EHP SERIES FILTER ELEMENTS

PRODUCT PURPOSE & FUNCTION:

Van Air's EHP series elements provide long service life as well as ease of maintenance. Both particulate and coalescing elements will operate efficiently for extended periods of time until a pressure drop of 10 PSID has occurred. The activated carbon element (RD grade) must be changed to suit specific applications, or at least every 6 months.

ELEMENT REPLACEMENT

NING

TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION FROM EXCESSIVE PRESSURE DROP AND MINIMIZE CHANCE OF CONTAMINANT CARRYOVER, INSTALL NEW ELEMENT WHEN PRESSURE DROP REACHES 10 PSID (EXCEPT GRADE RD). INSTALL NEW RD ELEMENTS WHEN HYDROCARBON VAPORS ARE FIRST DETECTED DOWNSTREAM OR AT LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS.

Close inlet and outlet shutoff valves (and open bypass valve

1. if provided), or lock out all compressed air supply to filter housing.

Depressurize filter by loosening the drain plug, but do not

2. remove the drain plug. Leave drain cracked open until all pressure is out of filter housing and bowl is removed.

IMPORTANT

WARNING

DO NOT UNSCREW FILTER BOWL FROM HEAD UNTIL VESSEL IS COMPLETELY DEPRESSURIZED.

Follow the filter instruction manual included with filter housing

3. to disassemble the filter. Remove used element and discard.

4. Remove new element from packaging. Check to make sure

5. that o-ring is properly positioned in endcap and has been lightly greased. Grasp clean element by bottom endcap and install it in the filter

6. head. Check o-ring in filter head. Replace if worn or damaged.

7. Clean and lubricate threads on bowl with light grease. This will

8. facilitate removal of bowl at next servicing. Follow filter instruction manual to reassemble the filter.

9. Tighten the drain plug then slowly open inlet and outlet shutoff

10. valves. Close bypass valve (if provided). Filter is now in service. Monitor differential pressure regularly and replace element as

11. indicated.

Drain coalescing filters every shift.

•

Check differential pressures weekly on coalescing and

•

particulate filters (AA, A, B, C, RA, RB, RC, and HT grades). When differential pressure reaches 10 psid, install clean elements. On adsorbing filters (grade RD), install clean elements when hydrocarbon vapors are first detected downstream or every six months, whichever comes first.

MAINTENANCE

For correct replacement element model numbers see: label

•

on filter housing, bottom element endcap and/or page 3. When changing out element, inspect housing o-ring for

•

nicks and/or cracks. If any nicks and/or cracks are present, replace o-ring.
