Instruction Manual

Ultra-fine filter series FP

Introduction

The M&C panel-mounting filter FPF-0,1 is equipped with an extra fine glass-fibre filter element with a filter
fineness of 0,1 µm. This guarantees an optimised protection of the analysers against solids.

Description

The filter FPF-0,1 consists of the following components:

c filter glass, d filter element holder, e filter element, f O-ring, g filter body, h hexagon screws and i front-
ring.
At the back of the FPF-0,1 filter the G1/8“i
outlet are marked accordingly. The filter element e is fixed with the filter element holder d on the filter body g.
The filter glass c is screwed in the filter body g and covers the filter area. The filter glass presses on the O-ring
f which guarantees the tightness of the device. The front-ring i with it’s hexagon screws fixes the filter FPF-0,1
in the front panel.

Function

The sample gas enters the filter via the gas inlet from the outer side of the filter element to the inner side and
leaves the filter via the outlet connection.

Maintenance

Before the maintenance work is carried out, it is necessary that the specific safety procedures
pertaining to the system and operational process be observed!

process conditions and have to be determined specifically. The maintenance work is focused on the check of the
filter element respectively the change of the element.

Change of the filter element

Please carry out the following steps:

• before changing the element shut off the gas way to the filter and if necessary sweep the filter with inert gas;

• unscrew by hand the filter glass anticlockwise (the direction is marked on the front-ring);

• unscrew by hand the filter element holder anticlockwise;

• dismantle the filter element;

•

Check the right position of the o-ring before assembling the filter

• clean the filter housing respectively the filter glass if necessary and re-install the new filter element in the
opposite turn

Application

Panel-mounting filter FPF-0,1

The M&C front panel-mounting extra-fine filters reliably separate solids, in
particular very fine particles, occurring in analysis techniques in gas filtration,
using very fine, deep-acting filter elements. The large filter surface of the
cylindrical filter element guarantees reliable extra-fine filtration and a long

service life with low pressure drop.
The 19" front-plate mounting equipment requires flat-design equipment for

30

which the FPF-0,1 extra-fine filter has primarily been developed.

Description

A

Special features of the M&C FPF-0,1 front panel-mounting filter are flat design,
low dead volume, simple construction and assembly as well as universal
usability.

The condition of the filter can be seen immediately from outside through the
filter glass without opening the filter fitting. No tools are needed for changing the
filter element; here, the optimum positioning of the sealing O-ring always
guarantees reliable sealing of the filter glass in respect of the filter body. The

7

gas connections are located at the back in the filter body. The inlet of the
measuring gas can be turned by 180° at the front ring attachment so that a
flexible adjustment to local conditions is possible when assembling.
