IHP4S stainless high-pressure microfilters up to 420 bar

The IHP4S microfilter is the finest mechanical stage of the range. The borosilicate microfibre element traps particles larger than 0.01 µm and removes oil down to a residual content below 0.01 mg/m³ — class 1-x-1 according to ISO 8573-1.
The IHP4S filter comes in 8 sizes with G 1/4" to G 2" threads and flows of 667 to 11,917 l/min at 7 bar; working pressure up to 420 bar. It is one of the stages of the IHP4 stainless steel filters — the housing is the same for all stages, only the element differs.
IHP4S filters by size
The size determines the thread and the flow. Each size has its own spare element.

The flows apply to a pressure of 7 bar and a temperature of +20 °C. Dimensions and weights according to the manufacturer; you will find further data on the product page of each filter.

When to use it
The microfilter S suits all applications where the air must be very clean of particles and oil. It is also the mandatory stage before activated carbon A — only with it does its solid particle class 1 apply.
The fine pre-filter M, which traps particles and oil down to 0.1 µm, goes before the microfilter S — the microfilter element then lasts longer.
Where to place it

After the IHP4M fine pre-filter, before the IHP4A activated carbon filter.
Flow by pressure
The catalogue flows apply to a pressure of 7 bar and a temperature of +20 °C. At a higher pressure the filter passes more air: from 100 bar, 12 times as much as at 7 bar.

Element, drain and maintenance

The housing holds a single element, a different one for each size — for example IHPS-007V for the IHP4S-007. The same element also fits IHPS filters for a different pressure. Working temperature +1.5 to +65 °C.
The filter is supplied without a condensate drain. The TD420M timed drain up to 420 bar is suitable; it is connected to the G 1/4" opening in the bottom.
Replace the element at a pressure drop of 350 mbar, at least once every 12 months.
Accessories for IHP4S filters
The same stage for a different pressure
Stage S also comes in the IHP1S filters up to 100 bar and IHP2S filters up to 250 bar; in the nickel-plated carbon steel version, there are the CHP4S filters.
Ventilek’s tip
A microfilter needs a fine pre-filter. Install the fine pre-filter M before the microfilter S. Activated carbon can then follow the microfilter and only deals with vapours and odours.
- What purity does the IHP4S microfilter provide?
- Particles down to 0.01 µm and residual oil below 0.01 mg/m³, class 1-x-1 according to ISO 8573-1.
- What goes before the microfilter?
- The fine pre-filter M, so that the microfilter element does not clog so quickly.
- Does it have to go before activated carbon?
- Yes. Solid particle class 1 for activated carbon A only applies when an S microfilter is installed before it.
