Kaeser E46KD is the replacement KD grade particulate element for the Kaeser F46KD in-line compressed air filter, which catches dry dust and desiccant fines after an adsorption dryer. It is used on Kaeser F46 series in-line compressed air filters. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
The same part is also sold as Kaeser 901545.0.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Applications & use cases
After a desiccant dryer
Desiccant beads wear and shed fine dust. A KD element after the dryer stops it reaching valves, cylinders and instruments.
Rising pressure drop
Particulate elements load up with dust over time. Change it when the differential pressure gauge reaches the red zone or once a year.
Dry air only
A KD element is not made to coalesce oil or water. Fit a KB or KE element where liquid is present.
Fitting tips
Isolate and vent the housing, fit the new element with its O ring and check the seal before repressurising.
