10 Micron Filter Bags for Data Center Chilled Water Filtration

Chilled water filter bags are available in polypropylene, polyester, and nylon media, along with specialty options. Filter bag rings and flanges are manufactured from steel, stainless steel, or polypropylene to match system hardware. Depending on your facility requirements, construction options include sewn or welded seams as well as monofilament or multifilament mesh designs to ensure reliable chemical and thermal performance.

These filter bags handle operating pressures up to 100 psi, depending on the specific bag and housing configuration. During operation, pressure differential ranges from 1 to 30 psi for felt bags and 1 to 35 psi for mesh bags based on media loading. Monitoring differential pressure ensures bags are replaced before flow capacity is restricted in your cooling system.

Maximum operating temperatures depend on the selected filter media. Felt filter bags withstand operating temperatures up to 200°F. For higher-temperature applications, mesh filter bags can handle temperatures up to 450°F. Selecting the proper media ensures dimensional integrity and filtration efficiency across continuous operating conditions in data center chilled and process water systems.

Flow capacities vary based on bag size, media, and micron rating. Felt filter bags support flow rates from 5 to 150 GPM per bag across standard configurations. Mesh filter bags deliver flow rates between 5 and 175 GPM per bag. Multi-bag housings can be utilized to achieve higher cumulative flow rates for large mission-critical cooling loops.

Filter bags are offered in standard industry configurations including #1, #2, #3, and #4 sizes. They can be configured with steel, stainless steel, or polypropylene rings, as well as plastic flanges. Optional handles and tabs are available to simplify installation, removal, and routine replacement within compatible bag filter vessels.

Both felt and mesh filter bags offer a dirt-holding capacity ranging from 1 to 15 lbs. per bag. The actual dirt holding depends on the bag size, media type, and the contaminant load present in the chilled water loop. Felt bags utilize dense depth filtration, whereas mesh bags provide precise surface filtration for defined particle retention.
