DONALDSON STEAM FILTRATION SYSTEM

Water is one of the most concerning impurities that need to be removed in many technological processes. Steam not only affects the initial aesthetics but also leads to clogging and equipment damage over time. Therefore, let’s explore Donaldson’s steam filtration with Tesfa in this article!

Donaldson steam filtration products are high-quality solutions widely used across various industries such as manufacturing, mining, healthcare, military, automotive, construction, maritime and agriculture. These filters help improve steam quality, ensuring longer lifespan and higher efficiency of processes.

Ensuring longer lifespan and higher efficiency of processes

The steam filtration system typically consists of two main parts: the steam filter housing and the steam filter element.
Steam Filter Housings:
Donaldson’s steam filter housings are usually made of high-quality stainless steel, ensuring safety for industrial and food steam filtration while providing low differential pressure at high flow rates. Donaldson housings come with NPT threaded or flanged connections that can be adjusted to specific process requirements. Additionally, the filter housings feature electropolished or bead-blasted surfaces for easy cleaning and high corrosion resistance.
Steam Filter Elements:
Donaldson offers high-performance steam filter elements to protect equipment and processes that rely on steam, ensuring efficient, clean, and sterile operation. Donaldson steam filters are divided into two main lines:

• • LifeTec™ filter elements: Donaldson’s premium filter line designed for high-performance filtration solutions and effective steam removal, commonly found in elements like the LifeTec™ P-GSL N.
  • LifeTec filter elements: This product line caters to pre-filtration, fine filtration, and sterile filtration, providing advanced technology to optimize processes and ensure product integrity.
  • Accessories: Donaldson also provides a variety of steam accessories to enhance overall process performance, such as insulation jackets, drain ports, and more

Applications of Steam Filtration Systems in Industry

• • Equipment protection: Steam can cause various issues for compressed air equipment and boilers, such as water condensation leading to rusting of metal parts.
  • Product quality improvement: In some production lines, steam can affect product quality, such as food products that use steam for cooking or the painting industry.
  • Energy savings: Steam filtration removes steam from compressed air, reducing the amount of compressed air needed to operate equipment since dry air is more efficient than most air.
  • Safety improvement: Donaldson equipment helps reduce the risk of equipment damage, thus minimizing hazards for users.
    

Donaldson‘s steam filtration system is one of the leading solutions designed to remove steam and other impurities from compressed air and boiler systems, helping to protect and improve the productivity of your equipment.
