Air Filters
Boston Gear's Air Filters are designed for general
applications in compressed air systems where
effective filtration and removal of solid water
particles and impurities are required. Order filters
with an automatic drain when the filter will be
installed in an inaccessible area and when large
quantities of water are present.Water vapor will
pass through these filters and could condense
into liquid form downstream as the air temperature
drops. An air dryer would be required if water
condensation could have a detrimental effect on
the application.
Oil Removal Filters
Boston Gear's oil removal (coalescing) filters are used in compressed air systems
to provide an extremely clean air supply virtually free of oil aerosols. Unwanted oil
is often introduced into compressed air systems by the lubricating oil in the air
compressor. Typical applications include paint spraying, pneumatic control instrumentation,
printing and paper separation and protection of air bearings and fluidic
instrumentation. Oil removal filters are supplied with an automatic drain and a service
life indicator as standard features. The service life indicator provides visual
indication of the condition of the filter element, eliminating the guesswork of when
to replace the element. The indicator shows green when new and as the pressure
differential across the element increases it will turn to red. To ensure that the filter
element provides a long service life, it is recommended that a standard air filter
with a 5 micron element is placed prior to the oil removal filter.
Regulators
Boston Gear's pressure regulators are used in
compressed air systems to reduce system pressure
to a level which can be used to efficiently
operate air tools and other air operated equipment.
These regulators maintain the reduced
pressure at a constant level despite the changes
in the inlet pressure and changes in downstream
flow requirements. All regulators are relieving
which allow the outlet pressure to be reduced
even though the system is dead-ended. Nonrelieving
models are available.
Lubricators
Boston Gear Lubricators are used in compressed air systems
to provide the proper amount of lubrication required for
downstream components. Two styles of lubricators are
available, the Standard and Micro-Lube. Each has its own
characteristics as described below.
