Why do air compressors need post-processing equipment

When the air compressor produces compressed air, it is basically equipped with a complete set of post-processing equipment. The post-processing equipment of the air compressor is composed of air storage tanks, refrigeration dryers, precision filters, etc. So everyone knows why the air compressor needs post-processing equipment? Can the air compressor not need post-processing equipment? What harm will it cause?

　　 1. Compressed air is not only a power source, but also a process gas with multiple uses. Its application range covers petroleum, chemical, textile, electronics, food, medicine, precision machinery, instrumentation and other industries. The compressed air directly output from the air compressor contains a large amount of mixed impurities such as water vapor, oil vapor and dust. If these impurities are not removed by appropriate methods (post-processing), the compressed air containing these impurities is directly delivered to the gas equipment. , It will cause great harm to the air supply system.

　　 2. After the compressed air is condensed, liquid water droplets will be generated, causing rust or corrosion of metal parts, valves, and pipes, causing blocking or abrasion of moving parts, and malfunction of pneumatic components or air leakage.

　　 3. Deteriorated oil will deteriorate the sealing material or contaminate the final product, resulting in poor product quality.

Fourth, the air compressor is operating for a long time, and the system will continuously produce wear debris, rust residue and oil carbides. The solid matter will block the filter element, filter screen, valve, etc.; affect the movement of moving parts, or Make wear and tear faster.

　　5. Poor quality of the intake air will greatly reduce the reliability and service life of the pneumatic system. Especially industries that have high requirements for compressed air, such as hospitals, pharmaceuticals, food, instruments, precision machinery, etc., must be equipped with a complete post-processing equipment system.

In summary, the post-processing equipment of the air compressor is also very important. It can filter out oil, water, debris and other debris in the compressed air, and deliver high-quality and reliable compressed air to the terminal air to meet The needs of production work in various industries.
