Gas Filters, Filter Elements & Filter Housings

Gas Filter Elements, Housings and Filter Heads

The products in this category represent the typical components of a gas filtration system and are used either individually or as complete units depending on the application.

• Gas filter elements: replaceable filtration units for removing particles and fine contaminants
• Gas filter housings / bodies: structural components that hold and seal the filter element
• Gas filter heads: connection components for integration into existing gas systems
• Complete gas filters: pre-assembled units consisting of housing and filter element
• Filter kits: matched service and replacement solutions for defined applications

Filtration Ratings in Microns and Filter Selection

Filtration rating is a key selection factor for gas filters. This category includes solutions ranging from coarse particle filtration to fine filtration in the sub-micron range.

Typical filtration levels range from several microns down to very fine filtration below 1 µm, depending on system requirements and application.

An incorrect filtration rating may result in insufficient cleaning or increased wear within the system.

Reference Number, Design and System Compatibility

Gas filters are primarily identified by reference numbers and system compatibility. Design type and filtration rating are also critical for correct selection.

Especially in system-specific applications, correct matching between filter head, housing and filter element is essential.

Visually similar filters may differ in filtration level, connection type or internal design.

System Separation from Air Filters and Intake Components

Gas filters operate in closed gas systems and are functionally distinct from air filters, which are designed to clean engine intake air.

They are not part of the engine intake system but are independent components within technical gas flow systems.

Unlike complete air filter systems and air filter elements, gas filters operate on defined gas media rather than intake air.

Components such as air intake components and pre-cleaners belong to the intake system and are functionally separate.

For ambient air cleaning in workshops or service areas, air cleaners are used instead.
