What are the dangers of a non-rotating precision filter in an air compressor?

The precision filter of an air compressor is an important component in the air compressor system. The lack of a precision filter may cause the following effects:

1. The oil contamination in the compressed air cannot be separated and filtered as much as possible, resulting in long-term accumulation of flammable substances in the system pipelines. In a high-temperature environment, oil contamination easily vaporizes and generates acidic substances, which corrodes the inside of the unit and shortens the service life of the equipment.

2. The moisture in the compressed air cannot be separated and discharged as much as possible, resulting in an increase in the moisture content in the compressed air. This will lead to rust and corrosion of internal parts of the unit, especially in low-temperature environments, which are prone to ice blockage and further damage to the pipelines.

3. The number of solid particles such as dust particles and other impurities in the compressed air increases, which accelerates the wear and corrosion of internal parts of the unit and shortens the service life of the parts. In severe cases, it may cause pipe blockage and equipment leakage.

4. For industries with high requirements on compressed gas quality, such as the food and spraying industries, the lack of precision filters is disadvantageous. Compressed gas of low quality or with too much water content will lead to substandard product quality, increase the rate of defective products, and bring losses to the enterprise. Especially for the food industry, food issues are very important and closely related to the interests of consumers. The food industry has particularly strict quality requirements for compressed gas, which must be oil-free and water-free to meet production requirements.

Therefore, when using an air compressor, if possible, it must be equipped with a precision filter. This will not only improve the qualification rate of the company’s products, but also extend the service life of the unit.
