Particle Filter Element
Prefilter element for the removal of particulate contaminants in gases.
Ultraporex B
Ultraporex Type B Prefilter Element
Donaldson Ultraporex B prefilter
elements utilize a highly porus sintered media for
absolute filtration of particles down to 25 ìm in size.
The primary filtration mechanism of this media is
sieving, which captures most particles near the
surface allowing for regeneration of the element and
reduced operating cost through fewer element
change-outs. Although the Ultraporex B is primarily
used as a particulate prefilter, a simple reversal of flow
through the element allows the Ultraporex B to be
used as an effective course coalescing filter element,
removing bulk quantities of water and oil from an air or
gas stream (standard housings are equipped with an
internal float drain, so no special equipment
is required).
The high-grade sintered bronze media ensures not
only a high load capacity of contaminants, but also
long life through its resistance to aggressive
condensates and its ability to be regenerated
many times.
Applications
The Donaldson Ultraporex B filter element is ideal in
the following industries and applications:
• Particulate prefilters upstream of final filters
• Centralized prefiltration in compressor rooms
• Course coalescing after cyclone separators and
before fine coalescers
• Installations with aggressive condensates

Sizing example for pressure which deviates
from nominal pressure:
Vnom = 200 cfm, operating pressure = 130 psi
Vcorr = Vnom /fp
Vcorr = 200 cfm / 1.25 = 165 cfm
