1. Air Moisture Separator Air contains moisture in the form of water vapor. It begins to condense into the air compressor when the air cools to a saturation point. When compressed air is used, the moisture can cause various problems, such as lubricants, increasing wear and tear, rust formation, corrosion, etc. The easiest and most effective solution is to use an air moisture separator to remove excess moisture and other harmful substances from compressed air. washing away What is a Moisture Separator? As the name suggests, it separates moisture content from compressed air/gas compressed air gets hot and water vapor is squeezed out of it, it is condensed into a liquid mixture of water and oil. Moisture separators are designed to remove moisture from the air supply before it reaches your lines and storage tank. It ensures a dry, clean, and contamination-free stream of air moving through the hose and air compressor. streams. When How can moisture harm your air compressor? There can be devastating effects of water present in your air compressor condensation to gather inside the unit, it could slowly dry into the metal surfaces of various parts and cause rust and corrosion. This, in turn, could lead the system to drag and eventually overheat. For instance, if your compressor fails to extract moisture from outgoing pressurized air, the moisture can dilute paints and degrade the overall quality of air-drying components. system. If you allow How does Moisture Separator Work? Atmospheric air usually contains water in vapor form. Water vapor is in a gaseous state and condenses into moisture when the air temperature cools down. When the air is compressed, you get excess water vapor, which results in moisture and further contaminates your system. Moisture can cause corrosion of pneumatic tools, instruments, and machinery malfunctioning. The moisture separator is fitted with coalescing element with the barrier mechanism that traps a large amount of moisture from compressed air/gas streams. When moisture content enters the moisture separator, it comes in contact with a dense coalescing element. The coalescing element forces the water droplets to coalesce. Gravity does the rest, pulling the separated water down to the sump. To prevent air compressor damage and increase its life span, the primary step is to remove moisture before it accumulates inside your system. Therefore, it is ideal to invest in a moisture separator so the air compressor can serve its purpose of taking ambient air and performing various functions in lieu of electric power. www.deltafilters.com
