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.

    Installation environment for oil-free air compressor

    Now many enterprises with high gas quality will choose oil-free screw air compressor. Therefore, the quality of oil-free screw air compressor is more important for screw air compressor. However, there are many factors that affect the quality of compressed air, not only the air compressor itself, but also the poor environment and improper operation may lead to the decline of compressed air quality and fail to meet the production requirements. Therefore, if you want to make your oil-free screw air compressor continuously produce high-quality compressed air for you, then you must ensure that you give him a good working environment. So what are the requirements for the use of oil-free screw air compressor to the environment?

    Optimization of air compressor control process parameters

    Therefore, the suction pressure of the compressor can be appropriately increased, and a high-efficiency cyclone inlet separator can be added in one stage of suction to further eliminate the resistance of the air inlet pipe network, and a higher suction pressure can be obtained while ensuring sufficient processing air. The pressure drop between the 1.2 compressor sections is reduced. The pressure drop between the compressor stages is also an important reason for the power consumption of the compressor.
