|Air Preparation Filters

Are ID□ series air dryers or AMG series water separators better for removing moisture from compressed air?

What is the size selection method for AMG series water separators?

Is there a new and old version of the AMG series water separator? If so, is the replacement element interchangeable between the 2 types?

What is the difference between the N.O. (normally open) and N.C. (normally closed) float type auto drain options of the AMG series water separator?

How is the accumulated drainage discharged from AMG series water separators?

When installing an AMG series water separator and an AFF series main line filter at the same time, in what order should they be installed?

The new AFF-D series main line filter’s nominal filtration rating is higher than that of the existing AFF series filter (increased from 3 μm to 1 μm). And the AM-D series’ nominal filtration rating is higher than that of the existing series (increased from 0.3 μm to 0.1 μm). Does this increase the amount of pressure loss?

Is the auto drain of new AFF-D series main line filters replaceable?

Is it possible to order elements or other replacement parts for first-generation AFF, AM, and AMD series products?
Also, are the new and old elements interchangeable? (First-generation models: AFF6, AFF22, AFF37, AFF55, AM200, AM300, AM400, AM500, AM600, AMD100, AMD200, AMD300, AMD400, AMD500, and AMD600)

Are the early stage and later stage second-generation AFF, AM, and AMD series products interchangeable? And are the new and old elements interchangeable? (Early stage second-generation models: AFF2B to 22B, AM150 to 550, and AMD150 to 550 – Later stage second-generation models: AFF2C to 22C, AM150C to 550C, and AMD150C to 550C)

Is it possible to replace only the case assembly of an early stage second-generation AFF, AM, or AMD series product?
Also, can a later stage second-generation case assembly be mounted on an early stage second-generation AFF, AM, or AMD series product? (Early stage second-generation models: AFF2B to 22B, AM150 to 550, and AMD150 to 550 – Later stage second-generation models: AFF2C to 22C, AM150C to 550C, and AMD150C to 550C)

Is it possible to order only the element service indicator (option “T”) for an AFF, AM, AMD, or AMH series filter?

What is the element service indicator (option “T”) selectable for AFF, AM, AMD, and AMH series filters?
How does it work? And can it be replaced for maintenance like the element?

Is there an oil-free specification for AFF, AM, AMD, AME, or AMF series air preparation equipment?

What is the pneumatic equipment required to clean the compressed air of an air compressor?

What is the proper installation order for the various air preparation filters (AFF, AM, AMD, and AME series)?

How is drain discharged from AFF, AM, AMD, AMH, and AMG series filters?

What type of piping should be used for the drain port of AFF, AM, AMD, AMH, and AMG series filters (up to AFF37B and up to AM□650)?

When should the elements of AFF, AM, AMD, AMH, AME, and AMF series filters be replaced?

What is the order number for AFF, AM, AMD, AMH, AME, AMF, and AMG series filter replacement elements?

What is the filtering effectiveness of the various AFF and AM□ series products? Also, is there a single-unit filter that can remove water, dust, and oils from compressed air?

Are there brackets for connecting 2 or more AFF, AM, AMD, AMH, AME, or AMF series devices?

What are the possible causes for constant air leakage from the drain port of AFF, AM, AMD, AMH, and AMG series filters? Also, are there are preventive measures that can be taken?

Can ZFC series in-line air filters be used for bidirectional flow such as on vacuum adsorption and release lines?

When ZFC series in-line air filters become clogged, is it possible to replace the element?

The nominal filtration rating of the standard ZFC series in-line air filter is 5 μm. However, if the special order part number suffix “-X04” is used to change the nominal filtration rating to 10 μm, will the flow rate increase? (What are the flow rate characteristics of the 10 μm option?)
