Aluminum filter housings for air and gas filtration

Anodized aluminum sump and aluminum head

Aluminum filter housings

Aluminum filter housings

COGA (Contec gas and air filters) filter housings consist of an anodized aluminum sump and an aluminum head. The components are made of polyamide. They can be delivered with 1/8" and 1/4" connections and several drainage options.

The housings can be used in compressed air applications and for general filtration tasks.

Standard COGA housings have NPT connections and FKM seals. Other seals, such as those with BSPT and BSPP connections, are also available as an option.

FAQs

A filter housing essentially consists of the upper housing (head) and the lower housing (sump/cup), which together enclose the filter element. Between the head and the sump is a gasket, the material of which varies depending on the filter medium. The filter housing is equipped with connections (inlet/outlet), brackets, etc.

Filter housings offer a wide range of connection options, primarily as female threads in inch sizes ranging from 1/8 to 3". Typical connection types include inch threads (BSPP, BSPT, NPT).

Aluminum filter housings are significantly lighter and have better thermal conductivity than stainless steel filter housings. They are also more cost-effective to purchase.

Depending on the model, Contec PTFE and PE filter cartridges, stainless steel elements, disposable microfiber composite elements, and adsorbents can be used.

Filter housings essentially consist of a head and a sump. In Contec aluminum filter housings, the head and sump may be made of different materials. To clearly indicate the materials used at a glance, the first letter refers to the head material, and the second letter refers to the sump material. Thus, AA stands for an aluminum-aluminum combination, and AN for an aluminum-polyamide combination.

Due to the corrosion resistance of aluminum filter housings and their pressure resistance, they are ideally suited for use as particle and coalescing filters (oil separation) in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

A differential pressure indicator is used to find how “clogged” a filter element is. This allows you to determine when the filter element should be replaced to ensure the proper functioning of the system and to prevent costly downtime.

Drain valves on filter housings are used for controlled drainage, pressure relief, or condensate drainage. This allows the housing to be drained, for example, before a filter change, or for contaminants to be drained without having to interrupt the filtration process.

Depending on the application, drain valves range from simple manual valves to automatic systems. Common types include manual drain valves, automatic float-type drain valves, electronic solenoid valves, and pressure relief valves.
