For Maximum Water Coalescing Efficiency and Solids Holding Capacity
Facet CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridges offer the finest performance available. This standard line of high flow coalescer cartridges removes ultra-fine solids and enhances separation of water from jet fuel.The Facet coalescer separator housings equipped with CAA Series 5 coalescer and companion separator cartridges have been tested and fully qualified to meet the performance requirements of API Bulletin 1581, Fifth Edition, Category C, Type S. (Category C replaces the previous class A, B, and C of API-1581 3rd Edition.)
Built for balanced fluid flow-thru and structural strength, each CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridge is a single-piece construction of various combined media, precisely arranged in many layers and pleats, wrapped around a treated, perforated metal center tube - all encased in an outer sock material. All are 6" OD (152 mm) by 3 1/2" ID (89 mm) and available in standard interchangeable nominal lengths in increments from 11 1/4" (290 mm) to 57 1/4" (1450 mm).
The CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridges are available in two cartridge mounting styles: self-centering rod mount and screw base. The rod mount style has treated metal end caps, while the screw base ends are injection molded, glass-filled nylon. This screw base material offers superior strength and ease of maintenance - uniform threads, no shrinkage, no galling and no gasket to recover.
A permanently affixed Buna-N gasket seals against the V-type knife edge mounting adaptor to provide a positive seal. It will not separate from the cartridge during installation or change out.
