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.

    Selection Conditions of Micro-oil Dry Water Lubricated Air Compressor

    When the air compressor needs oil-free air, it is usually selected from the micro-oil air compressor, dry air compressor and water lubricated air compressor. The temperature of the micro-oil is low, the gap between the yin and yang rotors is small, and the loss of gas is small. The dry-type oil-free yin-yang rotor has a large gap and large gas consumption. Because there is no oil, the airtight effect is not good. One of the functions of the oil in the micro-oil air compressor is the oil film, which plays a sealing role. Efficiency is better.

    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.
