Air compressor post-processing equipment introduction

Why should air compressors carry out post-processing? Because the air compressed by the air compressor is cooled by the rear cooler, the gas-water separator is separated, and the buffer tank is generally in a saturated state, its relative humidity is 100%, and there will be impurities such as oil and solid particles, this compressed air can not be used directly, and it needs to be dried and purified.

Therefore, we need to be equipped with the corresponding air compressor post-processing equipment. Such as: gas storage tanks, pipeline filters, dryers and so on.


First, gas storage tank. The gas storage tank has three main functions, one is to store compressed air to meet the demand of sudden increase in gas consumption of gas equipment and ensure stable gas consumption. The second is to stabilize the air pressure and eliminate the pulsation of the air flow in the pipeline. The third is cooling filtration, and the temperature of the compressed air entering the gas storage tank is reduced, so as to achieve the initial cooling effect.


Second, the main function of the prefilter because the air in the atmosphere contains many solid particles, oil molecules, dust and impurities. The concentration of solid particles and other impurities in the compressed air will be greatly increased. At this point, a pre-filter is needed to purify the compressed air. The main function of the pre-filter is to remove some liquid water and oil, and particles with a diameter greater than 1μM. Whether other shell and tube chillers or freezer chillers are used for the back-end drying equipment, a pre-filter is required. Otherwise, once the particles such as rust on the pipeline enter the evaporator, it will greatly reduce the working efficiency of the refrigerator and even damage the evaporator.


Third, the dryer. There are three ways for air compressors to dry compressed air, namely pressure, cooling and adsorption. The commonly used dryers on the market are frozen dryers (also known as cold dryers) and adsorption dryers. Their function is to remove water, oil and dust, which can not be underestimated in protecting equipment and improving product quality. However, not all industries need to configure adsorption dryers, only food, pharmaceutical and other industries will use adsorption dryers.


The post-processing equipment is a very important part of the air compressor system, which has a great impact on the performance and service life of the air compressor. The post-treatment equipment is mainly used to deal with impurities, moisture and oil in the air to ensure the purity and dryness of air quality, so as to improve the working efficiency and stability of the air compressor.

First of all, the quality of the post-processing equipment directly affects the work efficiency of the air compressor. If the quality of the post-processing equipment is not good, it will lead to impurities and moisture in the air can not be effectively filtered and separated, and the air entering the air compressor will contain a large amount of impurities and moisture, which will lead to the decrease of the working efficiency of the air compressor, accelerate the wear and aging of the air compressor, and thus reduce the service life of the air compressor. If the quality of the post-processing equipment is good, it can effectively filter and separate the impurities and moisture in the air, making the air quality more pure and dry, so as to improve the working efficiency and stability of the air compressor, and extend the service life of the air compressor.

Secondly, the quality of the post-processing equipment will also affect the safety of the air compressor. If the quality of the post-processing equipment is not good, it will lead to the oil in the air can not be effectively separated and filtered, and the air entering the air compressor will contain a large amount of oil, which will increase the risk of fire and explosion of the air compressor, thus posing a threat to the safety of personnel and equipment. If the quality of the post-processing equipment is good, it can effectively separate and filter the oil in the air, making the air quality more

Add purity and safety, thereby improving the safety and reliability of air compressors. Finally, the quality of the post-processing equipment will also affect the maintenance cost of the air compressor. If the quality of the post-treatment equipment is not good, it will lead to impurities and moisture in the air can not be effectively separated and filtered, which will lead to accelerated wear and aging of the air compressor, thereby increasing the maintenance cost of the air compressor. If the quality of the post-processing equipment is good, the impurities and moisture in the air can be effectively separated and filtered, making the air quality more pure and dry, thereby reducing the loss and aging of the air compressor, and reducing the maintenance cost of the air compressor.

In order to ensure the work efficiency, safety and maintenance costs of air compressors, we should choose high-quality post-processing equipment, and regularly maintain and replace the post-processing equipment to ensure the purity and dryness of air quality, so as to improve the work efficiency and stability of air compressors and extend the service life of air compressors.
