High filtration efficiency is the prerequisite for high air quality, while a low pressure drop helps to save energy.
With this in mind, Atlas Copco's filtration competence team has invested in research and development to create its latest generation of DD+, PD+, DDp+ and PDp+ filters.
New micro-glass fibre filter media and a six-layer wrapped construction ensure a high purity filtration and a guaranteed performance over the filter lifetime.
Moreover, the performance is independent on the relative humidity. The perforated stainless steel metal cores were enhanced to ensure ultimate mechanical strength and drastically reduce the risk of implosion.
There are DD+ and PD+ filters for the filtration of oil aerosols and DDp+ and PDp+ filters for the filtration of solid particles.
Compared to the previous generation, the pressure drop of the new DD+ and PD+ filters has been reduced and at the same time the oil carry-over decreased by more than 20 per cent.
The new dust filters have extremely high particle removal efficiencies of 99.92 per cent (DDp+) and 99.98 per cent (PDp+).
The filter media specialist at Atlas Copco Airpower, Evi Bultinck, said the filters are now fully certified according to ISO standards.
"This third-party certification ensures our customers the air quality they require,”Bultinck said.
"On top of that, the new Atlas Copco filters bring a substantial energy saving.”
