QUALITY OF COMPRESSED AIR The quality of compressed air is essential for the operation of pneumatic systems. When compressing the air to, for instance 7 bar, the volume of air is compressed 8 times. This is also means that the pollution and the amount of water vapor, is 8 times larger. TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES

Due to the compression in the compressor, the temperature of the compressed air is also higher. Compressed air with a higher temperature can contain more water vapor. When it cools down,it condenses water vapor. Moisture inhttp://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_ics/catalogue thehttp://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_ics/catalogue_ compressed air system often leads to corrosion and or scaling . When the corroded parts in the pneumatic system come loose, this may cause permanent damage. Water also solves the grease from the pneumatic components, which decreases the service life dramaticallly. The oils used in the compressor can be taken along by the compressed air into the system, where the aggressive oil often affects plastics.

BEFORE IT ENTERS YOUR SYSTEM... When using compressed air, it is important to keep the dew point low by using the air dryers, such as the IDFA series. How does it work? Humid, hot air coming into the air dryer will be cooled down by a cooler/ re-heater ( heat exchanger). Water condensed at this time will be removed from the air by auto drain and drained out automatically. Air seperated from the water will be heated by a cooler/ re-heater (heat exchanger) to obtain the dried air, which goes through the outlet side.

“The result: clean and dry compressed air �
