Adsorption traps are containers with a stainless steel insert which can be filled with a number of different adsorbents thereby offering a high adsorbing capacity for vapors, water vapor in particular.

Advantages to the User

• Vacuum-tight steel housing
• Stainless steel, degassable up to 300 °C (572 °F).
• Different adsorbents and separating elements can be used.
• Quick to replace
• Easy to disassemble

Technical Information

The adsorption traps have been developed specially for use in connection with oil sealed pumps. They are capable of retaining oil vapors discharged from forevacuum pumps & are at the same time in the position to separate vapors (water vapor) coming from the side of the process. Through the use of adsorption traps & a suitable adsorbent, a vacuum free of hydrocarbons can be produced. The stainless steel inserts with the corresponding adsorbent can be heated in a drying cabinet at 300 °C (572 °F) for regeneration. Depending on the type of adsorbent and operating pressure, the pumping speed of the pumps is reduced.
