Aquacon® Cartridges have a patented* construction for removing dirt and water from hydrocarbon and other oils as well as gases. The outer media layer filters out silt, rust and other particulate contaminants. The inner layers absorb water and chemically bond it so that no water will release downstream.
When the Aquacon Cartridge reaches its water holding limit, the media swells shut and the differential pressure rapidly increases. This signals the operator that the cartridge must be changed.
APPLICATIONS
- Gasoline
- Kerosene
- Diesel Fuel
- Insulating Oil
- Biodiesel
- Hydraulic Oil
- Turbine Lube Oil
- Quench Oil
- Synthetic Oil
- Phosphate Ester Oil
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
- Maximum operating temperature is 250°F.
- Aquacon® Cartridges will shut off flow when loaded with water or dirt. Appropriate precautions should be taken in critical applications where oil flow must be maintained.
- With some lube and hydraulic oils all of the water may not be removed in one pass, and extra passes will be required for total removal.
- Water capacity for the AC-718 cartridges ranges from 2 to 4 quarts.
WARNING: Absorbent-type monitor cartridges will not remove water from fuel containing alcohol-
blending agents (commonly called gasohol). For removal of solids, please use Velcon particle removal
filters specifically made for gasohol. Consult your Velcon representative.

Notes:
(1) The AC-21005 will fit into many existing housings that take “string-wound” cartridges.
Check to confirm that the 9 3/4” length will seat properly in the housing.
(2) The AC-5121/2E, AC-718P3, AC-7181/2 and AC-7361/2 are increased surface area/reduced water capacity cartridges specifically designed for circuit breaker oil.
