Additional gas filtration
When site conditions introduce moisture, oil, or other contaminants into the gas line, use a 3-stage
coalescing filtration system, such as the Eliminizer filter kit (part number 128647) available from
Hypertherm distributors. A 3-stage filtering system works as shown below toclean contaminants
from the gas supply.
The filtering system should be installed between the quick-disconnect coupler and the power
supply.
80 – 100 psi (5.5 – 6.9 bar) gas supply
(maximum 135 psi or 9.3 bar) with a flow
rate of at least 350 scfh (165.2 l/min). The
recommended flow rate and pressure is
360 scfh @ 90 psi (170 l/min @ 6.2 bar).
Connect the gas supply
Connect the gas supply to the power supply using an inert-gas hose with a 3/8 inch (9.5mm)
internal diameter and a 1/4NPT quick-disconnect coupler, or a 1/4 NPT x G-1/4 BSPP (CE units)
quick-disconnect coupler.
