Pure Air Supply Because of BAUER's Air Processing and Filter
Systems
The P-FilterSystem
You need high pressure breathing air? Why does it need purifying? Without purification, air from a piston compressor conforms in no
way with the air quality standards required by divers; it is
saturated with moisture, contains oil vapours and may taste and
smell of impurities.
Therefore, an air processing system is of prime importance.
Without air purification, serious damage to your health and
equipment may ensue. Equipment damage includes cylinder corrosion,
equipment malfunctions through impurities and iced up, free flowing
regulators. Costly repairs and maintenance are some of the
consequences. Also hazardous microorganisms may inhabit the
cylinder.
The quality of breathing air is largely based on the purification
systems and the design of the compressor block. We have 55 years of
high pressure experience and know-how - that pays off!
The BAUER P-Filter systems meet and exceed the following
international air quality standards
| Germany: | DIN EN 12021 and PNEUROP 6611 |
|---|
| United Kingdom | BS 4275 (fire services), BS 4001, part 1.2 (diving) |
|---|
| France | Plonges Profondes Offshore |

| USA | CGA Grade D+E, Navy Standard Federal Spec. Grade A+B |

| Canada | CSA |

With the BAUER P-filter system these international standards are
met or clearly surpassed.
The Final Separator
is integrated in the VERTICUS units. The oil and water emulsion
collects in the bottom of the separator chamber and is drained
manually or by means of an automatic condensate drain (optional).
The P-Filter System
The filter system P41 or P61 are part of the standard delivery
scope of supply on the VERTICUS models. The filters are carefully
selected to match the units' rate of flow and to provide long
filter life. Drying agents in the filter cartridge absorbs the
residual humidity and water vapours.
Compressed air is treated in three stages:
A - DRYING by adsorption of water vapour particles
B - NEUTRALISATION by adsorption of oil vapour and disturbing odours
C - MICRO FILTERING by binding suspended particles
BAUER's purification cartridges have a filter capacity of 1000 Nm
(P41) or 1600 Nm (P61) at 200 bar (capacity in terms of free air
delivery measured at 1 bar absolute, + 20 °C air temperature and +
30 °C final separator temperature).
Standard Scope of Supply
Purchasing BAUER's P-filter system gives you a complete and
functional air/gas purification system with:
- Micro separator
- Automatic condensate drain (optional)
- SECURUS monitoring unit (optional)
- Component-tested safety valve
- Corrosion resistant non-return valve
- Filter system with aluminium pressure vessels (TV approved)
- Pressure maintaining valve
- All system components are given a special surface treatment for
long life corrosion resistance.
