What does an air filter consist of ?
In general, an air compressor air filter will consist of the power part, the medium efficiency filtration and aerosol atomization part, the flow transmission part, the installation sealing part, the scanning detection part and the electrical control and data processing part, and will also add a liquid crystal display computer, so that it is a complete set of air filter.
First, what is the working principle of the air filter.
Want to understand the air filter, be sure to understand its working principle, as part of the compressor, some of the compressed air carrying dust, oil, rust, moisture and other harmful substances, will be filtered out by the filter, when the compressed air through the first stage of cylindrical mesh filter element, will produce agglomeration effect, that is, larger particles will be adsorbed on the filter material, And the water will also condense into larger water droplets to achieve the function of separating from water.
As it enters the chamber, the compressed air slows down a bit, allowing the particles to gather again, allowing the mist to condense on the honeycomb.
At this time, the water will carry impurity particles, flow along the bottom to the drainage device, through the automatic or electric drainage valve to discharge it. At this time, the first filter element has filtered more than 95% of the water droplets, oil and large particles in the compressed air, and the compressed air will enter the second stage filter element.
The second level filter element is generally made of special cotton fiber filter, compressed air will produce thousands of small vortices when it passes through, and the compressed air will be accelerated tens of times, the center of the vortex is like a tornado, forming a vacuum state, so that the first level is not completely filtered out of the water can be vaporized, filtered out, and the second level filter can completely remove particles as small as 5 microns.
After the two-stage filter, the air can reach a clean and dry degree of dust-free, rust-free, oil-free, and drip-free, ensuring the normal operation of pneumatic equipment and extending the service life of pneumatic equipment.
Second, what is the role of the air filter.
1, can greatly extend the service life of the compressor or vacuum pump. Because of the dust, moisture, oil and so on in the air stream, long-term accumulation may damage the equipment and affect its normal operation, when the filter is installed, it can effectively remove impurities and extend the life of the equipment.
2, improve the quality of air compressor output gas. Only after the filter, the produced gas can be guaranteed to be more pure and improve the working efficiency.
3, used in special industries, such as food, pharmaceutical manufacturing, etc., are very high air quality requirements, the effective use of air filters, can improve the quality of output, while saving production costs for customers, but also conducive to environmental protection.
