Pneumatic systems require high-quality compressed air, as impurities like oil, moisture, and dust from the air compressor can greatly reduce reliability and lifespan. Proper selection of an air source treatment system is crucial to prevent these losses.
Case Details
Answer: Just as the hydraulic system has high requirements for the cleanliness of hydraulic oil, the pneumatic system also has high quality requirements for compressed air.
The air discharged by the air compressor cannot be used directly by pneumatic devices. The air compressor inhales air containing moisture and dust from the atmosphere. After compression, the temperature of the air rises to above 100℃, and at this time, the lubricating oil in the air compressor also partially turns into gas. In this way, the compressed air discharged by the air compressor is a high-temperature gas containing oil, moisture and dust. If this compressed air is directly sent to the pneumatic system, the reliability and service life of the pneumatic system will be greatly reduced due to poor air quality. The losses caused by this often greatly exceed the cost and maintenance costs of the air source treatment device. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to correctly select the air source treatment system.
