Description
With any brand of portable and stationary screw compressor unit. Compressed air flowing from a diesel compressor has a high temperature of approximately 90°C. At such a temperature, compressed air contains a large amount of moisture in the form of steam vapour. If an aftercooler and cyclone condensate separator are not used, compressed air can add up to 21.5 litres of water per hour into the system with a compressor operating at 5.7 m3/min capacity and a pressure of 7 bar. ACP/ACE aftercoolers of compress air cool compressed air to a temperature 3° C – 10° C higher than the ambient temperature. Once the air is cooled, vapour moisture condenses and up to 95% of condensed moisture may be eliminated from the system.
