- Page 5 Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow. iv) GESTRA products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.
- Page 6 Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid danger of burns. 1.9 Tools and consumables Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and/or consumables available. Use only genuine GESTRA replacement parts. 1.10 Protective clothing Consider whether you and/or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and dangers to eyes and face.

- Page 8 2 General product information 2.1 General description The MPC range of (self-relieving) high efficiency oil removing filter/regulators provide very high quality compressed air, with accurate pressure control, for pneumatic actuators and general purpose systems. How efficient is the MPC product range? The MPC coalescing filters when tested to BS 3928 or the D.O.P.
- Page 9 Operating pressure ranges All regulators can be adjusted to zero pressure, or above the figures shown. The operating range is marked on the unit: 0.2 - 2.0 bar g (White) 0.3 - 4.0 bar g (Pink) 0.7 - 9.0 bar g (Black) Operating limits Polycarbonate bowl 10 bar g @ 50 °C...
- Page 10 (Fig. 3) The FK21 fixing kit is required to mount the MPC2 onto the GESTRA range of PN pneumatic actuators. The fixing kit and aluminium mounting ring are optional extras and must also be specified when placing an order.
- Page 11 Installation 3.3.1 The unit should be fitted in horizontal pipework with the bowl vertically downwards. 3.3.2 Adequate space should be provided around the unit to allow easy access for routine servicing requirements (see Figure 4 for withdrawal distances). 3.3.3 Connect the unit so that the airflow is in the direction indicated by the arrow on the body. 3.3.4 The unit should be installed as close as possible to the equipment it is serving.
- Page 12 4 Operation 4.1 Operating principals These units filter out solid contaminants and remove oil and water liquids and aerosols, by coalescing. Contaminated air flows to the inside of the filter cartridge. The cartridge contains a labyrinth of micro fibres which will trap solid particles down to sub micron size. Fine liquid mist and aerosols on their journey through the depth of the element, will strike one or other of the fibres and will be retained on them by inter-molecular forces.
