CFBC Series Molded Block Cartridges
Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for CFBC Series Molded Block Cartridges. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product identification
CFBC Series cartridges are modified molded block cartridges featuring proprietary Fibredyne technology. This technology attaches powdered activated carbon onto a cellulose-free synthetic fiber matrix, combining the benefits of a sediment filter and a carbon block into a single cartridge.
Key features include:
- Nominal 0.5-micron rating
- 99.95% reduction of Cryptosporidium and Giardia Cysts
- Premium dirt-holding capacity
- High chlorine taste & odor and bad taste and odor reduction
- Low pressure drop over the entire life of the cartridge
- Up to three times the chlorine taste & odor and dirt-holding capacity compared to traditional 0.5 micron carbon blocks
- Will not release fines into the effluent stream due to a unique post-filtration layer.
CFBC Series cartridges are manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials, suitable for residential, food service, commercial, and industrial applications.
Operating limits
- Temperature Rating: 40°F-180°F (4.4°C-82.2°C)
Mechanical / hydraulic
| Model | Maximum Dimensions | Micron Rating (Nominal) | Initial ∆P @ Flow Rate | Chlorine Taste & Odor Reduction @ Flow Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CFBC-10 | 2⁷⁄₈" x 9¾" (73mm x 248mm) | 0.5 | 10.7 psi @ 1 gpm (0.7 bar @ 3.8 Lpm) | >20,000 gallons @ 1 gpm (>75,700 L @ 3.8 Lpm) |
| CFBC-20 | 2⁷⁄₈" x 20" (73mm x 508mm) | 0.5 | 10.7 psi @ 2 gpm (0.7 bar @ 7.6 Lpm) | >40,000 gallons @ 2 gpm (>75,700 L @ 3.8 Lpm) |
Product water
- Cyst Reduction: Greater than 99.95% reduction of Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba, and Toxoplasma cysts (based on tests using NSF Standard 53 protocol).
- Chlorine Reduction Capacity: Estimated capacity using 2 ppm free available chlorine at 0.5 ppm breakthrough.
Materials of Construction
- Filter Media: Bonded PAC
- End Caps: Polypropylene
- Netting: Polyethylene
- Gaskets: Santoprene™
Additional notes
- Warning: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit.
- Performance: Performance capacity depends on system design, flow rate, and other application conditions. Certain states require system registration or certification for health-related contaminant reduction claims.
- Fines: Cartridges may contain a very small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation, flush new cartridges with sufficient water to remove all traces of fines prior to using the water.
- Micron Rating Basis: Micron ratings are based on 85% or greater removal of a given particle size.
- Certifications: Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for material requirements only.
