Condensate management products and operation
Since water vapour is a part of atmospheric air, condensate in compressed air systems can’t be avoided. During the compression process, the air is heated and then cooled down as it passes through hoses, valves and piping. As it approaches the ambient temperature, the vapour condenses and this liquid can be removed by mechanical separation. As the compressed air cools further, more condensate is formed.
Water moisture is not the only undesirable substance. There are also other pollutants in compressed air: lubricating oil carryover from oil-lubricated air compressors, atmospheric corrosive gases drawn in by the air compressor, aerosols and vapours, solid particles and rust from the piping system, pressure vessels and air compressor.
The first stage is the removal of most of the condensate, which contains a large amount of the above mentioned pollutants, by aftercoolers and condensate separators.
The second stage is the removal of liquid aerosols, droplets and submicron particles by coalescing filters.
The last stage is air drying by refrigeration or adsorption dryers.
Condensate should then be removed from the compressed air system by automatic or manual condensate drains.
Established more than 35 years ago, Omega Air is one of the few remaining independent manufacturers in Europe, with some of the widest portfolio of condensate management products, which you can see below.
