Determine cartridge service life on the basis of tables
The number of operating hours or the number of possible cylinder fillings per filter
cartridge can be determined using the tables in the appendix, with due regard to
the ambient temperature and the cartridge being used.
The tables contain calculated cartridge service life figures, which refer to defined
and constant operating conditions. Tolerances in the cartridge filling and varying
operating temperatures can lead to considerably deviations from the stated details
which can, as a result, only be considered to be reference values for the operating
company.
Determining the cartridge service life in cylinder fillings
The cartridge service life values and the maximum number of cylinder fillings per
filter cartridge or cartridge combination is to be determined as follows:
Number of bottle fillings n and bottle size [l]
Ambient
temperature
tU [°C]

final separator

Fig. 25 Example: Determining the cartridge service life in cylinder fillings
1.
Take the cartridge number from the sticker on the filter and select the relevant
table in the appendix to these instructions.
2.
Select the column with the relevant cylinder size e.g. 10 l.
3.
Select the row with the average ambient temperature e.g. 30°C.
4.
Read off the number of maximum permitted cylinder fillings e.g. 1049 - 861.
The cartridge service life can also be determined on the basis of the operating
hours, see Determining the cartridge service life in hours, Page 102.
