FRUILAIR

Compressed air, why?
Compressed air is used in industrial productive processes, as it is a clean and con~enient energy source. However, to optimise the efficiency of the system, this important resource needs to be properly treated to assure top efficiency.

Dried air, why?
The ambient air given off by any compressor always contains water vapor, the value of which depends on the temperature and the relative humidity degree.

When the air is compressed, the volume decreases proportionally but all the exhausted water vapor still remains in air. When the temperature decreases and reaches a value at which the air becomes saturated, the humidity kept before by the air begins to condensate, this is called DewPoint.

With an appropriate aftercooler unit, which reduces the temperature of the air produced by the compressor considerably, approx. 60°l-70% of the water is condensed. It is possible to eliminate the remaining 40%-30°l with the installation of a FRIULAIR dryer.

Damage caused by condensate
Condensate corrodes piping, solenoid valve, pneumatic tooling and the user is then obliged to stand expensive repair inteventions especially the expensi~e "down times" which means cannot be controlled very easily.

In the case where the compressed air is used as "process air" such as for painting equipment, chemical industry, food-processing industry, glass factories, flour and raw materials conveying and handling plants, the installations of a FRIULAIR dryer is essential to eliminate the condensate polluting the production cycle.
