Why do air compressors need to be equipped with precision filters

Gas is an abstract synonym, but pollutants in the air can be detected by today's high-tech detection equipment. The compressed air is the air that has been reduced in volume and increased in pressure by the mechanical work of an air compressor, used by subsequent terminal equipment, and finally discharged into the atmosphere.


In modern industrial production, air compressors are more and more widely used, and due to the country’s environmental control and people’s pursuit of health, companies are striving to improve production efficiency and product quality, and increase the degree of automation and reliability of production operations. In terms of sex, air compressors are playing an increasingly important role. The air compressor is the source of aerodynamics. The compressed air discharged by the air compressor contains a large amount of mixed impurities such as water vapor, oil vapor and dust. If compressed air containing these impurities is directly delivered to compressed air use equipment, it will bring the following adverse consequences to the entire system; and also affect the quality of the company’s products, so in order to improve production quality and production quality, and reduce system failure rates, we The precision filter becomes an indispensable part of the air compressor system.


Let me talk about the hazards that may be caused by the company if the air compressor is not equipped with a precision filter:


1. High-pressure oil and gas accumulate in the system pipes, forming flammables and even explosive mixtures. At the same time, the oil is vaporized at high temperature to form an organic acid, which has a corrosive effect on metal equipment.


2. Because the mixture of water, oil and dust is deposited in the pipeline, the circulation area of the pipeline is reduced and the air flow resistance is increased. In severe cases, the pipeline may even be blocked, resulting in unstable operation of the entire system.


3. In the freezing season, the pipes and accessories will be damaged due to freezing after the condensation of water vapor.


4. Impurities such as dust in the compressed air have a grinding effect on the relatively moving parts. When the wear is severe, it will cause leakage and affect the accuracy and service life of the equipment.


5. Compressed air used for painting, chemistry, food or precision parts processing, if it contains moisture, oil and impurities, will cause product pollution, reduce product quality, or even scrap the product, and affect product reputation.


In addition to the problems related to the compressed air system, if pollutants such as water, solid particles, and oil are allowed to discharge through valves, cylinders, air motors and tools, it will lead to the formation of an unhealthy production and working environment, such as productive dust and toxic. Gas etc.


Employees working in an air-polluted environment for a long time cause invisible and great damage to their health, and chronic diseases of varying degrees will appear, such as: dust can harm the eyes, reduce visual range, chronic bronchitis and pneumoconiosis and other occupational diseases; hydrocarbons cause Skin and liver damage, toxic gases can cause dizziness, nausea and even loss of consciousness, such as long-term work in a polluted environment will gradually cause cancer and death, seriously affect the health of employees, threaten people’s lives, and increase potential accidents; There are potential product pollution, personnel injury, lack of staff, financial compensation and other issues, which bring health and safety injuries to production personnel and product users, and ultimately affect the company's product brand efficiency and company reputation, making the company gradually lose its competitiveness and market .


The use of polluted air will not only cause serious impacts on production equipment, personnel, products and the surrounding environment, but also cause additional production losses, product quality problems, and high maintenance costs. Therefore, it is an indispensable and important means to further purify the compressed air to meet the production requirements. It is very important to choose a reliable and efficient compressed air filter device to save energy and production costs for the enterprise.


For air filters, one of its main functions is to filter out all kinds of suspended solid particles, impurities, dust, moisture, oil, bacteria, etc. in the air, so that it can not only create for us in life and work A good environment protects our health. In industrial production, it is also necessary to create a dust-free workshop, speed up product production and ensure product quality. For precision equipment, it protects the instrumentation and precision equipment of the equipment.
