UFI FAB Oil Bath Air Filters and Cyclone Prefilters

UFI FAB oil bath air filters and cyclone prefilters are essential accessories for air filtration in harsh environments. Designed for flow rates from 3,000 to 12,000 l/min, they combine a black-painted steel housing with a galvanized steel filter element. Ideal for engines and compressors, these filters operate up to 95°C, ensuring effective removal of dust and contaminants thanks to the combined action of the oil bath and cyclone prefilter.

FAB UFI

Description

The FAB series by UFI Filters represents a complete and robust solution for intake air filtration. This combined oil bath filter and cyclone prefilter system is designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions, effectively protecting internal combustion engines and compressors from the ingress of dust and abrasive particles.

Combined Filtration Technology

The FAB system uses a dual filtration action to maximize efficiency and service life:

  1. Cyclone Prefiltration: The prefilter removes heavier and coarser particles by centrifugal force, reducing the contaminant load reaching the next stage.
  2. Oil Bath: The air passes through an oil bath that captures finer particles, retaining them and ensuring a clean airflow to the engine or compressor.

Materials and Construction

Components are manufactured using high-quality materials to ensure strength and long service life:

  • Housing: Black-painted steel, resistant to corrosion and impacts.
  • Filter Element: Galvanized steel (stainless steel available on request for special applications).
  • Prefilter: Equipped with a transparent housing and a plastic deflector for easy visual inspection.
  • Seals: NBR (Nitrile) for a secure seal.

Performance and Sizing

The FAB range covers a wide flow rate interval, from 3,000 to 12,000 l/min, making it suitable for different engine displacements and types (2-stroke and 4-stroke) as well as compressors. Correct filter sizing is obtained by applying the formula $Q = (C times N) / K$, where $K$ is a specific coefficient that varies according to the number of cylinders and the type of engine cycle.

Operating Conditions

These filters are designed to operate at temperatures up to a maximum of 95°C, ensuring reliability even under demanding operating conditions.
