10 Contaminants That Can Affect Your Compressed Air System

Compressed air is an energy source that is used to power tools and equipment across businesses, manufacturing units as well as large industrial plants. An air compressor creates and moves pressurized air by sucking in air via an inlet, where the piston compresses it, and then this compressed air (air under pressure provides great force) is released through a discharge valve to power various industrial applications.

Compressed air systems are a reliable option that provide steady, continuous flow of air and non-heat generating power that is essential for many large manufacturing and industrial applications for an improved production output.  In fact, so important are compressed air systems in these demanding major industrial and manufacturing applications that they are often thought of as having a value equivalent to water, electricity and gas.

But what would happen if the compressed air, so vital to the production process, gets contaminated? What are the sources of compressed air contamination? To find out a solution to compressed air contamination, it is necessary to identify the source of its contamination. The 4 main sources where compressed air may get contaminated are:

 The ambient air that the air compressor sucks in  The air compressor itself   The air receiver in the system  And finally the distribution piping

Pollution in any of the above 4 sources will mean contamination in compressed air used for the manufacturing applications. As compressed air is a crucial factor in the production process, it is extremely important that the compressed air is of the right quality. If contaminated air comes into contact with the final output it could have a detrimental effect on the production, hinder quality, escalate rejection costs and have a negative impact on your customers and finally the business.

So let us find out which are the most common contaminants that can severely affect an air compressor system.

Ten Contaminants that affect the compressed air system

 Water vapour, Water aerosol & Condensed water-

Ambient air always contains moisture in the form of water vapour. Generally 99.9 % of the liquid contamination in a compressed air system is water. When ambient air is compressed, the air temperature rises, causing an increase in water vapor retention. If water vapour is included in compressed air systems it can cause problems such as increased leakage, pipe corrosion, reduced tool performance, high maintenance costs, disturbances in control systems and instruments etc.

 Oil vapour in compressed air-

As with water vapour, ambient air also contains oil in the form of hydrocarbons which may be sucked into the air compressor. As with water, oil vapour also condenses within the system when cooled and will only add to the contamination in compressed air.

 Liquid oil & Oil aerosol-

Many air compressors use oil for lubrication, sealing as well as cooling during the process. In fact, in lubricated compressors oil is a part of the compression process and is included in the compressed air either fully or partially as liquid oil or oil aerosols.

All the above air contaminants, (water vapour, water aerosol, condensed water, oil vapour, liquid oil and oil aerosol) when combined, form an acidic condensate that can damage the storage and distribution of the compressed air system. These air contaminants can also negatively affect the plant equipment and products that come in contact with contaminated air.

 Dirt in the atmosphere-

A manufacturing facility contains millions of dirt particles that are too small (less than 2 microns in size) to be caught by a compressed air filter (line filter used to remove contaminants from compressed air after compression has taken place) and thus pass directly into the compressor itself. These dirt particles can cause blockages in the system and affect final production quality.

  Bacteria and viruses-

Atmospheric air contains millions of micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses which, if they get into the sterile production environment, can adversely impact product quality and impact production costs negatively.

   Rust- Compressed air systems which do not have enough purification filters in place and were operated with wet piping before purification can encounter rust and pipe scales in their air receivers. These pollutants can damage the equipment and also cause blockages that may adversely affect final output.

Compressed air provides reliable and efficient output which enables the businesses to provide quality service to their customers in quick time. These contaminants and impurities in compressed air systems hinder that process and may result in affecting the production & output, escalate costs, reduce reliability and quality and provide a substandard product to the customer.

Checklist for using air compressors – what to do and what not to do!

What are air compressors? 

An air compressor is a device that converts power into potential energy that is stored in pressurized air. The air compressor forces more and more air into a storage tank, increasing the pressure until it reaches its highest limit. Once the uppermost limit is reached, the air compressor shuts off. The compressed/pressurized air is held in the tank until used for a task.

Air compressors can be classified as either Low-pressure air compressors (LPACs), Medium-pressure compressors or High-pressure air compressors (HPACs) all depending on the amount of pressure that they deliver. There are two main types of air-compressor pumps - oil-injected and oil-less.  

Air compressors are divided into Positive-displacement which include piston type, rotary screw compressors and vane compressors and Roto-dynamic displacement which include centrifugal and axial compressors.

Where are they used? 

Air compressors are a variable tool and have wide-ranging uses in

·         Filling gas cylinders

·         Powering pneumatic tools

·         Filling of high-pressure air tanks

·         Filling air in vehicle tires

·         Spray painting

·         Large scale industrial processes

Maintenance of air compressors

As all tools, air compressors require regular maintenance for efficient performance. Users must conduct routine maintenance such as scheduled monitoring and replacement of fittings to ensure that air compressors run without leakages.

Here’s a checklist of what to do and what not to do while using air compressors2:

What to do

· Daily inspection of the equipment

A daily inspection of the tool is recommended prior to using the air compressor. Such a practice by the owner will ensure detection of any leakages, faults or maintenance issues so that they can be rectified before usage.

· Always check oil levels before use

Checking the oil level in the air compressor is crucial. Low oil levels can cause engine damage while filling oil beyond the level can cause the engine to overheat. Maintaining the correct level of oil is essential to smooth running of the tool.

