The high water content of compressed air directly affects the air pipeline and the equipment that uses compressed air. How to make the compressed air water content produced by the air compressor reach a lowest point?
We all know that the atmosphere we breathe contains water, but this amount of water can change due to weather and environmental reasons. The water content in a dry environment is much lower than the water content of compressed air in a high humidity air, and the environment is a factor here. Air compressors come with air storage tanks and external air storage tanks as compressed air storage devices, most of the storage is compressed air, but the compressed air will contain a small amount of water and lubricating oil and other substances. Therefore, one of the reasons for the high water content of compressed air is how long it is used to discharge the water in the tank. If there is no discharge for a long time, the water stored in the tank is too much, and the water content of the compressed air will also increase.
There is also one of the most important reasons for the high water content of compressed air, such as the failure of post-processing equipment, precision oil mist filters, frozen dryers, adsorption dryers, drainers, etc. The main function of these devices is to filter the water, oil and other components of the compressed air, so that the compressed air becomes pure and free of impurities.
Such as pharmaceutical factories, toy factories and other manufacturers with higher requirements for compressed air, even the compressed air needs to be deodorized, disinfection and other processes to use. Back to the air compressor post-treatment equipment, the difference between the installation and the installation of these equipment is that the water content of the compressed air without the installation of post-treatment equipment is about 20%-30% at room temperature, and the water content of the compressed air after the installation of these post-treatment equipment will drop to about 0.01% to 1%. With good quality equipment, the water content will be reduced to a lower level or reach a high standard of compressed air without water. If the compressed air requirements are not high, the air compressor is used for an average of 10 hours a day, and it is recommended to discharge the water in the gas storage tank and precision oil mist filter every 3 days or so, which will reduce the water content of the compressed air. If used 24 hours a day, it is recommended to discharge once a day; Can also install drainage equipment such as automatic drainage water, regular air compressor maintenance can also reduce water content!
