How does the Truma LPG gas filter for motorhomes work?

The Truma LPG gas filter is fitted between the high-pressure gas hose and the gas pressure regulator.

The LPG gas and the exhaust vapor residues flow through the filter cartridge in the housing. These are filtered out and drip onto the Truma filter pad.

What does the gas filter filter?

The gas may contain oily particles such as olefins, kerosenes and hydrocarbon compounds. If the connected appliances, such as the refrigerator, are now in operation, the particles can become trapped in the gas system and its components, such as the gas pressure regulator, valves and pipes , clogging them and impairing their function.

When do I need a gas filter?

If LPG gas is used in the vehicle, the use of a motorhome gas filter is recommended. The cost of a motorhome gas filter is disproportionate to problems and defects in the appliances or motorhome gas system itself. The Truma gas filter, for example, filters up to 99.9% of aerosols out of the gas.
