Untreated
compressed air from the compressor’s aftercooler
enters at the bottom of the TRIPLEX / Jumbo-TRIPLEX filter
housing. |
| |
|
| 2. |
The
compressed air enters inside the filter housing in a manner
that creates a centrifugal action that removes the residual
air and oil particles. The resulting condensate collects
at the bottom of the filter housing. The condensate must
be drained manually at regular intervals. |
| |
|
| 3. |
The
compressed air, having had the condensed water and oil
particles effectively separated from the compressed air,
enters into the air processing cartridge where it passes
through a microfilter to remove even the tiniest of solid
contaminates from the compressed air. |
| |
|
| 4. |
A
special drying agent removes water vapor from the compressed
air. |
| |
|
| 5. |
Activated
carbon removes oil vapor from the compressed air. Some
cartridges also include a catalyst that converts carbon
monoxide to breathable levels of carbon dioxide. Cartridges
with catalyst must be used on engine driven units. |
| |
|
| 6. |
A
pressure maintaining valve is built into the bottom of
the assembly to create a backpressure to improve the efficiency
of the separator and cartridge, ensuring that effective
air treatment begins immediately with the starting of
the compressor. Clean, dry air exits the assembly via
the outlet port and is ready for use to fill storage tanks
or marker tanks. |

|
| 7. |
A
safety valve protects the assembly from overpressure.
The safety valve is factory
set.
