How to match the compressor with a suitable air dryer?
If you know the answers to the four main considerations listed below, you can make the decision-making process difficult.
1. Determine the specific use of compressed air
The air dryer should be selected according to its end use. An acceptable moisture content for one application may not be suitable for another application. No matter how advanced the technology is, even after the air passes through the dryer, there will always be moisture. Even the world's mostDryingThe Atacama desert, in the airThere is also a small amount of moisture. All dryers have varying degrees of drying capacity, also known as pressure dew point availability. By knowing the specific dew point required for your application, you will avoid buying too many systems instead of buying larger systems than those required to have higher equipment and operating costs.
2.OKWorking temperature
You must know the end use and operating temperature of the air to ensure that the air remains dry enough for the application.
Operating temperature can be tricky. Requirements for some systems may vary from season to season. In summer, many applications do not require a low dew point, but in winter, it is usually necessary to reduce the temperature of the cooling medium. The equipment is usually located outside the building, and pipelines run through the entire facility of many chemical processing plants, refineries, and power plants. This means that the duct air must be operated at two different temperatures in the same system. From day to night, the temperature changes dramatically. The clothes dryer that is most suitable for daytime temperatures may not be able to cope with the temperature drop at night. Condensation and freezing are the main considerations in determining which air dryer is best for you. Keep all this in mind when choosing the ideal air dryer.
3. Understand the actualApplication
Compressed air dryers are typically based on a standard set of conditions. They are usually set to reach a specific moisture content at a certain air flow rate. This rating is usually100saturated inlet air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and100 PSIGworking temperature. The rated flow rating is a good starting point, but it is important to understand the actual performance of the device under specific conditions in your application.
4. Identify each use
Factory air and power meters are not the only ones that can use air dryers to remove moisture and lower the dew point.
Air used in cryogenic processing (e. g., liquefaction of nitrogen or oxygen) can form ice on the cooling coils. This means that the process must be shut down in order to defrost the device. The lower the moisture content in the air, the longer the defrosting process will take.
For these and other applications, compressed air must not contain liquid water, but must also have a minimum amount of water vapor-It does sound complicated, but it can be done.
For railway vehicles that must be filled with non-reactive gas or filled with non-reactive gas to safely store corrosive chemicals, it is particularly important that the compressed air has the correct moisture content to prevent severe corrosion. For example, if chlorine is combined with water vapor, hydrochloric acid is formed, which is as destructive as the name sounds.
If moisture is present in the compressed air used in the test chamber, the water may have the same harmful effects as the bullets discharged by the machine gun. Obviously, this may cause some problems during testing, including breaking the model being tested.
If you know the end use of the compressed air generated in the system, you can more easily determine the specific requirements you need the air dryer to perform. No application is exactly the same.
