General description
2.1
Introduction
QMF filters The QMF filter is a general-purpose protection and liquid removal filter equipped with an electronic water drain. The filter element removes liquid water and oil, leaving a maximum remaining liquid content in the outgoing compressed air of 0.1 mg/m3 when the compressed air temperature is 68 ˚F (20 ˚C); the operating pressure is 100 psig (7 bar(e)) and the oil concentration at the inlet of the filter is below 3 mg/m3. The maximum inlet temperature is 150 ˚F (66 ˚C). QPF filters The QPF filter is a dust filter. The element traps the solid particles down to 1 micrometer for 100 %, down to 0.01 micrometer for 99.9 %. The maximum inlet temperature is 150 ˚F (66 ˚C). QCF filters The QCF filter is a high-efficiency dust, liquid and aerosol removal filter for compressed air and is standard equipped with an electronic water drain. The filter element traps the solid particles down to 0.01 micrometer. The oil/water aerosols liquefy and the so-formed drops collect and are removed by the automatic drain. The maximum remaining oil content in the outgoing compressed air is 0.01 mg/m3 at a compressed air temperature of 68 ˚F (20 ˚C), the operating pressure is 100 psig (7 bar(e)). The maximum inlet temperature is 150 ˚F (66 ˚C). QAF filters The QAF filter is an oil vapor and odor removal filter up to a remaining oil content of maximum 0.003 mg/ m3 at a compressed air temperature of 68 ˚F (20 ˚C) and an operating pressure of 100 psig (7 bar(e)). The air flows through the activated carbon, which is contained in the filter element. The maximum inlet temperature is 95 ˚F (35 ˚C). This filter does not remove methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide or other toxic gases and fumes.

Instruction Book
The condensate enters the Electronic Water Drain (EWD) via inlet (1) and accumulates in collector (6). A capacitive sensor (5) continuously measures the liquid level. A drain delay timer is started when the collector is filled up to a certain level. As soon as the delay time has expired, pilot valve (3) is activated and diaphragm (4) opens outlet (8), discharging the condensate. When the collector has been emptied, the outlet closes quickly without wasting compressed air. When the controller registers a malfunction, the red alarm LED on the control panel of the EWD starts flashing and the electronic drain valve will automatically change to the alarm mode, opening and closing the valve according to a sequence as shown above. This condition continues until the fault is remedied. If the fault is not remedied automatically, maintenance is required.

Installation
QMF filters Install a QMF filter in the compressed air system as a general-purpose filter. QMF filters are provided with a gauge indicating the pressure drop over the filter. An optional voltagefree switch which closes at a pressure drop of 6 psi (0.4 bar) is available. This switch can be used as warning. Maximum current is 0.5 A, maximum voltage 200 V. QPF filters If used with an adsorption type air dryer, install the filter downstream of the dryer. QPF filters are provided with a gauge indicating the pressure drop over the filter. An optional voltage-free switch which closes at a pressure drop of 6 psi (0.4 bar) is available. This switch can be used as warning. Maximum current is 0.5 A, maximum voltage 200 V. QCF filters The filter should be mounted as close as possible to the point of use of the air. It is recommended to install a QMF filter upstream of a QCF filter. QCF filters are provided with a gauge indicating the pressure drop over the filter. An optional voltagefree switch which closes at a pressure drop of 6 psi (0.4 bar) is available. This switch can be used as warning. Maximum current is 0.5 A, maximum voltage 200 V. QAF filters To protect the adsorption element, the QAF filter must always be preceded by a QCF filter. The filter should be mounted as close as possible to the point of use of the air. Take care not to exceed the maximum inlet temperature of the filter; see section Filter data. General • Be sure that the pipe work is internally clean, especially downstream of the filter. • If two or more filters are used in series, they can be bolted together directly without the use of spacers. It is recommended to install a QMF upstream of QCF. • The filter must be installed vertically, leaving sufficient space underneath for maintenance and service (see section Dimension drawing). • If the filter is integrated in a multiple line system, provide isolating valves and, if required, a by-pass. • The automatic drain outlet can be piped away. Take care not to create a flow resistance • When isolating valves are mounted before and after the filter, a safety valve should be installed in the system between the 2 valves. The size of the safety valve should be sufficient for the volume of air enclosed between the 2 isolating valves.

