AFTERCOOLER & MOISTURE SEPARATORS
Aftercoolers
Creating the finest quality products is one way to keep you ahead of your competition. Because superior products are made with superior equipment, it is necessary for you to keep that equipment running smoothly.
Take compressed air equipment for example. There are certain quantities of water and solid particles found in ambient air and when this air is compressed, the contaminants remain. If not removed, the water and solid contaminants can be harmful to your pneumatically operated equipment.
Also, through the compression process, the air becomes hot – to hot for standard filtration. The end result is poor product quality.
Innersole-Rand can alleviate this problem with the ABC/WBC Series of Air cooled, Water cooled After coolers.
Through the action of cooling the air, water condenses and drains away, taking many of the other contaminants with it.
The result is cleaner, cooler air that, combined with further filtering and drying, will provide the best quality air and maximises the performance of your air operated processes.
Operation
Compressed air flows into the heat exchanger. Cooling media flows over the exchanger and as the air cools, the moisture condenses. When the air reaches the coolers separator, centrifugal motion causes the condensed water and other contaminants to hit the cylinder walls and drip away to the drain.
FEATURE AND BENEFITS
Versatile Watercooled Design
The unit can be mounted in a vertical or horizontal configuration. Standard models are with cooper tubes and steel shells, while there are options available from cupronickel for sea water and stainless steel for high pressure gases. The hot compressed air flows through the tubes while the cooling water flows in the opposite direction around the tubes. The result is cooler air with limited pressure drop.
Reduced Water Consumption
The cooling water consumption can be adapted to your needs and the removable tube bundle design (WBC) makes for easy inspection and maintenance of the heat exchanger.
High Efficiency Separator
Installed at the base of the aftercooler, it will remove the liquid condensate.
Automatic Condensate Drains
Condensate drips down the wails of the separator into the automatic condensate drain. As the drain fills, a float rises, opening a valve which empties the condensate. This automatic action ensures that condensate and other contaminants do not build up in the cooler to pollute the compressed air supply.
Reduced Approach Temperature
The superior design of the ABC/WBC aftercoolers ensures that the compressed air will be cooled to 10°C above the cooling media temperature. This outstanding heat exchanger performance, combined with the high efficiency of the separator, ensures the maximum removal of moisture from the compressed air.
Resistant to Thermal Expansion
ABC/WBC aftercoolers are designed to withstand high temperatures. This ensures problem-free service under all operating conditions.
Ease of Installation and Maintenance – The compact size ensures easy installation even in the most crowded of compressor housings
