The Filtration Principle of Coalescer Filter Element

2024-09-23 Share:

The filtration principle of the coalescer filter element is based on two main characteristics. Firstly, it utilizes the principle of surface tension, which describes the interactions between molecules at the interface between liquids and gases. Secondly, it utilizes gravity characteristics to determine the motion of droplets based on their respective densities.

In order to implement the agglomeration principle, the agglomeration filter element has a specific structure. It is composed of parallel media layers with different characteristics, including hydrophobic and oleophobic membranes, whose positions can promote coalescence. When the liquid flows through the filter element, the liquid and other impurity droplets suspended in the liquid flow through the medium layer and encounter hydrophobic and oleophobic sites. These sites repel liquids, causing them to combine and form larger droplets that can be easily removed by gravity.

In addition, hydrophobic and oleophobic media layers can also serve as barriers to water, preventing water from passing through and entering downstream systems. This process is very important because it ensures that downstream systems are free of oil and other impurities.

Please note:
 

Although coalescing filters have excellent water purification effects, there are still some precautions to be taken when using them. Firstly, the coalescing filter element should be replaced regularly according to the water quality to ensure maximum filtration efficiency.

Secondly, in order to prevent secondary pollution of the filter element, appropriate measures should be taken, such as using non solvent inorganic salt water for cleaning, to avoid residual chemical components inside the coalescing filter element.

In addition, it is necessary to regularly clean the filter element to prevent excessive accumulation of dirt and affect the filtration effect.
