The Tsunami Water Separator is a high-quality filtration product that removes dirt, particulate, and water from compressed air systems. It uses a unique up-flow gravity separation process to remove water droplets and aerosols from the air before being discharged through an automatic drain. The Tsunami Water Separator removes water, up to one quart per minute, and filters particulate down to 10 micron. HOW IT WORKS: 1: Air enters the filter & travels down a small diameter tube causing an increase in velocity. 2: The air reaches the bottom of the inner tube then is redirected 180 degrees up the outer tube allowing gravity and a slower velocity to capture bulk liquids. 3: Velocity increases again as air is forced through small orifice baffles before entering the stainless steel mesh element. 4: Centrifugal force is used to capture any remaining liquids before exiting the filter. 5: Liquids are automatically ejected through the drain. Features: Machined from 6061 aircraft aluminum, Automatic drains, Steel mesh element requires minimal servicing, Made in America Benefits: Point-of-use protection for air tools and pneumatic equipment, Removes bulk liquids and water, Filters particulate down to 10 micron at 99% efficiency
