DD(+) and PD(+) filters efficiently reduce oil aerosol, wet dust and water drops in your compressed air stream. These could come from the lubrication of the compressor element, the intake air, and the compressor installation itself. These innovative filtration solutions are engineered to cost-effectively provide the best air purity and meet today’s increasing quality demands.
Your Benefits
Maximum oil aerosol, wet dust and water droplet filtration and drainage High-efficient glass fiber and foam media.
Significant energy savings & limited system operating costs Optimal design and filter media allow low pressure losses.
High reliability High-performance stainless steel cores, double O-rings, epoxy sealed caps, and anti-corrosive coated filter housing.
Easy maintenance External ribs on the threaded housing, or a rotating bottom cover for the welded housings, and push-on elements.
Monitoring of energy use Differential pressure indication (indicator for sizes 10-35 l/s, gauge for sizes 50-8000 l/s) (optional for standard range).
Certified Performance
Atlas Copco filters are qualified according to the ISO 8573-1:2010 standard. This is the latest edition of the standard. Beware of filters that comply with earlier editions, such as ISO 8573-1:1991 or ISO 8573-1:2001. The difference is inferior quality of the delivered compressed air. This qualification is a result of our filters being tested according to ISO 12500-1:2007, ISO 12500-2:2007, and ISO 12500-3:2009. These specify the test layout, test procedures and inlet conditions required for testing coalescing filters, vapor filters, and solid particle filters used in compressed air systems, to determine their effectiveness in removing oil aerosol, oil vapor and solid particles. The measurements of the air purity downstream the filter for each specific contaminant have been performed according to the test methods described in respectively ISO 8573-2:2007, ISO 8573-5:2001 and ISO 8573-4:2001. Tests have been conducted in-house as well as in external labs, and are independently validated by TÜV. ISO
A Solution For Every Application
At different points of use, different compressed air purities might be needed, depending on the application. The various air purity classes are provided in the table below, which clearly shows the various Atlas Copco filters and dryers that meet all the different classes.
