What are the functions of the air compressor dewatering device

The compressed air produced by the compressor is not pure. This is because the air compressor itself contains lubricating oil. During the compression work, part of the lubricating oil must be mixed into the compressed air. In addition, the natural air itself contains some solid particles and water. When this unpurified gas is directly used in the pneumatic circuit, it will cause some malfunctions in the pneumatic circuit, damage the pneumatic components, reduce the service life of the components, and reduce the production efficiency. Decline and even cause accidents. Therefore, Shaanxi Welltek Compressor kindly reminds you: Purifying these compressed gas to obtain pure compressed gas is an essential and important link in the pneumatic system.

　　 compressed air dewatering device, can make the air in the pipeline cool down, start to produce condensation, liquid water flows along the pipeline. Once it flows into the air drying filter/filter, a series of phenomena will occur.

　　 First of all, the condensation effect, the condenser or the first-stage filter element (stainless steel mesh) causes the water and air to change direction. This change makes the individual water droplets combine with each other and then gather in the condenser. The water droplets gradually become larger, and combine with other larger dirt to flow into the reservoir-central area under the action of gravity. The water containing dirt flows along the bottom and is discharged through the automatic drain valve in the drainage basin; a large amount of water (estimated 95% of the water) is discharged through this process.

　　 The second filtration process passes through the second filter element cotton fiber web. Change the direction of the airflow in or near the cotton fiber rope and rotate the airflow. This cotton fiber rope is supported by a stainless steel mesh and forms a vortex. At this time, the air is accelerated dozens of times, and the center of the vortex becomes a vacuum state just like a tornado. .

　　 Therefore, the water droplets that were not removed by the air dryer filter in the first filter are vaporized into a gas that has no adverse effect on the machine, and the tiny impurity oil droplets are also removed here.
