Atmospheric Air always contains water in vapour form. Water vapour is in a gaseous state and condenses into moisture when the air temperature cools beyond the dew point. Dew point is the temperature at which air can hold no more water vapour. When atmospheric air is compressed (typically at 7 Bar), there is excess water vapour in the air since there will be 7 volumes of water vapour for one volume of compressed air. This excess water vapour condenses into moisture. Moisture is a contaminant for compressed air and is best removed using a Moisture Separator. The removal of moisture is imperative to the successful operation of compressed/gas/steam systems. Moisture causes corrosion of pneumatic tools, instruments and machinery resulting in equipment malfunctioning. For applications like blasting and painting, it is imperative that compressed air is moisture-free. Moisture Separators are widely used in Blasting and Painting applications as well. The cost of replacement and/or repairs of equipment, coupled with the corresponding downtime can be eliminated by using Moisture Separators. Designed to provide 99% effective moisture separation. The moist air after entering the Vortex Separator hits the shell and then passes through the vortex generator, which generates the vortex motion of compressed air. The vortex generator is a fixed one and has several vanes. These vanes separate the moisture droplets by impingement separation method. Due to the density, the moisture droplets settle down into the dead zone below the arrestor. The moisture free air is let out through the inner shell of the separator. The arrestor will not allow the compressed air to carry the removed moisture. An automatic drain valve (float type) is fitted to the dead zone, which drains the moisture condensate. A sight glass is provided for visually checking the level of moisture collected in the dead zone. USP of Moisture separator for compressed air:

• Compact Size
• Light Weight
• Zero Maintenance
• Float type Auto Drain Valve
• Easy to Operate
