Disposal of Water Source in Compressed Air of Air Compressor

2026-04-10Views:

Many industries require compressed air to be anhydrous, but the air compressor often has water. What are the reasons for the air compressor to have water?

1. The automatic drainer of the air compressor itself is blocked or the automatic drainer of the air storage tank is blocked.

2, the post measures are not sufficient, in the compressor gas quality requirements are very strict production process, there will generally be precision filters and other facilities, the gas for the second action, further purification, until the production requirements.

3. Because there is always water in the air, the so-called humidity, it will become supersaturated after compression, and the moisture in the air will precipitate and become liquid. The moisture content in the compressed air is related to the humidity of the air. If the environment in the machine room is too humid, the water content in the air will exceed the use standard.

4. There is no corresponding dryer installed or there is no normal work after installation (the drying equipment fails, and the gas is not found and processed in time). Finally, the compressed gas of the air compressor is not processed in time, resulting in a large amount of water after removal. Can not meet the normal use requirements.

In order to ensure that the gas quality meets the production process, when your air compressor has water, you can timely investigate the cause according to the above situation, find out the fault and take remedial measures.

How is water produced?

When the air compressor is working, the internal temperature of the head is very high, and the moisture in the natural air inhaled will form water vapor during the operation of the air compressor. The air storage tank can not only provide a buffer and storage space for compressed air, but also reduce pressure and cool down. When compressed air passes through the air storage tank, the high-speed air flow hits the wall of the air storage tank to generate confluence, which makes the temperature drop rapidly in the air storage tank, so that a large amount of water vapor is liquefied and condensed water is formed. If you catch up with wet weather or winter, more condensation will form.

Air compressor does not drain

A customer asked, "What will happen if my air compressor hasn't been released for two months?"

if the water is not released, it will increase the water content in the compressed air, affect the gas quality, and affect the gas equipment at the back end; the oil and gas separation effect becomes worse, the pressure difference of the oil and gas separator becomes larger, and it will also cause corrosion of the machine parts.

When is the general drainage?

Regularly discharge condensate or install automatic drainers according to the specific use environment and working conditions. Mainly depends on the humidity of the inhaled air and the outlet temperature of the air compressor.

    Comparison of oil-free air compressor and oil-free air compressor

    Several advantages of oil-free air compressor, as well as the difference between oil-free air compressor and oil-free air compressor. Specifically, look at their differences: oil and no oil in the air compressor generally refer to the amount of oil content in the gas discharged from the exhaust port of the air compressor. Generally, the oil content of the oil machine is relatively large, and the oil content of the oil-free oil machine is 0.01ppm, so this oil content is used to distinguish the oil and no oil in the air compressor. There is also a full oil-free air compressor, it is not the use of oil lubrication, but the use of water lubrication, so the final discharge of the gas does not contain oil called full oil-free air compressor.
