AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

There is a need for a coalescing filter element that can provide high throughput without excessive pressure drop, maintain system reliability, and allow for easy and swift component interchange in environments with high throughput and sensitive processes, while minimizing maintenance interruptions.

Method used

A coalescing filter element with a collar anti-rotation element that engages an annular holder to prevent rotation and vibration, featuring a specific length-to-diameter ratio (L/D) between 3.0 and 6.0, which includes a filter medium for coalescing particles and a collar to maintain shape and engage with the mounting assembly.

Benefits of technology

The solution enhances filter element lifetime, reduces maldistribution, and improves separation efficiency by preventing rotation and vibration, ensuring reliable operation and easy interchangeability.
