Guide Specifications
Construction
Moisture separators are constructed much like permanent metal washable filters. The nominal two inch thick
media pack consists of 15 individual layers of pleated and flat aluminum wire mesh.
Air entering and exiting support grids are expanded metal, and the media enclosing frame is 16 ga. galva-
nized steel with five 3/8” diameter holes in the bottom for drainage.
Notes
1.Model MSG separators for use in side access housings with drain tube option are furnished with neoprene
gaskets on vertical sides to prevent moisture bypass.
2. Actual separator size is 5/8” under on both height and width. Actual depth is 1-7/8”
3. For maximum capture of liquid droplets, operate separators in the 500 fpm + 10% range.
4. Pd= Pressure Drop, in w.g.
5. Special sizes are available. Contact your local representative or the factory.
6.
Performance values stated may be averages typical of the products listed. Contact factory for actual perform-
ance test reports on specific products.
