Humidity is one of the components of atmospheric air that we can find in our plants of distribution and use of compressed air, in form of condensate and/or vapour.

If the condensate can be easily separated and discharged, humidity in form of vapour follows the compressed air flow up to the final product. By further cooling, this part of humidity present in the compressed air condensates causing in time serious damages to the distribution network, to the machine using it and to the final product as well.

For example a compressor having a flow rate of 10 Nmc/min intaking air from an environmentat 20°C with 70% relative humidity by working at a delivery pressure of 8 bar(g) and cooling it at 30 °C separates 5.1 l/h of condensate. If the compressed air is furthere processes using a dryer achieving a dew point of +3 °C, further 1.7 l/h of condensate are separated

Lower cost of the distribution plant, which can be made without slopes, separators and condesnate draings, but simply with fittings derived at "T" directly from the distribution ring

Lower maintenance costs:

• for the distribution network, since it is no more necessary to drain the line separators and to verify the operation of the drains, which sometimes are located even on very wide areas.
• for the machines using the compressed air and using pneumatic tools, since the absence of condensate removes most of the fauly causes.

Energy savings, due to less line pressure drops.

Longer life of pneumatic equipment, since the use of dry air assures reliable performance in time.

Greater productivity, given the reduction of inappropriate standstills due to faults to the machineries.

Better quality of the final product both in the applications where the compressed air gets in contact with the product and when the air is used only to move the machine servo-mechanisms

The Advantages of intelligent automatic discarge of condensate
