Kaeser ACT-series activated carbon filters reliably remove oil vapours and odours. Installed downstream of compressed air drying and pre-filtration components, they attain Class 1 residual oil content as per ISO 8573-1, thereby protecting sensitive production processes.
Generous fill levels of high-quality activated carbon and their enduring low pressure loss make them a highly cost-effective choice: they can last 12,000 hours of compressor operation without replacement of the activated carbon. An oil indicator fitted as standard indicates any operational disruptions.
* Residual oil content within the concentration range 0 – 0.01 mg/m³
* Flow rate 1.17 – 154.5 m³/min
* Max. working pressure 10 bar / 16 bar and optionally, 48 bar
Significantly lower values than required by Class 1:
Class 1 as per ISO 8573-1 is achieved with residual oil content as high as 0.01 mg/m³, yet Kaeser ACT desiccant dryers can deliver significantly lower residual oil content. This means consistently reliable compliance with limit values.
Low maintenance costs:
Kaeser ACT adsorbers have very long replacement intervals thanks to their generous dimensions and optimal flow dynamics through the highly effective activated carbon. They’re also mounted in a protective and durable steel frame.
Standard equipment
* Adsorption material tank including activated carbon filling, upper/lower stainless steel flow diffusers and separate upper/lower filling and emptying connections;
* equipped with tank pressure gauge and pressure regulator with oil indicator (option for 48 bar operating pressure)
* pre-installed compressed air intake and discharge line;
* stable base frame, 2-component wet paint coating.
Options
* Silicone-free version to VW test standard PV 3.10.7
* Working pressure 16 bar for models ACT 169 – 1545
* Working pressure 48 bar for models ACT 12 – 1545 HP
Assumptions:
Costs for investment, service (materials, labour and disposal), with the following replacement intervals: ACT activated carbon filling 12,000 operating hours (OH), particulate filter 6,000 OH, activated carbon filter 1,000 OH; annual debt service over 10 years.
Low life-cycle costs
When it comes to continuous compressed air demand, Kaeser ACT activated carbon adsorbers are hands-down winners from a cost perspective compared to typical activated carbon filters. Thanks to significantly longer service intervals, their life-cycle costs in the third year can equal those of high quality activated carbon filters.
In the following years they are by far the more cost-effective alternative. This advantage is further bolstered by better compressed air availability resulting from the lower number of necessary service visits.
