Air Preparation Equipment
Mitigating and reducing the dew point of compressed air in industrial automation is done by installing refrigerated, membrane and desiccant air dryers. Water and condensate removal from industrial compressed air is done through using either a water or air-cooled aftercooler.
There are three essential processes prior to machine operation to better preserve the cycle life of expensive industrial equipment and ensure reliable machine operation.
- Water removal
- Moisture removal
- Filtration to remove particulates, oils and condensate
HAA, Air
Cooled Aftercooler
SMC's series HAA, an air cooled aftercooler, is compact and lightweight using minimal floor space. The HAA can cool high temperature compressed air from compressors down to 40°C or less while efficiently removing moisture from the air. The series does not require cooling equipment, and is free from concerns such as water supply cut-off or freezing. The HAA has a built-in drain separator, and an optional dust-protecting filter.
HAW, Water
Cooled Aftercooler
Series HAW is able to cool high temperature compressed air from compressors down to 40°C or less while efficiently removing moisture from the air. As the HAW is water cooled, it can be used where there is high temperature, high moisture and heavy foreign particles. A thermometer makes it easy to check outlet air temperature.
IDFB, Refrigerated
Air Dryers
IDFB series refrigerated air dryers are cUL listed for use in North America. These 60 Hz models have rated flows up to 459 SCFM (780 m³/hr [ANR]).
IDU*E, Refrigerated Air Dryer,
Size 3~75, High Inlet Air Temperature
Refrigerated air dryer series IDU, in compliance with the Montreal Protocol Regulations, uses refrigerants R134a and R407C to prevent any damage to the earth's ozone layer. (Medium size series use R22). Series IDU provides a stable supply of dry air even under high demand conditions with an inlet air temperature of 60°C.
IDH,
Thermo-dryer
SMC's series IDH compact air dryer offers stable, compressed air temperature control with its integrated heater, regulator, dryer, and filter. The IDH air dryer delivers a constant volume of compressed air at the correct temperature, dew point, pressure and cleanliness, regardless of external conditions or seasonal climatic conditions. Due to it's compact size, and the ventilation holes being on the front and top, the IDH can be installed closed to a wall or panel.
AMG150C-550C/AMG650-850,
Water Separator
The AMG series water separator is installed on the air pressure line to remove water drops from compressed air. It is available in 7 sizes with a variety of optional combinations to meet your application requirements.
Main Line
Filters – AFF
Series AFF is mounted to main piping to remove impurities like oil, water and foreign matter in compressed air. No screw threads or tie rods are required; therefore, removal and replacement of the element is made quick and easy. Series AFF improves the function of downward dryers, extends the life of precision filters and prevents trouble with equipment.
AM7/8/90D,
Coalescing Mist Separator
Series AM can separate and remove oil mist in compressed air, which is difficult to remove by ordinary air filters and removes solid particles such as rust or carbon of more than 0.3 micron. It is the most suitable for air sources that drive pilot, metal seal solenoid valves.
AMD, Main Line
Coalescing Filters
Series AMD can separate and remove aerosol state oil mist in compressed air and remove carbon or dust of more than 0.01um. It should be used as prefilter for compressed air in precision instruments or for clean room requirements.
AME150C-550C/AME650-850, Adsorbing Super
Mist Separator, New Style
Series AME separates and adsorbs aerosol state fine oil particles in compressed air and changes the oil lubricating compressed air to oil-free equivalent air. It should be applied for filtration of compressed air requiring high cleanliness for coating lines, compressed air for clean rooms and compressed air for equipment necessary to avoid oils.
AMF150C-550C/AMF650-850, Adsorbing Odor
Removal Filter, New Style
Series AMF odor removal filter efficiently removes odor in compressed air with an activated carbon element. The unit is designed for use in food processing, pharmaceutical, brewing and breathing systems where odor must be removed.
