Air treatment
Practical explanations, observation points and project questions, from separation principles to maintenance and measurement.
Feed-air quality needs more detail than clean air
Describe contamination limits at the generator inlet, with their verification basis.
Choosing refrigerated or desiccant air drying
Start with the required pressure dew point and the coldest downstream conditions.
Pressure dew point and atmospheric dew point are not interchangeable
Always record the pressure associated with a moisture reading.
What a coalescing filter can and cannot remove
Separate aerosol control from vapour control when planning air treatment.
Why oil vapour needs a separate treatment discussion
An aerosol filter and a vapour adsorber solve different problems.
Why a small condensate drain matters to the whole gas station
Check drainage as an operating function, not simply a fitted accessory.
How aftercooler performance affects the dryer
Warm inlet air can change the treatment load even when gas flow is unchanged.
What to check when filter differential pressure rises
A pressure-loss trend needs flow and service context.
Air-treatment observations for hot and humid weather
Capture the combination of temperature, moisture load and factory demand.
Moisture risks during winter operation and shutdown
Consider cold sections of the system, including those outside the station room.
Choosing air-treatment monitoring points that help diagnosis
Use locations that reveal what changed between treatment stages.
Does an oil-free compressor remove the need for air treatment?
Assess the quality delivered by the complete installed air system.
