Oil Mist Filter Harvest Right Freeze Dryer Vacuum Pump, KF25 Vacuum Pump Exhaust Oil Mist Filter, 95% Filtration, for Vacuum Pumps with A Pumping Speed Of Less Than 2.2gal/S, Freeze Dryer Accessories

Vacuum pump oil mist filter, also known as acuum pump exhaust oil mist filter or oil mist eliminators, are essential for protecting vacuum pumps and the environment from contamination. These filters capture oil mist, particulates, and even vapors that can be released from the pump's exhaust.

Why are they needed?

Protecting the pump:
Oil mist and other contaminants can damage vacuum pump components over time, leading to reduced performance
and premature failure

Maintaining clean air:
Oil mist and other contaminants can also pollute the surrounding environment, especially in laboratory settings

Ensuring accurate measurements:
In scientific applications, any contamination can compromise the accuracy of experiments.

Types of vacuum pump stain filters:
Oil mist eliminators:
These filters trap oil mist and other particulate matter before it escapes the pump's exhaust

Carbon filters:
These filters absorb volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, further purifying the exhaust air, notes Scientific Instrument Services.

Vapor condensing traps:
These filters are used to condense vapors back into liquids, preventing them from being released into the environment

How they work:

Particulate filtration:
High-efficiency media filters (HEPA, ULPA, PTFE) remove particles as small as 1 micron

Liquid separation:
Liquid and multi-stage separators use a series of baffles and separators to separate liquids and larger particles

Vapor condensation:
Vapor condensing traps use a cold surface to condense vapors back into a liquid state

Maintenance:

Filters need to be regularly replaced or cleaned, depending on the type and usage

Some filters have an automatic draining system to manage accumulated liquids
