CONSLER AGS SERIES AIR & GAS FILTER SEPARATORS
Against the filter media and are extracted from the gas
stream. The larger droplets once formed, drain off the outside
of the element and fall by gravity to the sump area in the filter
housing where a drain connection is provided for removing the
coalesced liquid. The high efficiency element prevents reentrainment of the liquid downstream. The coalescing action
continues at the same rate that new liquid enters the element,
allowing long service life before element replacement is
required.
The cartridge is designed with an inside diameter that is
approximately the same dimension as the inlet and outlet. This
unique design allows for a smooth transition of the flow through
the housings and elements. The net result is a low pressure
drop.

• Use as a pre-filter to an air dryer, increasing system
efficiency and equipment service life.
• Gas pipeline applications; to protect equipment from
liquid and solid contaminants.
• Ideal for satisfying OEM specifications.
Element Design & Construction
The AGS Series of coalescing filters offers the use of a unique
high efficiency media. The element is constructed of
multiple layer pleated fiberglass which is supported on a
carbon steel core. The elements are available with stainless
steel internals for more corrosive applications. The drainage
of coalesced liquids and protection from re-entrainment is
provided by a polyester foam outer wrap. The pleated
design fiberglass element has extended surface area that
leads to high dirt loading and log efficient service life.
The coalescing action is a gathering of minute liquid particles
or smaller droplets to form larger droplets. The small droplets
that enter the inside of the element are intercepted or impinged
Element Materials
The pleated radial fin fiberglass element offers excellent
chemical compatibility. The end caps are plated carbons
steel with an 0-ring seal. The standard cartridge can be used
in service up to 200 0F. Optional materials permit temperatures
to 400 0 F.
Housing Design and Construction
Housings are designed and constructed in accordance with
ASME Section VIII, Division I requirements for unfired pressure
vessels. Models AGS-115 and larger are furnished with 1/4” NPT
gauge connections on the inlet/outlet nozzles. AGS Models
160 thru 190 are equipped with three support legs. All models
have a large sump areas for the collection of liquids. An
optional ball valve and auto drain are available for each
mode. Housings can be equipped with P gauges, sight
glasses, and float switches. Contact the factor for detail.
Standard filter housings are of carbon steel construction and
my be modified to meet special application needs. The
housings are also available in 304 and 316 stainless materials.
High pressure designs up to 6000 PSIG are also available.
