There is water and oil at the air end of the air compressor system.

The problem of water and oil at the gas end of the air compressor system may be caused by the following reasons:

sources and treatment methods of 1. water

humidity in the air: The moisture in the compressed air mainly comes from the humidity contained in the air itself. When air is compressed, it will reach a supersaturated state, causing the moisture in the air to separate out as a liquid. Therefore, the content of moisture in compressed air is closely related to the humidity of the air.

Treatment of water:

use a rough-treated gas-water separator, a gas tank or a freeze dryer to initially remove moisture.

In order to achieve lower dew point values, such as -40°C or lower, it may be necessary to add adsorption dryers.

Source and treatment of 2. oil

source of oil:

compressor lubrication system: Ordinary screw air compressor needs to be cooled and lubricated by lubricating oil when the rotor is working, so the compressed air will contain oil.

Atmospheric environment: because the air compressor industry will be the national standard C6 above the molecules are called oil, so part of the oil in the air may also come from the atmospheric environment.

Treatment of oil:

use oil removal filters for liquid oil.

Adopt activated carbon filter by adsorption.

Using catalytic oxidation oil removal equipment, this equipment can completely decompose the oil into water and carbon dioxide through catalytic oxidation technology.

3. other considerations

exhaust temperature: If the exhaust temperature is too low, the moisture and oil in the air may not be fully separated. In this case, the cooling system should be adjusted to ensure a moderate exhaust temperature.

Oil and gas separator status: The failure of the oil and gas separator will cause a large amount of oil mixed in the outlet gas. Therefore, the oil and gas separator should be inspected and maintained regularly.

Oil usage: excessive use of oil may also lead to excessive oil mixing in the air. Therefore, the amount of oil used should be monitored and ensure that it is within the normal range.

In summary, the problem of water and oil at the air end of the air compressor system may be due to a variety of factors, including humidity in the air, the lubrication system of the compressor, and the amount of oil used. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to take a series of treatment measures, including the use of various water and oil removal equipment and the adjustment and optimization of the operating parameters of the compressor.
