Water separators

High quality compressed air is essential to pneumatic and automation systems. Correct air preparation is imperative in order to minimise component failure, increase the operating life of equipment and reduce energy consumption.

Water vapour occurs naturally in air and is present in the hot air discharged from air compressors. This hot air will then release condensate as it meets the colder surfaces of down stream equipment. Although the condensate can be removed via drains, liquid will remain in the air stream. This liquid condensate will break down lubricating oils increasing friction between moving surfaces and corrode exposed metal components.

For compressed air installations where water contamination is a problem, our range of centrifugal water separators can deal simply and effectively with the problem. Typically, water separators are installed downstream of after coolers and air receivers, refrigerant dryers and at strategic points in pipe work installations. Specially designed, Beta Solutions water separators utilise an internal spinner which removes large quantities of condensate by centrifugal action.

Water separators are available for operating pressures up to 16 barg (232 psig).
