Compressed air with water
Thread Content
Diaphragm pumps consume a large amount of compressed air, and their delivery pipelines are long; water present in the air often affects their performance, and freezing can occur in winter, leading to blockages. Using a slightly heated regenerative dryer doesn’t meet the requirements either. Is there any good solution?
There’s no other way but to set up a drying system.
Compressed air freeze-drying with vapor separation reduces moisture in compressed air
There’s no good solution; all we can do is rigorously remove moisture during air compression and ensure that the water content remains below the local minimum dew point temperature throughout the transportation process. In other words, strict dehydration followed by drying
Add a compressed air drying system, and add an air receiver at the diaphragm pump.
Install a gas-water separator or air storage tank before the diaphragm pump, with the pipes leading up to the diaphragm pump
Add a pre-treatment tank before gas-using equipment; it doesn’t need to be very large
It is possible to consider adding an automatic drain valve before the pump
Some companies install electric heat tracing and solenoid-controlled valves on the drain valves located beneath the gas storage tanks
Cool the air and use solenoid valves for automatic timed drainage
