Two main structures of air compressor filter element

The two main structures of the air compressor filter are the three-claw design and the straight-flow paper filter. The two structures differ in design, ease of installation, use of materials, and product advantages.

Three claw design

Features: The filter element adopts three-claw design, which makes the installation very convenient.

Structure: The top is open, the bottom is sealed, the galvanized rust-proof metal structure is used, and the sealing ring can be fluorine rubber or butyl rubber.

Advantages: This design is not only easy to install, but also has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent impurities in the air from entering the inside of the air compressor and protect the normal operation of the air compressor ‌.

Direct-flow paper filter

Features: paper filter element air filter is widely used in trucks, the filter element made of resin-treated microporous filter paper is installed in the air filter shell. The upper and lower surfaces of the filter element are sealed surfaces, and the filter paper is pleated to increase the filter area and reduce the resistance of the filter element.

Structure: The outside of the filter element is a porous metal mesh, which is used to protect the filter element from breaking the filter paper during transportation and storage. Heat resistant plastic sol is poured on the upper and lower end of the filter element to keep the position of the filter paper, metal mesh and sealing surface fixed between each other, and maintain the seal between them.

Advantages: The paper filter element air filter has the advantages of light weight, low cost and good filtration effect. It can be used repeatedly and is suitable for air filtration under various working conditions ‌

direct-flow paper filter

The two structures have their own advantages, with the three-claw design focusing more on ease of installation and sealing performance, while the direct-flow paper filter is more focused on lightweight, low-cost and efficient filtration. The choice of structure depends on the specific application requirements and working environment conditions.
