Can cold-dried compressed air cause ice blockage?
Thread Content
Dear experts, I would like to ask whether compressed air that has been cooled and dried (with an inlet pressure of 0.1–10 MPa and an outlet pressure of less than 24.5 MPa) can form hydrates, or whether ice blockages may occur due to condensation water forming in the pipelines: handshake
The picture has nothing to do with the question; I need an answer urgently. Please help!
The dew point of the air after cold drying is just for reference; generally, it isn’t significant
1. Check the dew point of your air, then install a gas-liquid separator; fit an electromagnetic valve at the bottom to drain water periodically, thereby ensuring that the gas being transported contains as little moisture as possible. 2, or you can add an air heater as well.
Are there any good ways to deal with ice blockage? Thank you
Thank you so much! How is the air dew point determined? The compressed air pressure ranges from 0.1–10 MPa, and another range is 10–24.5 MPa; can it be calculated? Pipe diameter DN150, about 80m long. Does a gas-liquid separator need to be installed in both pressure sections, and if so, where? Thank you so much!
If the air has indeed been dried, then there’s no problem. The pressurization process without water does not generate any water.
Only one cold dryer is included in the process
Are there any references or engineering examples?
