    FC Series Gas Filters

    Operation
    Coalescing Filtration

    Orientation of the filter housing


    is critical for proper operation.
    The drain port must face down.

    Dry, filtered gas exits through top


    port and flows to process analyzer

    2
    1

    Gas stream enters


    side port and moves
    through filter element
    from inside to outside

    3
    4
    Particle Filtration

    Large drops are forced to outside of


    element by gas flow. Gravity forces the
    drops to fall away from the element

    Liquid exits out drain port

    Orientation of the filter is not


    critical for proper operation.

    Gas stream enters top port and


    moves through filter element from
    outside to inside

    Filtered gas exits


    side port and flows
    to the process
    analyzer

    Filter element captures fine


    liquid droplets suspended
    in the gas forcing them to
    coalesce (form large drops)
    within filter element

    Filter element captures any


    particulate suspended in gas.
    Only a small volume of gas
    passes through the element

    Most gas bypasses filter element,


    exits through bottom port, and
    returns to process line

    Cleaning and Packaging

    2 psi (0.13 bar) pressure differential

    All FC series filters are cleaned in


    accordance with Swagelok Standard
