Suction Line Filters

Suction Line Filters

A heavy duty suction line filter is recommended for every field installation. The filter will effectively remove contaminants from the system at the time of installation,  and serves to keep the compressor free of impurities during aperation. In the event of a motor burn, the filter will prevent contamination from spreading into the system through the suction line.

The suction line filter should be selected for a reasonable pressure drop, and should be equiped with a pressure ditting just ahead of the filter, preferably in the shell,  to facilitate checking pressure drop across the filter during operation.
