DESCRIPTION

MCP5E Series-Flow – This model employs two different types of filter cartridges in series. Typically, the first of the MCP’s two housings is utilized as a prefilter. With heavy carbon or dirt contamination, this prefilter holds a cost-effective particle or colloidal removal cartridge and the second in series holds an Aquacon® super-absorbent water removing cartridge.

Other cartridge combinations have proven to be effective for filtering vacuum pump oil and other oils in corrosive environments. Use either an economical dirt cartridge or an Aquacon® dirt and water cartridge in the first stage and either a Fuller’s Earth or an Activated Alumina cartridge in the second. The first stage removes dirt or dirt and water while the second removes acids, gums, surfactants, varnishes, soaps, color bodies, corrosive gasses, polar compounds, and oxidation products.

MDP5E Alternate-Flow – Only one housing on this
model is utilized at a time. The operator can manually switch the oil flow from one housing to the other at his option. This is very useful when down-time is critical. The oil can filter through one side while the cartridge is being changed in the other housing with little or no interruption of oil flow.

Another application of the MDP5E is to use a different type of cartridge in each of the housings. An economical dirt removing cartridge, for example, can be employed in the first housing for routine filtering. When water is detected in the oil, the flow can be manually diverted to the second housing, containing an Aquacon® Cartridge, for both water and dirt removal.
