Air Cooled After Coolers
Pneumatech
air cooled aftercoolers are used to cool compressed air to safe usable
temperatures for further filtering and drying.
A properly sized aftercooler can remove as much as 60% of the water vapor in compressed air, condensation that would otherwise flood the piping system downline. An aftercooler can reduce the size of dryer necessary to meet system output air requirements, will extend the life of dryer and filters, and reduce maintenance, making it an outstanding value!
Pneumatech air-cooled after coolers use ambient air to cool the hot air leaving an air compressor (typically 180 F to 300 F) to usable levels of (100 F to 115 F). As the air cools about 70% of the water vapor present condenses into liquid water, which should be removed with a moisture separator. Aftercoolers can be sized to cool the compressed air to within 5 F to 20 F of the ambient air temperature (approach temperature). For Example, with 90 F ambient air temperature, compressed air can be cooled to 105 F (15 F approach).
