Ingersoll Rand Desiccants
What kind of desiccants are used in compressors?
Desiccants are frequently used in compressor machines' air drying systems to remove moisture from compressed air, especially in air compressors. Moisture in compressed air can cause a number of issues, such as equipment corrosion, broken pneumatic tools, and subpar finished goods. Desiccant air dryers employ substances that can absorb and store moisture. Desiccants that are frequently utilized in compressor machines include:
Silica Gel: One of the most widely used desiccants in compressor machines, silica gel is composed up of porous, asymmetrical silicon dioxide granules. Due to its great moisture-absorbing capacity at room temperature, it is frequently utilized in compressed air dryers as well as packaging protection.
Activated Alumina: This is a porous form of aluminum oxide and has a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio. Activated alumina is highly effective in removing both moisture and certain gases from air streams.
Molecular Sieves: These are crystalline aluminosilicate solids with consistent, regular pore sizes. This enables them to take up specific molecules based on their size. Drying compressed air often involves the use of a type 4A molecular sieve.
These desiccants are often found inside towers or cartridges that the compressed air passes through when they are employed in air compressors. After passing through the desiccant material, which absorbs the water vapor from the moisture-containing air, the system releases dry air.
About Ingersoll Rand Desiccants
For compressed air machines, Ingersoll Rand provides a variety of desiccants. The function of these desiccant is to extract moisture from compressed air, guaranteeing its purity and safeguarding equipment further down the line. The compressor machines' dependability and efficiency are enhanced by the efficient adsorption of moisture by the desiccants that Ingersoll Rand uses. These desiccants' employment in compressor machines emphasizes how crucial air quality is for a variety of industrial uses.
What is the role of desiccants in compressor machines?
By removing moisture, desiccants in compressor machines are essential for maintaining the quality and usefulness of the compressed air. Some of the functions are as follows:
-
Moisture Removal
-
Prevent Corrosion
-
Protect Downstream Equipment
-
Prevent Freezing
-
Maintain Product Quality
-
Reduce Maintenance Costs
-
