Ingersoll filters offer lowest pressure drops

Radical design is the key to the new range of air filters from the Ingersoll-Rand Air Solutions stable. The filters offer proven filtration performance with the lowest pressure drop available for increased energy efficiency and filter lifetime.

Minimising the pressure drop experienced by the compressed air as it passes through a filter is a key requirement in compressed air applications, because a 0.5bar pressure drop equates to a 3% increase in consumed compressor power. Electricity consumption represents over 75% of the cost of compressed air.

The patented end cap is largely responsible for the low pressure drop across the new filters. The full laminar flow inlet design results in a reduction compared to conventional alternatives. The filter element is not retrofitable to any other housing on the market because of the end cap.

The oleophobic filter media also makes a contribution by repelling oil and water so much that it offers low resistance to the airflow and increases liquid drainage.
