Sources of compressed air pollutants

Air compressors suck in and compress a large amount of atmosphere. They continue to fill the system while bringing in extremely small pollutants. These pollutants include: water vapor, atmospheric dirt, dust and pollen particles, oil vapor, and microorganisms.

In addition to the pollutants inhaled from the atmosphere, the air compressor will also mix a small amount of oil into the compressed air flow during the air compression process. This oil may exist in the form of liquid oil, aerosols and oil vapor. It is also worth noting that although so-called oil-free compressors do not directly inject oil into the airflow, they still compress the same contaminated air like an air compressor, so any oil vapor in the surrounding environment will still be affected. It is compressed and enters the downstream system. After the compression stage, the aftercooler cools the air, which can condense any water vapor and mix it into the compressed air stream in the form of liquid water or aerosol.

Why need desiccant air filter?

Air Compressor Filter is essential for any air compressor for many reasons. Providing your pneumatic tools with clean air will extend their lifespan significantly.

When you use a compressor, every cubic foot of air that passes through contains millions of foreign particles, all of which can collect and damage or inhibit your tools. These particles include water droplets, oils, dirt, dust, bacteria and, potentially, pieces of heavy metals, such as lead, mercury and cadmium.

If the air passes through unfiltered, it can cause contamination of the control valves, swell the protective seals and cause premature wear, all potentially leading to equipment failure and increase repaired cost.

By implementing the proper filtration system for protection and purification, you can reduce machine downtime and overall cost, as well as limit the amount of necessary maintenance, repair and energy use. But you also need to maintain the filters for the best results, as clogged or worn filters can cause a significant pressure drop, making your compressor less effective.
