Compressed Air Facts
 Compressed air has applications in
virtually all industries. Its uses range from being an efficient, reliable
source of pneumatic power in manufacturing plants to operating critical
instrumentation in process industries. In every application, air quality can be
adversely affected by contaminants like water, oil and dirt. The result is
lower productivity, increased maintenance, and higher operating costs. For
these reasons, air system designers must recognize and understand the types of
contaminants they face. The most prevalent contaminant is water. Water, in the
form of vapor, enters the air system at the compressor intake, and is
concentrated to the saturation point by compression.
As cooling occurs downstream of the compressor, the moisture in this saturated
air condenses into harmful liquid water. Still another contaminant, oil, is
injected into air systems by lubricated compressors. Many gallons of oil can enter an air
system over the course of a year in this way. Dirt takes many forms in air
systems since it enters from several different sources. Small particles of
atmospheric dust not removed by intake filters are concentrated by compression.
Pipescale forms over time by the gradual rusting process. Hot-running,
lubricated compressors create fine particles of carbon dust when lubricants
break down. Today's air system designer is faced with the challenge of
improving air quality through the selection of drying and filtering equipment
that is best suited to removing these contaminants. Judgments must be made
based on the particular application, the degree of dryness and cleanliness
required, and the types of equipment available. That's where we can help. Van

and filtering needs. Contact sales1@powerplantfilters.com for
