Necessity of cylinder air source treatment: the compressed air output from the air compressor contains a lot of pollutants such as moisture, oil and dust. These pollutants must be properly removed to avoid harm to the normal operation of the pneumatic system. What are the common cylinder air source treatment elements? What is the function of air source processing element? Today, we will share the relevant basic knowledge for your reference.

The air source processing elements of the cylinder mainly include AF air filter, aw filter pressure regulating valve, Al oil mist, AR / BR pressure regulating valve and AC duplex and AC triplet composed of various elements.

Filtered oil: the viscosity of deteriorated oil increases and gradually solidifies from liquid to form tar like substances. It will cause deterioration and aging of rubber and plastic materials; Tar like substances accumulated in aftercooler and dryer will reduce their working efficiency; Block the small hole and affect the performance of the element; Causing inflexible action of relative moving parts in pneumatic components; The aqueous solution of tar like substances is acidic, which will rust the metal and pollute the environment and products.

Filtering water: water will cause corrosion and rust of pipes and metal parts, and make the spring invalid or broken; In cold areas and high-speed flow areas in components, water will freeze due to too low temperature, resulting in poor component action, pipeline freezing or frost cracking; The condensate trapped in the pipeline and components will lead to insufficient flow, increased pressure loss, and even valve action failure; If the condensate is mixed into the lubricating oil, the lubricating oil will deteriorate; Liquid water will wash off the grease, resulting in poor lubrication.

Filter iron dust: rust and dust will wear the relative moving parts, resulting in poor action of components and even jamming; Dust will accelerate the blockage of filter and increase the flow resistance; Dust will accelerate seal damage and lead to air leakage.

Filter oil-water dust: liquid oil-water and dust are discharged from the exhaust port, which will pollute the environment and affect the product quality.

Importance of cylinder air source processing elements: poor air quality is the main factor for the failure of the pneumatic system. It will greatly reduce the reliability and service life of the pneumatic system, and the resulting loss will greatly exceed the cost and maintenance cost of the air source processing device. Therefore, it is very important to correctly select the air source processing system and its elements.