Instruction Book
For new installations as well as for installations that have to be made up to date, the ISO 8573-1 norm can be used. This describes several quality classes and, depending on these classes and applications, some proposals are given fulfilling this norm. This norm only concerns compressed air for general use and does not deal with, or is not applicable to, e.g. breathing air. Drain system QPF and QAF filters are standard equipped with a manual drain valve. Mechanical float drains and electronic water drains are available as an option. QMF and QCF filters are standard equipped with an electronic water drain (see section Electronic Water Drains).

Maintenance
4.1
Maintenance
Maintenance • On QMF /QCF filters, check at regular intervals that the automatic drain valve is operative. • On QPF/QAF filters, open the manual drain valve at regular intervals to evacuate collected dust or liquid. • On QMF/QPF/QCF filters, change the filter element every 4000 hours, yearly or when the pressure drop reaches approx. 5 psi (0.35 bar) (whatever comes first). Check the pressure drop of the filter at least once every two weeks. • On QAF filters, the change interval of the adsorption element is approx. 1000 operating hours or yearly; its pressure drop will not increase during its useful life. Nevertheless, the adsorption element must be changed earlier at the first signs of oil vapor and odor. If the temperature of the compressed air passing through the filter is higher than stated in the reference conditions, the filter lifetime will be reduced considerably.

Filter element change
Description 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Isolate the filter from the air net. Depressurize the filter. Remove all studs of the filter housing bottom cover, except the stud/bolt that is secured with pins. Use a recipient to collect the fluid that may have gathered at the filter housing bottom and tilt/turn the bottom cover around its stud/bolt. Unscrew and discard the filter element(s). Remove and discard the O-ring from between the filter element(s) and its seat. Clean the filter housing. Inspect the bottom cover for corrosion. The corrosion tolerance is mentioned in the Pressure equipment directives section. Use mounting tool 2903 0049 00* to screw the new filter element(s) and new O-ring(s) over the stud(s). Do not squeeze the filter material during mounting as this can diminish the lifetime of the filter element!
10. 11. 12. 13. 14.
Tighten the element(s) with a torque of approx. 25 Nm. Check and, if necessary, replace the gasket of the bottom cover. Rotate the bottom cover back into position. Mount and hand tighten all bolts. Tighten all bolts crosswise with the torque value listed in the table below.

General description
2.1
Introduction
QMF filters The QMF filter is a general-purpose protection and liquid removal filter equipped with an electronic water drain. The filter element removes liquid water and oil, leaving a maximum remaining liquid content in the outgoing compressed air of 0.1 mg/m3 when the compressed air temperature is 68 ˚F (20 ˚C); the operating pressure is 100 psig (7 bar(e)) and the oil concentration at the inlet of the filter is below 3 mg/m3. The maximum inlet temperature is 150 ˚F (66 ˚C). QPF filters The QPF filter is a dust filter. The element traps the solid particles down to 1 micrometer for 100 %, down to 0.01 micrometer for 99.9 %. The maximum inlet temperature is 150 ˚F (66 ˚C). QCF filters The QCF filter is a high-efficiency dust, liquid and aerosol removal filter for compressed air and is standard equipped with an electronic water drain. The filter element traps the solid particles down to 0.01 micrometer. The oil/water aerosols liquefy and the so-formed drops collect and are removed by the automatic drain. The maximum remaining oil content in the outgoing compressed air is 0.01 mg/m3 at a compressed air temperature of 68 ˚F (20 ˚C), the operating pressure is 100 psig (7 bar(e)). The maximum inlet temperature is 150 ˚F (66 ˚C). QAF filters The QAF filter is an oil vapor and odor removal filter up to a remaining oil content of maximum 0.003 mg/ m3 at a compressed air temperature of 68 ˚F (20 ˚C) and an operating pressure of 100 psig (7 bar(e)). The air flows through the activated carbon, which is contained in the filter element. The maximum inlet temperature is 95 ˚F (35 ˚C). This filter does not remove methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide or other toxic gases and fumes.

