P-VACP vacuum pre-filters for liquid and larger particles

P-VACP vacuum pre-filters have a 3 µm element. They trap liquid and larger solid particles from the air drawn in by the vacuum pump and protect both the pump and the finer element after them.
The range has 17 sizes with a G 1/8" to 3" thread and a flow of 1.25 to 345 Nm³/h at atmospheric pressure, and works at an absolute pressure of 20 to 2,000 mbar and a temperature of +1.5 to +65 °C. It is part of the P-VAC vacuum filter range.

Dimensions and space for element replacement

Leave free space D below the filter: the filter bowl is removed downwards when the element is replaced. The filter is supplied with an element, without a drain.
Flow under vacuum
The flows apply at atmospheric pressure. When selecting, multiply the system flow by the factor C2 for the absolute pressure in the pipeline and choose a size with at least that flow.
| Flow correction by the vacuum level in the pipeline | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Absolute pressure | Vacuum relative to atmosphere | Actual filter flow (× C1) | System flow for selection (× C2) |
| 1,000 mbar | 0 mbar | 1 | 1 |
| 900 mbar | 100 mbar | 0.9 | 1.1 |
| 800 mbar | 200 mbar | 0.8 | 1.25 |

| 400 mbar | 600 mbar | 0.4 | 2.5 |
| 300 mbar | 700 mbar | 0.3 | 3.33 |
| 200 mbar | 800 mbar | 0.2 | 5 |

| 20 mbar | 980 mbar | 0.02 | 50 |
Fine pre-filter after the pre-filter
For very fine contaminants, add a P-VACM fine pre-filter with a 0.1 µm element after the pre-filter. In a given size, both elements fit the same housing.
Element replacement
A VPG 40 differential pressure gauge on the filter head shows when to replace the element.
Ventilek’s tip
Choose the filter by the flow at the actual vacuum level. At 500 mbar absolute pressure, the filter passes half of its nominal flow.
