 3-29 What is the relationship between air filter efficiency and air temperature?

Air filter efficiency is influenced by compressed air temp, as higher temps increase oil content flowing through filter. Install filters at lowest temp point.
Case Details

Answer: The temperature of the oil and water contained in the compressed air affects the filter efficiency. For example, when the temperature is 30, the oil content flowing through the filter is 5 times that at 20; when the temperature rises to 40, the oil content flowing through the filter is 10 times that at 20. Therefore, the filter should generally be installed at the lowest temperature point of the compressed air system.
