Air Compressors 2901207916 2901207936 Filter Element Atlas Copco Replacement

Little Knowledge

Can the 2901207916 2901207936 filter Element filter out oil vapor?

The filter elements 2901207916 and 2901207936 are both line filters, commonly used in Atlas Copco air compressors. These filters are primarily designed to remove solid contaminants, such as dust and particles, from the compressed air. They are not specifically designed to filter out oil vapor.

To effectively remove oil vapor from compressed air systems, you would need specialized filters called coalescing filters or oil removal filters. These filters are designed with a specific media and configuration to capture and remove oil vapor from the compressed air.

If you require filtration for oil vapor removal, it is recommended to consider using a separate oil removal filter in addition to the line filter element. The specific model number for the oil removal filter will depend on the requirements of your air compressor system.

I would also advise consulting the manufacturer of your air compressor to ensure that you are using the correct filter elements and filters for your specific application. They can provide you with the most accurate information regarding compatibility and performance of their equipment.
