Improvements to filtration and vessels such as for filtration and coalescing of gas streams are shown. A filter element with a partial treated region and untreated region such as providing different surface energies or other filtration characteristics are provided. Various keying arrangements for compatibility and/or rotational locking are shown between the filtration vessel, a tubular coalescing baffle, and/or filter element. The tubular coalescing baffle also may include non-louvered pore structure, which provides for more even flow in a two stage type filtration vessel to prevent premature exiting and reduction of flow velocities along the second stage, and/or may additionally or alternatively include drainage apertures such as drain slot formed along a gravitational bottom or otherwise to facilitate additional drainage of coalesced liquid as opposed to letting such liquid be forced through fluid velocity toward the open end of the tubular baffle.
A filter element configured for receipt into a keyed tubular baffle having a tubular extension defining a plurality of pores, the tubular extension comprises first and second open ends, a cap portion coupled to one of the first and second open ends, the cap portion comprising an end plate with a post projecting from one side that provides a hollow receiver, a key projection along the post and projecting inwardly in the hollow receiver, the filter element comprising:
A filter element, adapted for receipt into a tubular baffle that has a post with a cavity with an inward projecting detent, the filter element comprising:
A filter element, comprising:
