application

Instruction P/N: 0024-9550

Revision 0

May 2, 2012

The High Temperature Particulate Filter Kit may be applied to many Bacharach combustion analyzer probe assemblies.
The probe itself must be 5/16″ (approximately 8 mm) diameter. It is recommended that a dedicated probe assembly be
established for use with this filter, making it quick and easy to change to another probe as required. Simply disconnect
the probe from the instrument and connect another probe.

3. Installation and Use

The filter kit comes complete and ready to install. Loosen the backing nut (but do not remove). Note that the backing nut
retains two clamping ferrules. If these become lost they may be replaced with Swagelok #SS-503-1 and #SS-504-1.

To prevent the thermocouple from touching the inside of the filter, mark a point approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm) from the
end of the probe tube with a marker, tape, or other means. Slide the filter onto the probe tube, stopping at the distance
mark. Carefully tighten the backing nut using two wrenches. Do not over tighten. Only tighten until the filter no longer
freely rotates on the probe tube. Excess tightening will result in the backing nut and ferrules possibly becoming captive on
the probe tube, which is not covered under the warranty.

When taking a measurement with the filter in place, carefully observe the temperature indicated. Allowing additional time
for the temperature to stabilize is normal.

4. Service Life and Cleaning

Due to the wide variety of specific applications, Bacharach does not provide guidelines for service life or cleaning. The
end user may attempt to clean the filter using a cleaning method and chemicals that he or she deem appropriate to the
specific usage environment.
