Air compressor compressed gas with water

There are many reasons for the presence of moisture in the compressed gas of the air compressor. The following is a detailed explanation and summary:

large moisture content in the air:

the air itself contains a certain amount of moisture, that is, the "humidity" of the air ". When the air is compressed, it will reach a supersaturated state, causing the moisture in the air to separate out and become a liquid.

If the environment in the machine room is too humid, or due to seasonal reasons, the water content in the air may exceed the normal range.

The compression process produces water:

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, which is discharged with the compressed air.

The air storage tank can not only provide a buffer and storage space for compressed air, but also play a role in cooling the compressed air. 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, liquefying a large amount of water vapor and forming condensed water.

Drain valve failure:

the automatic drainer of the air compressor itself or the automatic drainer of the air storage tank may be blocked, resulting in the accumulation of water that should have been discharged in the air compressor, making the discharged air contain water.

Dryer failure:

if the corresponding dryer is not installed, or the dryer does not work normally, or the drying equipment fails, and it is not detected and processed in time, the compressed gas of the air compressor will not be processed in time, and it will still contain a lot of water after removal.

Solution:

ensure that the humidity of the air compressor working environment is moderate and avoid being too humid.

Check and clean the drain valve and dryer regularly to ensure their normal operation.

In the boot before use, should first drain the condensate.

Install or adjust drying equipment as required to ensure the dryness of the compressed air is as required.

Attention

specific air moisture standards may vary by industry, application, and region. Therefore, when selecting and using drying equipment and compressed air, it is recommended to refer to relevant industry standards, product specifications and application requirements to ensure compliance with requirements and obtain the best performance and results.
