SAFETY RULES
•The personnel carrying out the installation, commissioning, maintenance or repair of the unit must be properly
qualified for this type of work. In particular, the persons concerned should
Be trained and familiar with handling compressed- air systems and be informed about the associated
dangers.
For CLEARPOINT® filters equipped with a BEKOMAT® drain, the BEKOMAT® operating manual must
also be read, understood and respected.
Know the content of the relevant instructions for installation and operation, and
Possess vocational qualifications or entitlements in this particular field of work.
•Before the start of any work, the housing must first be depressurized.
•In the case the CLEARPOINT® filters with BEKOMAT® drains all the rules of the separated instructions need to be
complied with as well.
•To ensure safe functioning, only use the unit within the operational limits (operating pressure, operating
temperature, volumetric flow, and material stability).
•Where a BEKOMAT® is installed, it must be ensured the unit is designed for the stated volumetric flow of the
compressed air or gas. Condensate surges into the unit can impair the function.
•In the event of leaks, shut off the compressed air supply immediately and eliminate the cause in order to
maintain safe and cost-effective operation.

CLEARPOINT® Flanged L100-L304_us_en_2014-6 (rev. A) 6
•CLEARPOINT® filters, including accessories, must be checked once a week. This applies in particular to the
function of the drain. Please refer to page 10 check list.
AREAS OF APPLICATION
CLEARPOINT® filters are designed for the separation of solid particles, aerosols, oil vapors and orders from non-
aggressive compressed air or industrial gases. Depending on the specific application, the filter housings are provide with
different insert:
C Coarse filter for the separation of coarse solid matter pollutants up to 25 µm
G General Purpose filter element for the separation of large dirt particles up to 5 µm
F Fine filter element for the separation of liquids up to 0.1 mg/m3 and solid particles up to 1 µm
S Super fine filter element for the separation of liquids up to 0.01 mg/m3 and solid particles up to 0.01 µm
N Nano filter element for the separation of liquids up to 0.003 mg/m3 and solid particles up to 0.01 µm
A Activated carbon filter elements for the separation of oil vapors up to 0.003 mg/m3 and odors
R (x) Dust filter for the separation of solid particles, fineness depends of the grade. Refer to C to N above.
FUNCTION
Filter C, G, F, S, and R(X)
Solid particles are separated by impact and inertia effect, oil and water aerosols by coalescence effect. Due to gravity,
filtered out liquid particles gather in the lower part of the filter housing from where they are discharged either manually
or automatically. With coalescence filters the direction of flow through the filter elements is from the inside to the
outside; with dust filters the flow moves from outside to inside.
Activated carbon filter A
The flow through the activated carbon bed proceeds from the inside to outside. Oil vapors and odors are adsorbed on the
activated carbon. The carbon is incorporated into a binding fabric which ensures the reliable retention of dust particles.
ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF FILTERS
Surface and depth filters
Series C, G, F, S, and R(X)
In the course of time, particles accumulate in the filtration medium and reduce the space available for flow.
Consequently, the flow resistance will gradually increase, which is indicated on the differential pressure gauge.
It is recommended to replace the filter elements at a differential pressure of 10 psi or at least once a year, whichever
comes first. If the element replacement is delayed any longer, the economic efficiency will suffer since the higher
differential pressure has to be compensated by the by the upstream compressor. This will push up the electricity
consumption and lead to greater wear on the compressor.
Activated carbon filter, Series A
In order to prolong the service life of the elements, the residual moisture of the inflowing gas should not exceed 80%.
Elements will reach loading capacity after approximately 6 months, requiring replacement at that time.

CLEARPOINT® Flanged L100-L304_us_en_2014-6 (rev. A) 7
The nominal diameter of the pipes should be as uniform as possible in order to avoid creating additional flow resistance.
Reduced pipe sections should only be installed where required for partial-flow outlets (ring, connecting or supply lines).

INSTALLATION SITE
Serious consideration should be given when selecting the installation site for the filter, as an improper
location could directly affect the proper operation of the filter.
This unit is not suitable for use in explosive atmospheres, where risk of fire could exist, in the presence of
gaseous or solid pollutants or in outdoor applications or areas exposed to the elements.
Don’t use water to extinguish fire on or in the area surrounding filter installation.
Technicians that service the CLEARPOINT® Flange filter must wear hearing protection while servicing the
filter. Each employee must select a proper personal protection unit (PPD) for hearing protection such as
earmuffs, ear canal caps or earplugs in order to prevent permanent damage or loss of hearing
Minimum Installation Requirements:
Select a clean, dry room that is free of dust and protected from atmospheric disturbances.
Maximum operating pressure of 200 psig
Minimum operating temperature of +35 °F
Maximum operating temperature of +140 °F
Allow a clearance of at least 3’ on all sides of the filter in order easily facilitate all maintenance needs.
POSITIONING
The housing should be mounted in a vertical position. Observe the direction of flow which is indicated by an arrow on
page 8 of the dimensional drawing, note that this is the standard flow. All reverse flow units will flow from the outside
into the filters.
For replacing the filter elements, it is necessary to leave a handling space of 34 in above the filter.
INSTALLATION
For better filter efficiency, it is recommended to install the unit at a preferably cool, but frost-protected point along the
pipe network.
The separation rate and service life figures assume filtration using pre-filters of the next coarser grade (exception; coarse
filter series C).
Furthermore, it is recommended to install a shutoff valve both on the inlet and the outlet side of the filters or filter
combination. A bypass line with an additional shutoff valve should be installed so that the pipe network can still be
supplied with compressed air during routine maintenance work.

CLEARPOINT® Flanged L100-L304_us_en_2014-6 (rev. A) 10
Pre-filter, and depth filters are supplied with an electronically level-controlled condensate drain, type
BEKOMAT®, as standard. Please observe the instructions in the corresponding documentation.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE CONDENSATE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
The condensate collected in the filter contains oil particles released into the air stream by the compressor.
Dispose the condensate in compliance with all local, state and Federal rules and regulations. We highly
recommend the installation of either a QWIK-PURE® or ÖWAMAT® oil-water separator at the final collection
point for all condensate discharge lines within the facility (i.e. from the main header).
CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
To guarantee high operation and functional safety, regular checks are necessary. Any discovered defects must be
immediately reported to the competent department.
For an emergency, a possibility for the shut-off of the plant section must be provided.
