air filter for removing oil
air filter for removing oil
(OP)
In piston powered air compressors, oil is use for lubrication which contaminate the compressed air somewhat. In the application I'm designing, it is desirable to remove the traces of oil so the compressed air is clean. The pressure of the air will be around 100 PSI
What are the different filters I can use for the application, and how long do each last? Are they cartidge based?
Thanks

For filters, you can check Parker and Domnick Hunter. Try to reduce the load on filters by using oil catch and mufflers etc.

Can a coalescing filter clean the air to a point where it's safe to be breathed? Obviously, it's hard to remove all the oil content, but there must be a point where the concentration is low enough that it's no worse than ambient air.

RE: air filter for removing oil
The use of an oil flooded compressor for breathing air is very irresponsible. What if the coalescing filter fails? Don't do it.
RE: air filter for removing oil
Coalescing filters can probably remove oil down to about 0.003 ppm. I would not use an oil flooded compressor though, even with the coalescing filter. Filters frequently fail and you may be breaking the law.
