PRODUCT DATA SERIES 12MS PD-AL12MS-03A JANUARY 2003 HVAC ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT SERIES 12MS 12" MOISTURE SEPARATOR SECTION Moisture Separator The Series 12MS is a Moisture Separator Section designed for those applications where removal of excessive water, oil mist, fog or water-like elements from a saturated air stream is necessary. It is particularly useful in systems where saturated air is allowed to condense out, such as downstream of DX, chilled water coils, steam or mist humidifiers. How It Works... CONSTRUCTION FEATURES 16 GAUGE ALUMINIZED STEEL CONSTRUCTION FACTORY ASSEMBLED 2 LIFT-OFF ACCESS DOORS VERTICAL DRAIN SYSTEM 4" TRACK SYSTEM FOR THE CELLS DRAIN HOLES IN TRACK The housing utilizes 4" deep FILTER-LINE TM Moisture Separator Cells which capture and then separate moisture from the air stream. Applying a compact series of flat, dense, aluminum screening materials, each cell creates over 64 square feet of surface area in the 2" media pack. This enormous amount of surface area forces moisture to condense, bead and accumulate on one of the more than 2,200,000 individual filament intersects. Once collected, the accumulated moisture begins to weep or drip downward where the fluent is pooled and released through a series of drain holes that channel the moisture onto an aluminum extruded slide track. Once collected in the track, the run-off is funneled into a central vertical drain system that brings it directly to a collection pan at the base of the unit. This crossbroke drain pan has at its center and bottom a factory installed pipe coupling, easily accessible for field piping and installation, which completes the collection process in an effective and efficient manner. Rugged Construction The ACCESS-LINE Series 12MS is manufactured from 16 gauge aluminized steel and equipped with two fully gasketed, lift-off access doors to prevent air or moisture bypass. Complete with extruded aluminum tracks, drain holes, a vertical drain system and a drain pan, this section can also be fabricated from 304 stainless steel. Corporate Headquarters P.O.

The Moisture Separator Cells Used in conjunction with the Moisture Separator Section, the BLC FILTER-LINE Moisture Separator Cell (MSC) loads quickly and efficiently into it. Particularly convenient when accessing for cleaning, these sturdy 4" cells can either be immersed and wet soaked or pressure washed, provided they are not subjected to extraordinarily high pressure flow rates. Fabricated from 16 gauge aluminized steel, the Moisture Separator Cells are available in full (24 x 24) and half (12 x 24) nominal sizes. The 4" Moisture Separator Cell is equipped with a primary 2" moisture arrestor and a secondary 2" channel collector for the accumulating fluent. Once pooled, the water or fluid is transferred to the equipment section via a series of drain holes that channel the moisture. PERFORMANCE DATA When operated at 500, the MSC is over 99% efficient on droplet sizes of 20 microns or greater. The cell is 91% efficient on droplet sizes of 10 microns or larger, and 58% effective on moistures sized at 4 microns or bigger. Consult FILTER-LINE Series MSC for additional information and performance data on these cells. MODEL NUMBER KEY FLMSCG42424 Insert model number extension to complete model number.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MOISTURE SEPARATOR SECTION I. II. III. IV. V. READ ENTIRE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT. PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION OPERATIONS A. B. C. D. E. Separate all cartons marked Filters from material received. Store Filters in clean, dry place until system is ready to be operated. DO NOT OPEN CARTONS AT THIS TIME. Distribute filter units as required to system locations. (See markings on each housing.) Carefully uncrate filter housings. Systems must allow for proper access to filters for routine servicing. General rule is to use housing depth. System must provide for firm, level and plumb installation for filter housing. DO NOT DISTORT FILTER HOUSING. INSTALLATION OF FILTER HOUSING A. B. C. Installation of housing can be attained by anchoring duct work to and from housing flange. Housing flange(s) should be caulked to deter air by-pass. Housing is supplied with an air flow label to ensure proper orientation. Connection to 1/2 IPS drain(s) from bottom pan to be made at this time. FILTER INSTALLATION A. B. C. D. Open access door. Slide appropriate filter into housing tracks. Quantities and Model Numbers of filters are listed on unit ID nameplate. Secure access door. The use of a manometer is recommended to check pressure drop of final filter for determining when renewal of filter should be made. CAREFULLY REVIEW ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS. CLEANING/MAINTENANCE OF MOISTURE SEPARATOR CELLS A. B. C. D. E. Remove Filter(s) from unit. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse and flush with clean water. Can be steam cleaned. Remove excess water by blowing out with air hose if necessary. Replace filter(s) in unit.
