WT 20.48 KOBE - KOBU

Water-Acid-Trap with extra fine particle filter

model WT 20.48 KOBE made of stainless steel

model WT 20.48 KOBU made of PVDF

- For continuous deposition of high quantities of acid during emission measurements, e.g. heavy fuel, when using large diesel engines for ships and for electricity generation

- For high gas flow rates e.g. in case of engine test benches

- Built-in condensate tank

- Can be used as XL suction filter

- Cartridge Water-Acid-Trap is exchangeable

Intended use/functional description:

The Water-Acid-Trap WT 20.48 KOBE/KOBU is designed for the following applications:

• continuous deposition of high quantities of acids via an in-built bypass, e.g. when using large diesel engines with heavy fuel
• Engine test benches; a high gas flow rate is possible here
• Ambient air suction filter; the model 20.48 KOBE/KOBU offers a large filter surface here and thus long service lives

Condensate can be continuously discharged via a condensate outlet with the help of a perestaltc pump or an automatic separator. Manual extraction via a downstream drain valve is also possible.
The Water-Acid-Trap is installed directly in front of the gas analyser in the piping. If the upstream gas processing (cooler, perestaltic pump, dust filter and the like) fails, the Water-Acid-Trap uses its semipermeable SUN-C membrane^® to protect the gas analyser. The membrane separates gases from condensate and extra fine dust. If it is fully filled, the gas flow will be interrupted. An alarm is indicated via the upstream variable area flowmeter with monitoring. As an option, an electric condensate alarm is available via a built-in float switch.

The Water-Acid-Trap is also known as a “Police filter”

Suitable for the following applications:

• Emission measurements with fossil fuels
• Silo monitoring
• Waste incineration plants
• Heat treatments
• Biogas heat treatments
• Cement, glass, steel, paper industries
• Ambient air monitoring
• Large diesel engines

Not suitable for the following applications:

Condensate with aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. oils and fuels in refinery process gases. The models 20.82 E and the model 20.83 E XL with their oil-block membrane and coalescence filters have been designed for this
