Altec AIR AC-0085 — 85 CFM Compressed Air Filter, 3/4" NPT

Select the filtration grade needed for your compressed air system. The Altec AIR AC-0085 A Series filter is rated for 85 SCFM at 100 PSIG and uses 3/4" NPT connections. Choose X5, X1, XA, or AC from the grade selector.

Key Features

• 85 SCFM rated flow at 100 PSIG.
• 3/4" NPT connections.
• Four grade options for staged coalescing filtration or activated-carbon adsorption.
• Selected filter element installed.
• Automatic float drain on the coalescing configuration.
• Serviceable housing with replaceable grade-specific element.
• Differential pressure gauge indicator.

Overview & Applications

Use the selected grade to help protect tools, pneumatic equipment, and downstream processes from the contaminants it is designed to remove. Plan filtration as part of the complete system, including bulk-water separation, drying, and staged filtration where needed.

Grade Selection Guide

AC identifies the activated-carbon grade in the option selector. The AC prefix in the complete filter model identifies its coalescing configuration; confirm the full model and grade suffix when ordering.

Technical Specifications

Temperature limits matter: X5, X1, and XA coalescing configurations with automatic drains are rated to 176°F. AC activated-carbon grade has a 122°F maximum, with 77°F maximum recommended operating temperature. These standard coalescing configurations are not suitable directly upstream of 200°F RHT inlet air without appropriate cooling and temperature confirmation.

Replacement Elements & Related Products

Order the E00700105 family in the grade needed for this housing:

• E00700105-X5 — 5-micron coalescing
• E00700105-X1 — 1-micron coalescing
• E00700105-XA — 0.01-micron coalescing
• E00700105-AC — Activated carbon

Compare complete Altec AIR pre-filter and after-filter kits for a matched refrigerated-dryer installation. Confirm the specific dryer and operating conditions.

What's Included

• Altec AIR AC-0085 filter housing in the selected grade configuration.
• Selected grade element installed.
• Standard drain and applicable indicator supplied for this model.

Additional filter stages, replacement service elements, joining hardware, brackets, and installation piping are sold separately unless specified.

Maintenance & Warranty

Altec's published service intervals are 8,000 hours / 12 months for X5, X1, and XA, and 1,000 hours / 6 months for AC. Plan replacement at the applicable interval and earlier when contamination, differential pressure, or air-quality requirements warrant it. Differential pressure alone does not establish remaining activated-carbon adsorption capacity.

Contact us for applicable manufacturer filter warranty terms. Installing an individual filter does not automatically establish extended dryer warranty eligibility; the complete qualifying filtration arrangement and program requirements must be met.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete filter or a replacement element?

This listing is for the AC-0085 complete coalescing filter configuration with the selected grade installed. Replacement E00700105 grade-specific elements are sold separately.

Which grade should I choose?

X5 provides 5-micron filtration, X1 provides 1-micron filtration, and XA provides 0.01-micron coalescing filtration. AC is activated carbon for oil-vapor and odor adsorption after suitable upstream filtration. Select the grade to meet your process requirements.

Will this filter remove water vapor?

Coalescing filtration removes liquid aerosols and particles; it does not replace an air dryer for removing water vapor or controlling pressure dew point. Use a suitable dryer where required.

Does the AC grade replace a coalescing pre-filter?

No. Activated carbon is used after suitable upstream particle and coalescing filtration. Protect it from liquid contamination and follow the manufacturer's installation requirements.

What pressure and temperature limits apply?

The coalescing configurations with automatic drains have a 232 PSIG maximum working pressure. X5, X1, and XA have a 176°F maximum. AC has a 122°F maximum, with 77°F maximum recommended. Verify the exact assembly nameplate and instructions.

How often should I replace the element?

Published intervals are 8,000 hours / 12 months for X5, X1, and XA, and 1,000 hours / 6 months for AC. Service earlier when operating conditions require it. Activated-carbon exhaustion is not reliably shown by differential pressure alone.

Which replacement element fits?

AC-0085 uses the E00700105 element family. Select the grade suffix that matches your required filtration and confirm the housing nameplate before ordering.

Can this filter be installed directly on a hot compressor discharge?

Confirm the actual air temperature and filter rating first. Standard 176°F coalescing filters and lower-temperature activated-carbon elements must not be assumed suitable for 200°F discharge air. Plan cooling and filtration placement for the installation.
