Principle of operation

Monnier air line filters are built to ensure solid and liquid

contaminants are removed from compressed air. All Monnier filters

are emgineered with the exclusive Whirl-Away design which

creates high centrifugal force with low pressure drop. The whirling

action forces all liquids and solids against the bowl wall causing

them to run down below the quiet-zone baffle where they can be

1

drained out. The air then flows through the elements where the

smaller particles are removed and the filtered air passes

downstream. The leak proof drain valve has an 'O' ring seal that

can be opened and closed without tools.

Safety information, installation and maintenance

For full details see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions

(IM-P504-12) supplied with the product.

Warning:

Polycarbonate bowls are attacked by phosphate ester fluids,

solvents, paint thinners and carbon tetrachloride. These and similar

substances should never be allowed to come into contact with the

bowl. Certain synthetic and standard compressor lubricating oils

also contain additives harmful to polycarbonate and, where there is

any doubt we recommend, in the interests of safety, that a metal

bowl or a bowl guard should be fitted.

Installation note:

Fit into a horizontal pipeline with the air flow in the direction of the

arrow and the bowl vertically downwards, as close as possible to

the equipment it is protecting.
