INTAKE FILTER (Fig. 15)
15
The suction filter is coupled directly to the lid of
the 1 st stage head.
The intake filter consists of a cylindrical aluminium
casing provided with a screw cap that holds the
filtering cartridge.
A special attachment is provided on the filter for
the connection of an extension (optional) which
enables air to be taken from the outside when
the compressor is installed in a place without ideal
ventilation.
For the compressor to operate properly, the filter
maintenance must be carried out as provided for
and at the intervals recommended (instructions
in paragraph 11.6).
ACTIVE CARBON AND MOLECULAR SIEVE FILTER (Fig. 16)
The filter consists of an aluminium tube (B) that
holds the filter cartridge (A).
The shell of the cartridge contains the active
carbon (C) and the molecular sieve (D) placed
between felt disks.
The condition of the cartridge is of fundamental
importance for the quality of the air (see
paragraph 11.7 for replacement instructions).