·  Operate safely

Exercise total caution before turning on the air compressor. A power tool is not to be used casually. Ensure that there are no kids (or even pets) and no combustible substances around that can be dangerous.  The air compressor must be used in an area that has proper ventilation.

·  Empty the storage tank after use

In order to make sure that the storage tank of the air compressor does not rust or weaken, remember to empty the tank after use.

What not to do

· Forget to change the air filter and oil as scheduled

If you don’t want your air compressor to malfunction, don’t forget to change the air filters and oil regularly.

·  Forget to wear protective clothing

Never forget to wear gloves and protective eye wear before using the air compressor. Also, wear long trousers and short sleeve shirts while using the tool; avoid clothes that have a chance to get tangled in the tool.

· Forget to check the tool before use

And last but not the least never forget to check the tool. Ensure it is turned on correctly and has no loose parts that could detach and hit someone.

Power tools are efficient, precise and save time. Make sure you tick all the boxes in your do and don’t checklist before turning on that air compressor.

When To Replace The Filter Element In Your Air Compressor?

The best and probably the easiest way to find out when’s the best time to replace the air dryer and filter in the air compressor is - when the operating cost of clogged filters exceeds the replacement cost. To maintain the quality of air produced by the air compressor, it is essential to keep the air compressor dryers and filters in check as they have an effect on the energy efficiency of the system as well. To get the finest air dryers and filters, take a look at Mark Compressors’ range of filters that are engineered to provide cost-effective, high-quality air.

If the air compressor at your factory or workshop is one that does not have a pressure differential gauge installed with the filter and one that gives no indication regarding the past maintenance date, you should replace it with one that adheres to both these checks. Of course, when you replace the air filter, the next time it needs to be changed depends on the frequency of use of the air compressor. The manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations should be followed as a minimum.

Another important point is to be able to read the measurements on the pressure differential gauge accurately. The catch is that the pressure differential of an air filter varies exponentially with the air flow through it. Thus, the reading shown on the pressure differential gauge can only really show the true condition of the air filter when the air flow is near the filter rating.

So, when is the right time to change the air filter according to the differential cost? A typical clogged filter on a fully-loaded air compressor could cause power consumption to rise up by about ½% for every PSI across the air filter. Thus, replacing the air filter once the pressure differential reaches 5 PSI or above is a wise decision. If the pressure differential affects the working of the air compressor such as restricting the air flow to the receiver, you could incur further costs. In such a case, it’s ideal to get the air dryer and filter changed or replaced.

Lastly, you need to ensure that the air filter is in the right place and actually required. More often than not, air compressors come with a standard assembly and without any further check, you tend to continue using some of the elements that may not be required for that particular air compressor. So, make sure you assess the air filtration system in your air compressor and remove any redundant filters. Hopefully this makes it easier for all of you to understand the filtration system in the air compressor and know when it's time to replace the air dryer and filter in it.

Maintenance Of Refrigerant Air Dryers

Choosing the right refrigerant air dryer for your industry along with attention to preventive care and regular maintenance, will help maximize running time, reduce life-cycle cost, increase longevity and ensure the best performance.

Before buying your refrigerated air dryer, keep these pointers in mind:

#1: The Maximum Air Pressure

The maximum air pressure of your compressor should be lower than that of your refrigeration air dryer.

#2: The Maximum Air Flow

The maximum air flow delivered by your compressor should be lesser than that of your dryer. If your dryer cannot accommodate the volume of air flow, it will result in a pressure-drop. This may entail increasing the pressure in your compressor, which will rack up the energy bills. If the air flow capacity in your dryer isn’t higher, it will be harder to reach the desired dew point.

#3: Inlet Air Temperature

If the maximum specified inlet temperature is exceeded, the components can get damaged, or your dryer will be unable to reach the desired dew point. Always check the temperature of the air leaving your compressor. You can buy a compressor with an after-cooler installed which will keep the air at around 40 degrees Celsius. Or you can look for high inlet temperature dryers which are specifically engineered to work with hot air.

#4: Compressor Room Temperature

A very high outside temperature can cause your dryer to overheat and stall its operations. Ensure that your dryer can handle the temperature in your compressor room.

Once you buy your refrigeration air dryer, follow the installation and maintenance instructions specific to your range and type of air dryer. Here are a few common guidelines:

Installation Guidelines:

Always set up your refrigerant air dryer in a well-ventilated and clean room. Make sure of the right voltage power source as well as a drainage outlet for water. High room temperatures or dust collecting in components can lead to overheating and breakdown.

Maintenance Guidelines:

Clean the condenser in the refrigerant circuit from time to time. You can use special condenser fin combs to remove dust and straighten the fins. If the setting point is too low or if there is a fault in the sensor or valve in the refrigerant circuit, the air can sometimes dip below 0° Celsius. In this case the water will freeze and ice can end up forming in the pipes. Check with your mechanic right away to get the components replaced or repaired.

For optimal performance and savings in the long run, always go for genuine parts and spares, and get regular maintenance conducted as per the schedule from reliable and trained technicians. If you’re looking for refrigeration air dryer manufacturers in India, Mark Compressors is highly recommended. They assure quick delivery, easy installation and quality support thanks to a nationwide network of professional service providers.
