Graver Technologies designs and produces superior OEM and Replacement air and gas filtration elements for rotating equipment, including vacuum pumps, turbines, and compressors.
Filtration plays a key role in maintaining your equipment’s reliable and efficient performance while protecting your downstream processes. Poorly designed filter elements put your centrifugal blowers and other rotational equipment intake fans at risk of overheating or potentially requiring increased energy usage. Intake filters clean the air entering a compressor to ensure dust, water vapor, and other particulates don't enter the system, which can result in a reduced lifespan for the pneumatic tools. Whether your system requires a direct replacement for the current element, or an OEM design involving an innovative custom solution, Graver Technologies has a long history of delivering engineered filtration performance and quality for some of the most demanding air and gas purification applications.
How often should gas turbine filters be replaced?
This depends on the environment and filter type; however, pre-filters are changed every 3–6 months, while final filters may bechanged once in a year or two. Monitoring pressure drop is key to determiningreplacement timing.
What factors affect the operating life of a gas turbine filter?
Here are some factors:
How do I know when a filter needs to be changed?
Differential pressure across the filter is animportant aspect in this case. If it increases beyond the set threshold, thefilter may be clogged or need cleaning or replacement.
What is pressure drop and why does it matter?
Pressure drop is the resistance to airflow through afilter. A high-pressure drop reduces turbine efficiency and increases energycosts. Selecting low-resistance filters helps improve performance.