Instruction Book
The condensate enters the Electronic Water Drain (EWD) via inlet (1) and accumulates in collector (6). A capacitive sensor (5) continuously measures the liquid level. A drain delay timer is started when the collector is filled up to a certain level. As soon as the delay time has expired, pilot valve (3) is activated and diaphragm (4) opens outlet (8), discharging the condensate. When the collector has been emptied, the outlet closes quickly without wasting compressed air. When the controller registers a malfunction, the red alarm LED on the control panel of the EWD starts flashing and the electronic drain valve will automatically change to the alarm mode, opening and closing the valve according to a sequence as shown above. This condition continues until the fault is remedied. If the fault is not remedied automatically, maintenance is required.

Installation
QMF filters Install a QMF filter in the compressed air system as a general-purpose filter. QMF filters are provided with a gauge indicating the pressure drop over the filter. An optional voltagefree switch which closes at a pressure drop of 6 psi (0.4 bar) is available. This switch can be used as warning. Maximum current is 0.5 A, maximum voltage 200 V. QPF filters If used with an adsorption type air dryer, install the filter downstream of the dryer. QPF filters are provided with a gauge indicating the pressure drop over the filter. An optional voltage-free switch which closes at a pressure drop of 6 psi (0.4 bar) is available. This switch can be used as warning. Maximum current is 0.5 A, maximum voltage 200 V. QCF filters The filter should be mounted as close as possible to the point of use of the air. It is recommended to install a QMF filter upstream of a QCF filter. QCF filters are provided with a gauge indicating the pressure drop over the filter. An optional voltagefree switch which closes at a pressure drop of 6 psi (0.4 bar) is available. This switch can be used as warning. Maximum current is 0.5 A, maximum voltage 200 V. QAF filters To protect the adsorption element, the QAF filter must always be preceded by a QCF filter. The filter should be mounted as close as possible to the point of use of the air. Take care not to exceed the maximum inlet temperature of the filter; see section Filter data. General • Be sure that the pipe work is internally clean, especially downstream of the filter. • If two or more filters are used in series, they can be bolted together directly without the use of spacers. It is recommended to install a QMF upstream of QCF. • The filter must be installed vertically, leaving sufficient space underneath for maintenance and service (see section Dimension drawing). • If the filter is integrated in a multiple line system, provide isolating valves and, if required, a by-pass. • The automatic drain outlet can be piped away. Take care not to create a flow resistance • When isolating valves are mounted before and after the filter, a safety valve should be installed in the system between the 2 valves. The size of the safety valve should be sufficient for the volume of air enclosed between the 2 isolating valves.

Instruction Book
For new installations as well as for installations that have to be made up to date, the ISO 8573-1 norm can be used. This describes several quality classes and, depending on these classes and applications, some proposals are given fulfilling this norm. This norm only concerns compressed air for general use and does not deal with, or is not applicable to, e.g. breathing air. Drain system QPF and QAF filters are standard equipped with a manual drain valve. Mechanical float drains and electronic water drains are available as an option. QMF and QCF filters are standard equipped with an electronic water drain (see section Electronic Water Drains).

Maintenance
4.1
Maintenance
Maintenance • On QMF /QCF filters, check at regular intervals that the automatic drain valve is operative. • On QPF/QAF filters, open the manual drain valve at regular intervals to evacuate collected dust or liquid. • On QMF/QPF/QCF filters, change the filter element every 4000 hours, yearly or when the pressure drop reaches approx. 5 psi (0.35 bar) (whatever comes first). Check the pressure drop of the filter at least once every two weeks. • On QAF filters, the change interval of the adsorption element is approx. 1000 operating hours or yearly; its pressure drop will not increase during its useful life. Nevertheless, the adsorption element must be changed earlier at the first signs of oil vapor and odor. If the temperature of the compressed air passing through the filter is higher than stated in the reference conditions, the filter lifetime will be reduced considerably.
