Features
• Pleated, maximum area elements
• Low pressure loss design
• Large dirt holding capacity, longer operation between element
changes
• Positive sealing, high vacuum capability
• Cleanable, reusable filter element
• Modified and custom designs available
Applications
• Efficient removal of dust, dirt, pipescale, and other solid
particulate from air and gas vacuum lines.
• Positive protection of vacuum pumps and other pipeline
equipment in vacuum furnace, distillation, packaging and other
processes.
• LKV for low vacuum service (above 1.0 Torr); HKV for high
vacuum service (below 1.0 Torr).
• Filtering of solid particles ranging from 0.3 to 750
microns in size.
• Optional high temperature medias to +300° F.
LKV 160-060 FL
Housing Design and Construction
LKV Series housings are designed for low vacuum services ranging
from 760 Torr (atmospheric pressure) down to 1.0 Torr.
HKV Series housings are designed and constructed for high
vacuum applications operating in a range from 760 Torr down to
0.001 Torr. All sealing surfaces are machined to a 63 micro-inch
finish to assure leak tightness under high vacuum service
conditions.
All models can be quickly serviced without breaking pipe
connections and the inlet/outlet connections are furnished in a
horizontal in-line configuration. Leg supports and hinged or swingaway closure devices are standard on larger sized models. All
models provide a large volume sump area for collection of
contaminants below the filter element. Standard filters may also be
modified to meet unique or special application needs, including
designing to higher pressures.
• Materials
of construction include carbon steel, 304 and 316
Stainless Steel as well as other alloys.
Element Design and Construction
Filter Materials & Ratings
The LKV and HKV Series filters offer a replaceable, cleanable
element that features a pleated or "radial fin" cartridge design. This
design offers maximum filter area in a compact filter assembly, and
provides positive gasket sealing to prevent by-pass of unfiltered
fluids. Long filter life, low pressure drop, large dirt holding capacity,
and efficient filtration are assured. Most models employ only one
filter element to permit quick and simple cartridge changeout.
• Housing–Carbon Steel
Standard models LKV 115, HKV 115, and larger are furnished with a
cleanable, sewn-end constructed element, which can be
reconditioned before replacement is necessary. Following several
field cleanings this unique element style can be returned to the
factory for recovery and reconditioning.
Element Materials
Standard elements are furnished with a polyester filter medium
providing 10 micron solids nominal retention . Vacuum filter
elements are also supplied in many alternate materials offering a
