Applications – Use one of the housings shown in conjunction with one of the elements shown for your steam applications.
Culinary Steam – Process Steam
There are several terms used for steam from “process steam” used in process applications as a source of energy for process heating, pressure control and mechanical drives to “culinary steam” used in food processing which is often required to meet 3-A Culinary Standards and 3-A Accepted Practices for the dairy industry. Process steam does not generally come in contact with the final product whereas culinary steam can, and often does, come in direct contact with the final product.*
Steam Housing – MultiTri-Clover
P-GS – STERILE AIR, STEAM AND LIQUID FILTRATION
The Donaldson P-GS sintered stainless steel filter element is used for filtration of steam, gas, and liquid. The P-GS 5 micron filter element exceeds 3-A guidelines for the production of culinary steam under Accepted Practice T609-04. Improved steam quality ensures longer service life of the filter elements being sterilized and increases the efficiency of the entire process. The P-GS provides high dirt holding capacity at low differential pressure and high flow rate, and it can be regenerated by back flushing or ultrasonic cleaning to deliver long filter life and reduced operating costs.
• The P-GS has thirteen sizes, three micron ratings, and connection options to meet virtually all purification requirements in steam, gas, and liquid filtration applications.
• The P-GS features continuous 316L sintered stainless steel filter media construction 304 SS welded end caps with excellent material compatibility to steam and aggressive gases supporting temperatures from -60°F to 400°F
• The P-GS 5 micron element exceeds 3-A guidelines for the production of Culinary Steam under Accepted Practice T609-04.
• The 50+% porosity level ensures high dirt holding capacity at low differential pressure and high flow rate.
• Multiple regenerative methods are possible including back-flushing, ultrasonic cleaning, and solvent cleaning with hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals allowing for longer filter life and reduced operating costs.
• All components meet the FDA requirements for contact with food in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21. The filter element is manufactured according to DIN EN ISO 9001.
P-GSL N – STERILE AIR, STEAM AND LIQUID FILTRATION
Improved steam quality ensures increased efficiency of the entire process and longer service life of the filters to be sterilized. The Donaldson P-GSL N is a regenerable pleated, stainless steel filter element that captures contaminants such as particles, abrasion of valves and sealings, and rust. The P-GSL N can be used in higher capacity applications where low pressure drop and reduced space are critical.
All components meet the USA requirements for Food Contact Use in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21, and the EU requirements for Food Contact Use according to EC/1935/2004. The filter element is manufactured in accordance with these manufacturing requirement, has no migration of filter
media, and is non-fiber releasing.
• Filter down to 0.01μm in air/saturated steam with pleated stainless steel media
• Low pressure drop and higher dirt holding capacity requires less energy which reduces operating costs.
• Regenerable by back-flushing or ultrasonic cleaning
• Double O-ring
• Reduced operational risk with a 5μm element – users know that their steam meets the 3-A guidelines for culinary steam and approved for food contact use (according to CFR Title 21 and 1935/2004/EC)
• Longer service life which leads to a lower cost of ownership
