Filtration Group (Formerly MAHLE Industrial Filtration) Coalescer Filter
According to VDMA standard sheet 24568, the amount of water in HE pressure fluids has to be kept below 1000 ppm (0.1 %). HLP fluids should not contain any free water at all. Free water always causes turbidity which can be seen by the human eye. Physically, turbidity is a two-phase mixture (emulsion) in which small droplets of water are present in the pressure fluid. For this reason, it is advisable to carry out a mechanical separation of these water droplets; this technique is based on the coalescer - principle. The droplets are collected in various layers and brought together into larger units. The water drops thus formed are several milimetres in diameter.
Characteristics
- Mechanical separation of water droplets - coalescer principle
