Found water in your compressed air system?
This happens almost everywhere, but it can have serious consequences for your compressed air system and the quality of the end product. Causes of water in your compressed air system When the air is compressed, condensation occurs.
The moisture content is higher in warm and humid air, which means that more water comes out of the compressor. The compressed air contains less water when the pressure is higher and the easier it can be dried. Think of a sponge that is soaked with water; the more it is squeezed, the less water it contains.
Why add an air dryer to your compressed air system?
Many tools and equipment, driven by compressed air, cannot withstand water or moisture.Many processes, using compressed air, are processing products that cannot withstand water or moisture. Inherent to the compression cycle, free water is often formed in the compressed air circuit.
Untreated compressed air, which contains solid, liquid, and gaseous contaminants, poses a significant risk as it can damage your air system and your end product. Moisture, one of the main components of untreated air, can cause the following problems:
- Corrosion which leads to rust forming in the compressed air system.
- Wear and tear of the inner part of the compressed air line, leading to holes and thus to air leaks, resulting in a pressure drop.
- Contamination of the processed products
- Freeze in control lines in cold weather, leading to malfunction of the controls.
How does an air dryer work?
Air dryers remove moisture from the air. Each dryer system - desiccant dryer, refrigerated dryer, and membrane dryer, uses its own technique. The measurement of dry compressed air after processing is known as its 'dew point'. The lower the temperature of the dew point, the less amount of water vapor in the air. Dew point means the actual temperature where condensation begins. For example, if the dew point is -40 C° this means condensation starts only if compressed air temperature goes down to -40 C°.
