Compressed Air Filtration
Chicago Pneumatic Compressed Air Line Filters
CP line filters help remove particles, liquid water, oil aerosol, vapour and odour from compressed air systems.

Filter Selection
Five Filter Types
G, S, C, D and V filter types cover general protection, dust filtration, high-efficiency coalescing and activated carbon vapour removal.
Complete Air Quality
Filter Placement Matters
Filters are normally selected as part of the full air treatment line: compressor, receiver, pre-filter, dryer and post-filter. The correct sequence depends on the target ISO 8573-1 air quality class.
- Pre-filter before dryer protection
- Post-filter for air quality polishing
- Activated carbon where vapour and odour removal are required
Filter Types
| Type | Purpose | Typical Placement |
|---|---|---|
| G filter | General purpose coalescing protection for solid particles, liquid water and oil aerosol | After compressor / water separator |
| S filter | Particulate filter for dust protection | After dryer |
| C filter | High-efficiency coalescing filter for particles, liquid water and oil aerosol | After G filter |
| D filter | High-efficiency particulate filter for dust protection | After S filter or adsorption dryer |
| V filter | Activated carbon filter for oil vapour and hydrocarbon odour removal | After upstream filtration |
