F200 SERIES

COMPRESSED AIR FILTERS

PRODUCT PURPOSE & FUNCTION:

Van Air's F200 series lters are designed to remove contaminants from compressed air systems. Available in 1/4" to 3"

connection sizes and ow capacities from 15 to 1250 SCFM (at 100 psig) in 15 housings and 9 ltration grades, the F200 series
can remove oil aerosols, oil vapors, water and particulates. Housings are made of cast aluminum and coated with an epoxy powder
coating for corrosion resistance. All units include push-on elements with durable polyester drain layer (except RD grade).
Accessories include differential pressure indicators, wall mounting kits, connector kits, and automatic drain valves.

INSTALLATION

Before installing lter, check operating temperature and pres-

1.
sure conditions to verify that they are within the specied
ranges. (See Operating Conditions on page 1). Also verify
that system ow rate corresponds to the rated capacity of
the lter. Operating at ows above rated capacity will result
in increased pressure drop.

Locate Filter at the point of lowest operating temperature to

2.
ensure that water and oil vapor do not condense downstream
of the lter. Filter should be installed close to the point of
use to minimize the risk of pipe scale, dirt, etc. recontaminat­ing the compressed air. This is particularly important when
installing a new lter on an existing system that has not had
proper ltration.

Install lter vertically. Provide required minimum clearance

3.
below lter to allow for replacement of element.

(See Element Removal Clearance on page 2).

Protect lter from reverse ow conditions. Do not install lter

4.
downstream of quick opening valves.

Remove lter head from the bowl by turning bowl counter-

5.
clockwise. Pull element from locator. Set bowl and element
aside for use later.

Install inlet and outlet shutoff valves to facilitate replacement

6.
of element. Bypass piping is recommended (See Figure 1A

and 1B). MAKE SURE VALVES ARE CLOSED BEFORE
PROCEEDING.

IMPORTANT

INSTALL FILTER HEAD INTO THE PIPING WITH AR­ROWS POINTING IN THE PROPER DIRECTION TO
ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. (SEE FLOW DIREC­TION DIAGRAM BELOW).

8.

Install element by pushing onto element locator on lter head.

Check to make sure that the o-ring in the head is in the proper

9.
position. Thread lter bowl into lter head and tighten either
by hand (models F200-15 through 55) or with strap wrench
(models F200-85 through 1250). Do not over tighten. Overtight­ening could damage lter bowl or make it difcult to remove.

10.

Make sure drain valve on bottom of lter is closed. On lters
equipped with ADM2-2 auto drain, provide a drain line to
remove accumulated water and oil.

11.

Pressurize system and slowly open inlet and outlet shutoff
valves.

12.

Check piping for leaks. Depressurize system and repair leaks
as needed.

13.

Re-pressurize system and slowly open inlet and outlet shutoff
valves. Close bypass valve if provided.

14.

Filter is now in service.

Connect lter head into piping. Avoid reducers or bushings to

7.
match inlet size. The resulting restriction will increase pressure
drop. Make sure head is installed with ow arrows pointing
in proper direction. Use pipe thread compound as required.

MAINTENANCE

Drain coalescing lters every shift.

•

Check differential pressures weekly on coalescing and par-

•
ticulate lters (AA, A, B, C, RA, RB, and RC grades). When
the indicator is red on differential pressure indicator, install
clean elements. On adsorbing lters (grade RD), install clean
elements when hydrocarbon vapors are rst detected down­stream or every six months, whichever comes rst.

*

on lter housing, the bottom endcap of the element, or page
5 of this instruction manual.

When changing out element, inspect housing o-ring for nicks

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

CONDITION POTENTIAL CAUSE RECOMMENDATION

Initial pressure
drop too high

Oil carryover Oil present in system before installing lter. Clean piping.

Short element
life

Filter undersized for ow rate. Install larger lter.

Filter grade too ne. Install coarser grade element.

Filter inlet smaller than pipe size. Install larger lter.

Excessive inlet oil >50ppm. Check compressor and/or gas/oil separator if compressor is rotary vane or screw type.

Filter installed backwards. Check ow direction (See page 1).

Filter bowl not being drained. Drain more frequently.

High differential pressure. Check differential pressure indicator, replace element if necessary.

Defective seal. Check o-ring in element.

Incorrect element grade. Use ner grade.

By-pass valve leaking or open. Close valve. Check seals on valve

Unltered gas entering from source down stream of
lter.

High operating temperatures. Install, clean, replace or relocate aftercooler, or relocate lter.

Cooling by refrigerated dryer. Install grade C lter downstream of dryer.

Excessive contamination. Install coarse particulate lter immediately upstream of existing lter.

High compression temperatures causing varnish/
carbon formation.

Oil/water emulsion overloading element. Inspect moisture separator. Remove water with better separation.

High viscosity oil or freeze-up due to low ambient
temperature.

Check lube rate if reciprocating compressor. Install coarse coalescer for preltration.

Relocate lter or install additional lter.

Use compression lubricant with good temperature stability. Lower lube rates where pos­sible. Use coarser grade lter element.

Raise ambient temperatures. Heat trace inlet piping and housing.
