Replace Parker P56C-AN Coalescer
The Parker P56C-AN is a higher-flow coalescing filter cartridge within Parker's lineup, suitable for medium to large industrial compressed air systems or process gas applications requiring greater flow capacity. It is designed to provide the same high filtration efficiency as the P3C series while meeting larger system air volume demands.
Lefilter High-Performance Alternative: LF-P56C-AN
For users needing to replace the Parker P56C-AN, Lefilter's LF-P56C-AN cartridge is an engineering-verified, reliable choice. We ensure it has matching flow-pressure drop characteristics and exceptional liquid-gas separation performance.
Detailed Technical Specifications:

Added Value of LF-P56C-AN:
Accurate Flow Matching: Through CFD analysis and physical testing, we optimize internal flow paths to ensure optimal pressure drop and efficiency at your system's design flow rate.
Extended Service Life: The optimized media gradient design captures contaminants of different sizes more effectively in layers, slowing pressure rise and extending cartridge change intervals.
System Adaptation Consulting: Our engineers can help assess if pre-filter configuration adjustments are needed when switching from Parker OEM to Lefilter cartridges to maximize system benefits.
Suitable Systems:
Large central air compressor station aftertreatment piping
Filtration before natural gas pressure regulation or metering
Process gas purification in chemical processes
Dehydration and oil removal before sterile air filtration for fermenters
