Wilkerson M00 - Manual (Page 2)

INSTALLATION
1. Refer to the warning on front page.
2. Purge downstream air line of oil.
3. Install as close as possible to point where air is being
used.
4. Install the unit with the air flowing through the body in the
direction indicated by arrow on body.
5. Maximum inlet pressure and operating temperature ratings
are: transparent plastic bowls, 150 psig (10,3 bar) and 125°F
(51,7°C); metal bowl
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
A. PREFILTER-It is recommended that a 5-micron-rated prefilter,
be installed upstream from the coalescer filter to prolong ele-
ment life.
B. AIR DRYER-(Refrigerated or Desiccant) An air dryer is gen-
erally preferred to optimum results, but is optional.
C. OIL VAPOR FILTER- The Type D element is an adsorption
type for removing oil vapors, oil-associated odors, whether
petroleum base or synthetic base. Element service life is
approximately 1200 hours.
D. DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE-Maximum recommend-
ed pressure drop across coalescer filters is 10 psi (0,7 bar).
This can be monitored by installing a differential pressure
gauge.
E. VALVE-Do not use a valve or shutoff device in conjunction
with a coalescer filter that will allow a momentary or surge
pressure drop greater than 50 psi (3,4 bar). To avoid high
surges which can either ruin the element or momentarily allow
downstream contamination, use a slow-opening type valve.
MAINTENANCE
1. The element operates effectively when it is saturated. The ele-
ment's useful life will end only when the resistance to flow
becomes too high and the maximum permissible pressure is
reached. The element cannot be cleaned or reused and must
be replaced at the end of its useful life.
2. Drain the unit at least once per shift.
3. When bowl becomes dirty replace the bowl or clean by wiping
with a clean, dry cloth.
4. Before placing the unit in service, make sure that the bowl and
bowl guard are securely locked in place.
