Does the AC activated carbon compressed air filter, without end connections, SYNTESIÂ® series require a pre-filter to achieve the stated 0.003 mg/mÂ³ oil residue and 4000-hour lifespan?

No . the AC activated carbon compressed air filter, without end connections, SYNTESIÂ® series can achieve the stated 0.003 mg/mÂ³ oil residue and 4000âhour lifespan as specified, but those performance figures are given with the note that efficiency and element lifespan can be increased by preceding the unit with a fine filter (0.01 Âµm) and a preâfilter (5 Âµm). In other words, the stated oil residue (0.003 mg/mÂ³, ISO 8573â1 class 1â7â1) and 4000 h life are provided for the cartridge under its specified conditions (pressure drop not exceeding 75 mbar); adding the recommended preâfilter and fine filter will improve contaminant removal and extend service life, but they are not strictly required to meet the published baseline figures.

Can the AC activated carbon compressed air filter, without end connections, SYNTESIÂ® series handle variable flow rates without reducing oil adsorption?

AC activated carbon compressed air filter, without end connections, SYNTESIÂ® series can handle variable flow rates within its recommended range (SY1: ~350 l/min, SY2: ~800 l/min at 6.3 bar) without reducing oil adsorption, provided operating conditions are respected. The activated carbon granulate adsorbs oil residues effectively as long as air velocity and contact time remain within design limits. Exceeding the recommended flow for a given size will shorten contact time, increase pressure drop, and reduce adsorption efficiency and element life. To maximize performance under variable flow: - Keep flow within rated recommendations for SY1 and SY2. - Maintain supply pressure and temperature within specified limits (SY1 up to 15 bar, SY2 up to 13 bar; -10Â°C to +50Â°C). - Install upstream pre-filtration (5 Âµm) and fine filtration (0.01 Âµm) to protect and extend element life and preserve adsorption capacity. - Monitor pressure drop (should not exceed 75 mbar) and replace the element around the specified lifespan (~4000 hours) or earlier if pressure drop rises. Under these conditions, the SYNTESIÂ® series will maintain oil adsorption performance across typical variable flow scenarios; sustained or frequent operation above rated flows will degrade performance.

Maximum operating temperature [°C]	50
Minimum operating temperature [°C]	-10

AC series SYNTESI® activated carbon filter, without end connections, is used for purifying compressed air from oil residues, solvents, and odors. Purification occurs as air flows through the porous granulate of activated carbon with high pollutant absorption. This is the most effective air purification method used in industrial pneumatic installations. The efficiency and lifespan of the filter element can be increased by preceding it with a fine filter (0.01µm) and a pre-filter (5µm). Size: SY1, SY2. Oil residue at 20°C: 0.003 mg/m³ – air purity class according to ISO 8573-1: 1-7-1 (with a pressure drop not exceeding 75 mbar). Filter element lifespan: 4000 hours (with a pressure drop not exceeding 75 mbar). Supply pressure: up to 15 bar – size SY1, up to 13 bar – size SY2. Operating temperature: from -10°C to +50°C. Condensate drain: manual / semi-automatic (RMSA). Recommended flow: 350 l/min – size SY1, 800 l/min – size SY2 (at a pressure of 6.3 bar).
