Dryers.
Air dryers remove water vapor from compressed air, helping avoid potential issues such as equipment failures, corrosion, and product spoilage.
Unfiltered compressed air contains oils, aerosols, vapors, wear metals, moisture and other particles that can contaminate equipment and shorten the lifespan of machinery.
If left unchecked, excessive moisture and harmful contaminant carryover can cause costly damage to end-use equipment and products, and can ultimately lead to facility downtime, internal system corrosion, damaged tools, and large-scale air concerns.
Compressed air treatment allows your system to run more efficiently, while prolonging the life of the system by removing contaminants, and reducing rust and corrosion caused by wet, dirty air.
When atmospheric air is drawn into the air compressor, air and environmental impurities like moisture and dust particles are compressed. Though the methods within the air treatment process differ, the process itself generally remains the same. To controlcontamination and condenstation, you should treat your compressed air by following three basic steps:
First, the air passes through one or more types of air dryers to extract moisture from the compressed air. Air dryers can also follow air filters instead of preceding them.
Next, the dried air passes through one type of air line filter, filtering out particulates and aerosols. Air filters can also precede air dryers instead of following them.
Oil-water separators and/or drains are used to remove contaminants from the compressed air system. A drain is primarily used to remove moisture, while an oil-water separator is specifically designed to remove oil from the condensate.
As illustrated in the air treatment process, many devices work together to ensure high-quality compressed air, including:
Air dryers remove water vapor from compressed air, helping avoid potential issues such as equipment failures, corrosion, and product spoilage.
Following compression, filters remove particles, condensate, and oil from compressed air. Filter types include particulate filters, coalescing filters, and vapor removal filters.
This piece of equipment separates the oil from the condensate generated by compressed air, ensuring economical and environmentally-friendly condensate disposal.
Available in automatic, manual, and no-air-loss styles, drains allow the collected condensate to automatically drain away, ultimately preventing condensate reentry into the compressed air system.
