The Next Generation of

Compressed Air Filtration
Energy costs continue to escalate globally, having a
negative impact on plant profitability and production
costs. Sustainability initiatives in plant operations must
be implemented to maintain a competitive advantage.

Air treatment manufacturers are challenged to design

equipment that is cost effective, delivers optimum
performance and consumes less energy. The Deltech's
300 Series Filters are the ideal solution to remove
contamination from compressed air systems and
save energy.

The 300 Series employs technological advancements

in filtration materials and design to ensure premium
compressed air quality and low operational costs.

Filters are tested and rated delivering certifiable

performance according to ISO 8573.1: 2010 air
quality standards.

Since 1946, the world has turned to SPX FLOW’s Deltech brand for the quality and service demanded by the most
critical of applications. Global leaders of industry require durable components that deliver unquestionable reliability.
Our precision engineered components and designs deliver outstanding service life and operational longevity.

Sustainable Energy Savings Solutions...
The development of sustainable energy savings
compressed air treatment solutions is the driving
principle behind Deltech's product designs. The 300
Series provides the perfect balance between high
performance filtration and low pressure drop. Patented
filter elements (US 7,618,480 B2) maintain low pressure
drop and long service life.

By minimizing resistance to flow, energy costs are

significantly reduced. The example demonstrates the
effect of pressure drop on operating costs.

Total System Protection

The 300 Series provides protection for the entire compressed air system. A wide range of filters exceeds customer
requirements for ISO Quality Class performance, service life and optimal energy savings.
Compressed air contamination exists in three states- solid, liquid and gaseous.
n Ingested contaminants appear in the form of water, hydrocarbons and particulates.
n The compression process introduces lubricant and wear particles into the system.
n Piping distribution and storage tanks foster contaminants in the form of rust, pipe scale and bacteria.

Capacity Correction Factors

300 Series flow capacities are rated per ISO 12500 conditions @ 101.5 psig (7 bar). To size the filter for non-standard
conditions, a correction factor must be applied. Table 1 provides correction factors for inlet air pressure.
Do not select filters by pipe size; use flow rate and operating pressure.

Table 1 - Correction Factors for Inlet Pressure

psi 20 30 40 60 80 100 120 150 200 250 300
Inlet Pressure

Correction Factor 0.30 0.39 0.48 0.65 0.82 1.00 1.17 1.43 1.87 2.31 2.74

Adjusted Flow Capacity

To calculate the flow capacity based on non-standard inlet conditions, multiply the filter’s rated flow capacity by the
corresponding inlet pressure correction factor.
High Efficiency Coalescing Filter: 304-H3-DP Rated capacity: 50 scfm (85 nm3/h)
Operating Conditions: 120 psig (8.3 bar) Adjusted Flow Capacity: 50 scfm x 1.17 = 59 scfm (100 nm3/h)
