QDT 20 Activated carbon tower for optimal oil vapor filtration

Atlas Copco QDT series - Activated carbon towers for optimal oil vapor filtration

In applications such as pharmaceutical, food and beverage and electronics, where air purity is critical, there is often a requirement to remove residual oil vapors and odors from the compressed air supply. Atlas Copco has developed a filter which can provide this level of clean air, known as the QDT. This activated carbon filter is able to remove both vapors and odors down to 0.003 ppm, which is class 1 clean air according to ISO 8573-1. Unlike other carbon based filters, the QDT is sized for real life. There are many look alike products which have a similar performance rating but for inlet temperatures of just 68°F. The QDT is designed and sized for an inlet temperatures of 95°F, meaning it will actually delivery the performance expected continuously all year round.

The high-efficiency activated carbon tower is capable of removing hydrocarbons, odors and oil vapor from compressed air. The activated carbon will, through adsorption, reduce the residual oil content to lower than 0.003 mg/m³. The pressure drop is low and stays minimal during the filter’s lifetime.

Your benefits:

• Maximum oil vapor removal. Superb activated carbon material.

• Low pressure drop - Optimal internal flow path.

• High reliability - The QDT’s robust design and rigorous quality control of the activated carbon optimize filter reliability.

• Long service intervals - The high volume of activated carbon material ensures a long lifetime, even in very harsh working conditions.
