The necessity of air source system and its treatment

A system composed of equipment that generates, processes, and stores compressed air is called an air source system. A typical air source system consists of the following parts: air compressor, rear cooler, filter (including pre-filter, oil-water separator, pipeline filter, oil removal filter, deodorization filter, sterilization filter) Etc.), stabilized gas storage tanks, dryers (refrigerated or adsorption type), automatic drainage and sewage devices, gas pipelines, pipeline valves, instruments, etc. The above-mentioned equipment is combined into a complete gas source system according to the different needs of the process flow.

　　 The compressed air output from the air compressor contains a lot of harmful impurities. Failure to remove these impurities by proper methods will cause great harm to the air supply system:

Deteriorated lubricating oil (oil) will deteriorate rubber, plastics, and sealing materials, block small holes, cause valve action failure, pollute products, moisture and dust will cause metal devices and pipelines to rust and corrode, and cause moving parts to jam or wear , Make the pneumatic components malfunction and leak, moisture and dust will also block the throttle orifice or filter; in cold areas, the freezing of moisture will cause the pipeline to freeze or crack.

　　 Due to poor air quality, the reliability and service life of the pneumatic system are greatly reduced. The losses caused by this often greatly exceed the cost and maintenance of the air source treatment device. Therefore, the correct selection of the air source treatment system is absolutely necessary.
