Air Filter, Oil Filter, Air Oil Separator
- Atmospheric
air contains already in its origin impurities like : dust, various
forms of hydrocarbons and water in form of humidity, which once sucked
by the compressor is compressed and delivered to the line together with
eventual oily particles. These polluting agents, interacting among each
other, may generate abrasive and corrosive emulsions able to damage the
distribution line, the pneumatic devices and the product itself.
- Lubricated
rotary screw air compressors mix oil with the intake air to lubricate
the compressor's screws. After the air is compressed an air oil
separator separates compressed air from compressor oil. The compressor
lubricant collects at the bottom of the separator tank and the
compressed air continues to the air receiver. A standard rotary screw
separator reduces the lubricant entrained in the compressed air to 2-3
ppm. Under normal operating conditions an oil separator's service life
is 4,000 to 6,000 operating hours.
