PED-certified filter tower housing for Nardi high-pressure breathing air installations.
The Filter PAC1 tower is the pressure vessel that holds the replacement filter cartridge. It includes a mechanical separator that spin-dries incoming air before filtration. Paired with a Nardi PAC1 cartridge, the tower delivers DIN EN 12021 and EN ISO 8573-1 compliant purification at 500 L/min throughput.
Configuration options
Inlet orientation. Left or right, selected to match your compressor's plumbing geometry. Outlet is fixed at the top of the tower.
Pressure-Maintaining Valve. The PMV holds back-pressure in the tower so air dwells longer in the filter media. Recommended for breathing-air applications where saturation control matters. The Without-PMV configuration is offered for industrial use cases where downstream regulation handles pressure.
Mounting. Freestanding bolts to the compressor frame or floor. Wall-Mount comes pre-fitted to a wall bracket for fixed installations and is offered only in the With-PMV configuration. Wall-Mount is supplied without a safety valve (refer to your installation's existing safety relief).
Cartridge sold separately
The PAC1 tower requires a Nardi PAC1 replacement cartridge — Electric (MC-AC media) or Gasoline / Diesel (MC-AC-HO media with Hopcalite for CO conversion). See the Nardi Filter PAC1 Replacement Filter Cartridge.
Compatibility
The PAC1 is the standard purification tower on Pacific E, EG, P, PG, C (16/23/27/30), DY (23/27/30), and M (23/27/30) compressors. Note that Pacific compressors ship with a PAC tower integrated — the standalone tower listed here is for installations that need a separate freestanding or wall-mount tower, or for tower replacement. For higher throughput, see the PAC2 Tower (1000 L/min) or PAC3 Tower (1000 L/min, expandable to 2000 L/min in double-tower configuration).
