How to choose the right pressure-reducing valve?

When selecting a pressure reducing valve, apart from the supply pressure and operating temperature, it is necessary to take into account the required flow rate which is related to the size of a connection. Whereas the control range should be matched to the required operating pressure (a pressure reducing valve maintains the set value more [...]

What is a filtration level and how is it described?

Depending on the application, compressed air filters are equipped with filter elements of different gradations. A filtration level, expressed in micrometres (Āµm), determines the size of particles above which the particles are retained by the filter. The most common levels of filtration: Pre-filtration (coarse) - 5Āµm or 20Āµm filter element Fine filtration - 0.01 Āµm [...]

When should a filter element be replaced?

The condition of a filter element should be verified based on the quality of the compressed air. The contaminated (dirty) filter element can cause pressure, flow and performance drop. The filter element should be replaced every six months according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure the correct operation of the pneumatic system.

What does FRL stand for?

The abbreviation FRL stands for a compressed air preparation unit consisting of: F ā€“ filter ā€“ removes contaminating particles and moisture (condensate) from a compressed air system; R ā€“ regulator ā€“ reduces and maintains pressure at a required level; L ā€“ lubricator ā€“ injects a lubricant (oil) into an application that requires lubrication.
