Air compressor (cold drying system)
Thread Content
In the air compressor system we use, the compressed refrigerant storage tank of the cold dryer has accumulated thick ice due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside. How can this be resolved? This post was last edited by skybiue123 on 2009-4-1 08:21]
It is a normal phenomenon; if it causes no damage to the equipment and does not affect the drying efficiency, no action is required. If that’s not possible, you can ask the manufacturer whether they offer insulation.
The equipment needs to be insulated, otherwise heat dissipation will be severe in summer.
Such equipment should be insulated, otherwise it’s a waste of cooling capacity；
For freeze-dryers, it’s not necessary to insulate both the compressor itself and the liquid storage tank. When this phenomenon occurs, we need to consider whether the output of the freeze-dryer matches the air handling capacity. In my opinion, if the compressor has a high output, then the output of the air compressor should also be adjusted accordingly. If the freeze-dryer is water-cooled, it’s possible to reduce the flow rate of the cooling water, which should help eliminate this problem. Of course, it’s also possible to adjust the expansion valve to resolve this issue (but adjustment is not recommended).
Do you mean the liquid storage tank of the cold dryer? If so, rubber and plastic insulation materials should be used for thermal insulation.
The liquid storage tank on the high-pressure side should not frost over; there should be no liquid storage tank on the low-pressure side, only a liquid distributor
Let’s first check what the system load is How much redundancy? Take another look to see if insulation is needed; a technical upgrade can be carried out!
I consulted the manufacturer, and it is indeed possible to implement cooling measures
It has no effect on water and oil removal, so just leave it be； If you want to be more thorough, you can insulate it, so that frost won’t form
