2. Filtration Rules of Thumb General: For peak output performance from a compressor, blower, vacuum pump, engine, or any other machine that consumes air, one must have clean, unrestricted air. Proper filtration can help stabilize the working environment within rotating equipment even when the external conditions may be quite severe. A critical component in creating the right working conditions is filter sizing.

4. Element Cleaning Some types of Solberg inlet filter elements can be cleaned and reused. However, damage can occur to an element during cleaning so it is imperative that care is taken during disassembly, cleaning and re-assembly. Damaged elements can allow particulate bypass, which will damage rotating equipment. A. Polyester Element: The polyester element may be washed in warm soapy water, vacuumed, gently blown out or replaced. The element should be dry before reinstallation. B.
2. Disconnecting canister top from canister base. A. VS/VL: Remove V-clamp by loosening Hex Nut or T-bolt and releasing. B. CT/Small CSL/CBL: Release wire-form clips. C. Large CSL: Loosen wing-nut or hex head on T-bolts. D. CSS: Twist upper housing to release. E. Lift off canister top. 3. Removing element for service/maintenance. A. Remove retaining hex head/wing-nut and washer carefully, and then remove element. Some elements will have a top plate that should also be removed.
5. Securing canister top to canister base. A. Make sure all surfaces are free from dust and other particulate. B. Hemisphere o-ring must rest evenly along canister/casting base o-ring groove. C. VS/VL: Secure V-clamp by disconnecting hex nut or T-bolt portion and placing V-clamp along the diameter of canister o-ring groove. Fasten Tbolt and secure tightly. V-CLAMP LEGS MUST REST UNIFORMLY ALONG ENTIRE O-RING GROOVE. D.
