CORRECTION FACTORS
To calculate the correct capacity of a given filter based on actual operating
conditions, multiply the nominal flow capacity by the appropriate correction
factor(s).

Safety instructions
The relevant safety at work and accident prevention regulations, plus operating instructions, shall apply
for operating the filter. The filter has been constructed in accordance with the generally recognized
rules of engineering. It complies with the requirements of directive 2014/68/EU concerning pressure
equipment.
Ensure that installation complies with local laws for operation and routine testing of pressure
equipment at the place of installation.
Operator/user of the filter should make himself familiar with the function, installation and start-up of
the unit. All the safety information is always intended to ensure your personal safety.
Do not exceed max. operating pressure or operating temperature range (see data label).
The permissible working temperatures and pressures for ad-on parts and filter elements
are given under Technical data for those ad-ons. Maximum temperature and pressure for
assembled system is the lowest of any individual part.
It is necessary to ensure that the unit is equipped with the corresponding safety and test
devices to prevent the permissible operating parameters from being exceeded.
Filter has been designed for a primarily static pressure. Rapid changes of pressure are not
allowed.
The medium used may not have any corrosive components that could attack the
materials of the filter in a way that is not permitted. Do not use the filter in hazardous
areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
All installation and maintenance work on the filter may only be carried out by trained and
experienced specialists.
It is forbidden to carry out any kind of work on the filter and piping, including welding and
constructional changes, etc.
A pressure gauge, which shows the operational pressure, must be installed in the unit,
respectively in the pipeline.
Depressurize the system before carrying out the installation work. The unit must be
installed vertically in the piping.
Ensure that filter is installed without any stresses.
Use original spare parts only.
Use the device for appropriate purpose only.
There shouldn’t be any tension between filter and installation. Filter shouldn’t be subject
to any stress, vibration or other influence that could cause damage to the unit.

Appropriate use
WFIf series filters are intended for applications in process industry, where the risk for
corrosion of compressed air system components is very high. This appliance must be used
only for the purpose for which it was specifically designed. All other uses are to be
considered incorrect.
Specifically:
filter is not intended for human breathing without proper additional equipment.
Warning: internal corrosion can seriously reduce the safety of installation: check it during changing the
cartridge.
The manufacturer will under no circumstances be responsible for any damage resulting from improper,
incorrect or unreasonable use.
Use genuine spare parts only. Any damage or malfunction caused by the use of ungenuine parts is not
covered by Warranty or Product Liability.

For bulk water vapour cyclonic separator must be installed. Flow direction outside-in must be provided
as shown in the picture. General arrangement is filter head on top and filter bowl on bottom.
Maintenance
Filter elements are subject to wear. In order to maintain system efficiency, optimal performance and
best air quality, these rules of proper maintenance should be followed:
PI, PN25 and PN5 filter element can be cleaned with ultrasonic bath or with back flushing.
Intervals of cleaning depend on application. If necessary replace filter element with new one.
Replace PP, PR, PM, PS filter at least element every 12 months or when pressure drop reaches
350 [mbar].
Replace PA filter element at least every 6 months.
The housing O-ring can be damaged during filter element change. To prevent air leakage and
malfunction replace housing O-ring if necessary. For replacement contact manufacturer.
Damaged components are to be replaced by new ones. If a marked degree of damage is found,
the entire filter is to be replaced.
Filter has been designed for a life of 10 years in normal operating environment. After 10 years
periodical checks of filter integrity are strongly recommended for safe operation.
Carry out a check for leaks once the maintenance work has been finished.

Warranty exclusion
The guarantee shall be void if:
The operating instructions were not followed with respect to initial commissioning and
maintenance.
The unit was not operated properly and appropriately.
The unit was operated when it was clearly defective.
Non-original spare parts or replacement parts were used.
The unit was not operated within the permissible technical parameters.
Unauthorised constructional changes were made to the unit or if parts of the unit that may not
be opened were dismantled.
