Description
Condensate Cleaner for compressed air systems of 15 000l/min
During the process of compressing air, atmospheric air along with water vapor and atmospheric contaminants (hydrocarbon, dust particles or chemical vapors) are drawn into the compressor intake. Additionally, the compression chambers of most compressors require oil for lubrication, sealing and cooling. Once compressed, air flows into an after cooler to remove the heat of compression. As the air cools in the after cooler, water and hydrocarbon vapors will condense. Additional condensation takes place as the air is further cooled in the piping and air dryer. Environmental regulations strictly prohibit the discharge of oily wastes and chemicals, including the condensate drained from a compressed air system. Because of these requirements, municipalities regulate the discharge of compressor condensate to surface water, waste water treatment facilities and sanitary sewers.
