Van Air Systems Mist Eliminators
VME Series Oil Mist Eliminators
Long element life with low pressure drop saves you time and money.
Low pressure drop means a pressure differential of 1 PSID or less. Long element life means you only change the mist eliminator element about once each decade. How is this possible? With a thick bed of glass fiber, the element facilitates selfcleaning by continuous draining. Contaminants are trapped at various stages within the fiber bed, not only at the surface. This prevents clogging and keeps pressure drop low.
The Van Air Systems Mist Eliminator provides effective, continuous removal of heavy oil contamination in high-volume air systems.
Features:
- Removes oil and water aerosols from compressor systems
- Protects downstream equipment
- Long lasting element
- Low pressure drop
Benefits:
- Saves energy
- Low cost monitor
Payback on your investment is 18 months or less.
- VME 1250 DP = 1 PSID (constant)
- Typical Coalescer DP = 4 PSID (min. wet operating)
- 1250 SCFM = 250 HP = 186 Kw
- 6000 hrs/yr (3 shifts) x 186 Kwh x $.07/Kwh
- Electric cost per year = $78,120.00
- 4 PSID cost = $3,125.00
- 1 PSID cost = -781.00
- Savings = $2,344.00
