What Is Compressed Air?

Atmospheric air contains an amount of moisture increased by temperature. Suctioning of moist air by the compressor means that the moisture in the air goes into the air installation and is discharged through pneumatic devices therefrom.

Potential consequences of the condensation of moisture in the compressed air installation are the corrosion in the air lines and pneumatic devices and that the dust in the suctioned air and the oil from the compressor become a paste together with the moisture. Such paste may cause sectional constrictions and thereby a resistance in the compressed air lines. Moreover, it will cause clogging in pneumatic circuits, thus adversely affecting the operation of the devices.

The most prominent one of the problems which may occur with the compressed air lines and pneumatic devices are the increase in product defects as a result of the correct operation of the control systems at the expected rate and the increase in the maintenance costs of the pneumatic devices with air defects. Therefore, the compressed air coming out of the compressor must be dried.

What Is the Compressed Air Filter Good for?

There is not only moisture in the air suctioned from the atmosphere. Depending on the ambient conditions, it may contain various vapours and gases as well as dust and other particles. Although a significant portion of the dust and other particles is retained by the suction filter of the compressor, gases and vapours directly go to the installation with the compressed air. Therefore, such articles which may cause damage to the compressed air installation and pneumatic devices must be filtered.

A significant portion of the oil from the compressor may be retained by such filters which may be particularly installed past the oil-spray compressors. Thus, any problems which the oil may cause in the product or the pneumatic circuits may be avoided. At the same time, the oil coming out of the compressor is prevented from causing contamination by accumulating in the compressed air lines over time and from causing a loss of pressure by causing sectional constriction.
