Element Design and Construction

The AGS Series of coalescing filters offers the use of a unique high efficiency media. The element is constructed of multiple layer pleated fiberglass which is supported on a carbon steel core. The elements are available with stainless steel internals for more corrosive applications. The drainage of coalesced liquids and protection from re-entrainment is provided by a polyester foam outer wrap. The pleated design fiberglass element has extended surface area that leads to high dirt loading and log efficient service life.

The coalescing action is a gathering of minute liquid particles or smaller droplets to form larger droplets. The small droplets that enter the inside of the element are intercepted or impinged against the filter media and are extracted from the gas stream. The larger droplets once formed, drain off the outside of the element and fall by gravity to the sump area in the filter housing where a drain connection is provided for removing the coalesced liquid. The high efficiency element prevents re- entrainment of the liquid downstream. The coalescing action continues at the same rate that new liquid enters the element, allowing long service life before element replacement is required.

The cartridge is designed with an inside diameter that is approximately the same dimension as the inlet and outlet. This unique design allows for a smooth transition of the flow through the housings and elements. The net result is a low pressure drop.

Element Materials

The pleated radial fin fiberglass element offers excellent chemical compatibility. The end caps are plated carbons steel with an 0-ring seal. The standard cartridge can be used in service up to 200° F. Optional materials permit temperatures to 400° F.

Housing Design

Housings are designed and constructed in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division I requirements for unfired pressure vessels. Models AGS-115 and larger are furnished with 1/4” NPT gauge connections on the inlet/outlet nozzles. AGS Models 160 thru 190 are equipped with three support legs. All models have a large sump areas for the collection of liquids. Standard filter housings are of carbon steel construction and my be modified to meet special application needs. The housings are also available in 304 and 316 stainless materials. High pressure designs up to 6000 PSIG are also available.
