FOR
MAXIMUM WATER COALESCING EFFICIENCY AND SOLIDS HOLDING CAPACITY
Facet CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridges offer the finest performance
available. This standard line of high flow coalescer cartridges
removes ultra-fine solids and enhances separation of water from
jet fuel.
The Facet coalescer separator housings equipped with CAA Series
5 coalescer and companion separator cartridges have been tested
and fully qualified to meet the performance requirements of API
Bulletin 1581, Fifth Edition, Category C, Type S. (Category C
replaces the previous class A, B, and C of API-1581 3rd Edition.)
Built for balanced fluid flow-thru and structural strength, each
CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridge is a single-piece construction
of various combined media, precisely arranged in many layers and
pleats, wrapped around a treated, perforated metal center tube—all
encased in an outer sock material. All are 6” OD (152 mm)
by 31-½ "ID (89 mm) and available in standard interchangeable
nominal lengths in increments from 11-¼ " (290 mm)
to 571-¼ "(1450 mm).
The CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridges are available in two cartridge
mounting styles: self-centering rod mount and screw base. The
rod mount style has treated metal end caps, while the screw base
ends are injection molded, glass-filled nylon. This screw base
material offers superior strength and ease of maintenance—uniform
threads, no shrinkage, no galling and no gasket to recover.
A permanently affixed Buna-N gasket seals against the V-type
knife edge mounting adaptor to provide a positive seal. It will
not separate from the cartridge during installation or change
out.
