Can the compressed gas of the water lubricated air compressor be used directly?

Can the compressed air of the water lubricated air compressor be used directly without treatment?

The exact answer is no.

The air compressed by the air compressor is cooled by the rear cooler. The air-water separator is separated and the buffer tank is stabilized. The relative humidity is 100%, and there will be solid particles and other impurities. This compressed air cannot be used directly and needs to be dried and purified.

Therefore, we need to be equipped with the corresponding air compressor after-treatment equipment. For example: gas tank, pipeline filter, dryer, etc.

1. gas tank

the gas storage tank has three main functions. One is to store compressed air to meet the sudden increase in gas consumption of gas equipment and ensure stable gas consumption. The second is to stabilize the air pressure and eliminate the pulsation of the air flow in the pipeline. The third is cooling and filtering, and the temperature of the compressed air entering the air storage tank is reduced, so as to achieve the initial cooling effect.

2. pipeline filter

the function of the pipeline filter is to filter out the moisture, dust and oil in the compressed air to the greatest extent. According to the degree of filtration, the pipeline filter can be divided into primary filtration and precision filtration.

3. dryer

there are three ways to dry the compressed air of the air compressor, namely, pressurization, cooling and adsorption. The commonly used dryers on the market are freeze dryers (also known as cold dryers) and adsorption dryers. Their role is to remove water, oil, and dust, and to protect equipment and improve product quality. But not all industries need to configure adsorption dryer, only food, pharmaceutical and other industries will use adsorption dryer.

Reminder: In order to pursue the stability and quality of compressed air, we must choose high-quality air compressor after treatment.
