The reason why the air compressor has water —Shared by Sollant

Many industries require that the compressed air of the air compressor needs to be water-free, but the air compressor often has the phenomenon of water. What are the reasons for the water in the air compressor?

When air is drawn into the air compressor and the pressure is increased during the compression process, the temperature of the air increases, which also increases the water vapor holding capacity. However, once the compressed air cools to a temperature below the saturation point, the water vapor condenses into liquid water.

  Air humidity

Because there is always water in the air, which is the so-called humidity, it will become supersaturated after compression, and the water in the air will be separated and become liquid. The moisture content in the compressed air is related to the humidity of the air. If the environment in the computer room is too humid, the water content in the air will exceed the usage standard.

• Compression temperature:

When an air compressor compresses air, it generates heat, causing the temperature of the compressed air to rise. If the temperature of the compressed air is not sufficiently cooled, or there is a problem with the cooling system, then during the cooling phase, the temperature drop can cause water vapor to condense into water.

• cooling system problem

The corresponding dryer is not installed or it does not work normally after installation (drying equipment fails and is not found and dealt with in time), and the gas compressed by the air compressor is not treated in time, resulting in a large amount of water after being removed, which cannot reach normal Requirements.

• Insufficient postmeasures

In the production process with strict requirements on the quality of compressor gas, there are generally facilities such as precision filters to perform secondary actions on the gas to further purify it until it meets the production requirements. In order to ensure that the gas quality meets the production process, when there is water in your air compressor, you can promptly check the cause according to the above situation, find out the fault, and take remedial measures

In order to avoid the adverse effects of moisture on the air compressor and the equipment used, it is necessary to take appropriate moisture treatment measures, such as using coolers, dryers and moisture separators to reduce and remove moisture. These devices can help improve air quality and prevent equipment corrosion, clogging and other problems caused by moisture.
