why do we need the compressed air filter

How much harm will the unqualified air filter cause to the air compressor? In modern industrial production, compressed air is more and more widely used, and it is playing an increasingly important role in improving production efficiency and product quality, improving the automation of production operations and work reliability.

As the air source, the compressed air discharged from the air compressor contains a large amount of mixed impurities such as water vapor, oil vapor and dust. If the compressed air containing these impurities is directly delivered to the equipment using compressed air, the following adverse consequences will be brought to the entire system:

1. High-pressure oil vapor gathers in the system piping to form flammable or even explosive mixtures. At the same time, the oil is vaporized by high temperature to form an organic acid, which has a corrosive effect on metal equipment.

2. Due to the deposition of the mixture of water, oil and dust in the pipeline, the flow area of the pipeline is reduced and the airflow resistance is increased. In severe cases, it may even cause pipeline blockage, resulting in unstable operation of the entire system.

3. In the freezing season, the condensation of water vapor will damage the pipes and accessories due to freezing.

4. Dust and other impurities in the compressed air will have a grinding effect on the relative moving parts. When the wear is serious, it will cause leakage and affect the accuracy and service life of the equipment.

5. Compressed air used for painting, chemical, food or precision parts processing, etc., if it contains moisture, oil and impurities, will cause product pollution, reduce product quality, and even make products scrapped, affecting corporate reputation.

6. Various injuries to the human body.

In addition to the problems associated with compressed air systems, allowing the indiscriminate discharge of pollutants such as: water, solid particles, oil through valves, cylinders, air motors and tools can lead to the formation of an unhealthy production, working environment, such as productive dust, toxic gas etc.

Reminder: Employees work in an air-polluted environment for a long time, which will cause invisible and great harm to their health, and there will be chronic diseases of varying degrees, such as: dust can damage the eyes, reduce visual range, chronic bronchitis and pneumoconiosis and other occupational diseases, seriously affecting The health of employees threatens the safety of employees and increases the hidden dangers of accidents.

At the same time, there are potential problems such as product pollution, personnel injury, lack of staff and financial compensation, which will bring health and safety injuries to production personnel and product users, and ultimately affect the company's product brand benefits and company reputation, making the company gradually lose competitiveness and market.

The use of polluted air will not only have a serious impact on production equipment, personnel, products, and the surrounding environment, but will also lead to additional production losses, product quality problems, and high maintenance costs.

For the air filter, one of its main functions is to filter out all kinds of suspended solid particles, impurities, dust, moisture, oil, bacteria, etc. in the air, so that it can not only create a new environment for us in life and work. A good environment maintains our health, and in industrial production, it is also necessary to create a dust-free workshop to speed up product production and ensure product quality. For precision equipment, it protects the instruments and precision equipment of the equipment.
