About High Temperature Filter

High Temperature Filter Housing

Product Description

TFI High Temperature Filter Housings are specially designed for filtration applications involving elevated-temperature liquids and process fluids. The housings are engineered to withstand high operating temperatures while providing reliable filtration performance, mechanical strength, and long service life.

Manufactured from high-quality SS 304 / SS 316, these filter housings can be customized according to the required temperature, pressure, flow rate, cartridge configuration, filtration rating, and connection size. Suitable cartridge materials, gaskets, seals, and internal components can also be selected based on the process temperature and fluid compatibility.

The robust construction and easy-access design allow convenient cartridge replacement, cleaning, and routine maintenance, making these housings suitable for demanding high-temperature industrial processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is a High Temperature Filter Housing?
A High Temperature Filter Housing is a pressure-rated filtration vessel designed to accommodate filter cartridges while operating with liquids or process fluids at elevated temperatures.

2. What temperature can the housing handle?
The maximum operating temperature depends on the housing material, design pressure, cartridge material, gasket, seals, and process fluid. TFI can design the housing according to the required operating temperature.

3. Which materials are used for high-temperature applications?
The housing is generally manufactured from SS 304 or SS 316. The internal components and sealing materials are selected according to the operating temperature and chemical compatibility.

4. Can standard filter cartridges be used at high temperature?
Not always. Cartridge material and construction must be suitable for the actual operating temperature. High-temperature-rated cartridges should be selected for high-temperature service.

5. What gasket materials are suitable for high-temperature applications?
Depending on temperature and chemical compatibility, options such as PTFE, graphite, Viton/FKM, or other high-temperature sealing materials can be considered.

6. Can the filter housing also operate at high pressure?
Yes. The housing can be designed for combined high-temperature and high-pressure operation, subject to the required design conditions and applicable engineering standards.

7. Can the housing be customized?
Yes. TFI can customize the housing according to flow rate, operating temperature, operating pressure, fluid, cartridge size, cartridge quantity, micron rating, MOC and connection size.

8. What information is required to select a High Temperature Filter Housing?
The main requirements are:

• Fluid / application
• Flow rate
• Operating temperature
• Operating pressure
• Required filtration micron
• Cartridge size and quantity
• Inlet/outlet size
• Material of construction
• Maximum allowable pressure drop

9. Is SS 316 suitable for high-temperature applications?
SS 316 can be suitable for many high-temperature applications, but the suitability depends on the actual temperature, pressure, fluid chemistry and operating conditions. The complete housing and sealing system should be evaluated together.

10. Why is cartridge selection important in high-temperature filtration?
The cartridge is directly exposed to the process temperature. Using a cartridge that is not rated for the operating temperature can lead to deformation, degradation, loss of filtration performance, or premature failure.
