9.6 Change filter element
D10107-EN-R05
The filter element must be changed regularly, at the latest, 12 months after operational
start-up.
Whether an earlier change is required can be determined unambiguously only with a dif-
ferential pressure measurement between medium supply flow and medium run-off. If such
measuring equipment is not available, the condition of the filter element must be tested
regularly by a visual check. We recommend to change the filter element in case of soiling
which is obviously identifiable from externally and to also clean the container in this case.
With the change of the filter element, basically new seals must be used and the sealing
surfaces in the filter body, as well as in the container, cleaned free of residue. An already
used filter element may not be used again.
