Desiccants

Beach Filters offers a variety of desiccants to meet most every application.

Standard Clay Desiccant
Standard Clay Desiccant will solve most filtration problems such as moisture and hydrocarbons. It filters these elements simultaneously.

Silica Gel
Silica Gel is effective in dew point reduction and moisture control but is degraded in the presence of hydrocarbons. Used with a refrigerated dryer, the silica gel element can reduce dew point from 0 to -40 degrees C.
For our dual element housing, a clay element followed by a silica gel element gets excellent results across the spectrum. The clay will protect the silica gel from hydrocarbons.

Activated Carbon
Activated Carbon is specified for removing odors and oil vapors from the gas stream.

Special Desiccants
Beach filters will make custom filter elements with any available desiccant.

Element Life - When to Change Elements

Element life varies widely depending on application.

Change elements when color changes from white to a grayish brown/dark gray on Clearview and Sight-glass models or a pressure drop of 1.5x to 2.0x of normal.

Beach recommends element change on a 3 month cycle to insure good performance.
