Compressed Air Dryer Troubleshooting Guide – A Systems Approach
I’m asked quite often to troubleshoot different types of compressed air dryers when they’re not working. It’s not just Van Air Systems dryers—I get calls on every make and model imaginable, from Atlas Copco, Parker, and Schmidt; from regenerative to desiccant dryers. Air dryer dew point problems can include: Wet…
How Long Does Desiccant Last?
How long desiccant last depends on several factors, including the type of dryer, application, and the level of maintenance provided. For instance, with proper maintenance of pre-filters, activated alumina desiccant can last up to 5 years in heatless dryers, but only 2 to 3 years in heat-regenerated dryers. (It’s important…
What is an Aftercooler?
Definition An aftercooler is a device used to cool and compress hot air that comes out of the compressor. Thus, aftercoolers are essential to ensure that the compressed air is cooled before it enters an engine’s cylinders. Why? When air is compressed, it heats up due to the pressure created…
Oil and Gas Wellhead Sites use Compressed Air to Reduce Emissions
Traditionally, oil and gas operators used methane driven devices because of the abundance of natural gas available for their valves and the operation of safety devices. However, when those instrumentation actuates they release methane emissions into the atmosphere. With more growing concern on green energy and emission reduction more and…
