As Dambat - manufacturer of pumps and hydraulic accessories Marek Ibo, IBO Italy and IQ PR - we do not have in our offer dehydrators to the compressor or drainage filters. However, due to their popularity in pneumatic installations and the important function they perform in the protection of tools and compressed air systems, we present basic information about their operation and application.
What is a drainage and what is it for?
Drainage This is an element of pneumatic installation, which is to separate and remove condensate, water, oil and solid impurities (such as rust or dust), formed during air compression. The most common type is compressor drainage filter, installed just behind the tank or in front of pneumatic tools.
The offer available on the market includes, among others:
- compressor drainage - basic filter for home and workshop compressors,
- Air filter dehydrator for the compressor - also serves as a filter and moisture separator,
- Filter drainage for a paint pistol - mounted at the painting gun,
- paint dehydrator - for high air purity in the painting process,
- pistol drainage - miniature version directly with the tool,
- automatic drainage - automatically emptying the condensate tank,
- Automatic dehydrator for the compressor - installed in industrial installations,
- Painting gun filter - a small, precise filter for clean air.
How does the drainage filter work?
During the compressor compression process, pollution in the form of oil, moisture and solid particles arise. Drainage filter It separates these impurities, preventing them from getting into pneumatic tools.
Typical compressor drainage filter consists of:
- housings with replaceable filter insert,
- condensate separator (water, oil),
- drain valve - manual or automatic.
In many cases, the set also includes pressure reducer with a pressure gauge that allows you to precisely set and control the working pressure. The pressure gauge indicates the value of the pressure in bars, which allows the user to regulate devices' operation parameters.
Who are the dehydrators for?
Compressor dehydrators They are used wherever compressed air is used:
- in car workshops,
- in painting plants,
- in industrial installations,
- in systems with compressor with a drainage or a separately mounted filter,
- by compressor dehydrator assembly as an element of pneumatic tool protection.
The most frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Does Dambat offer compressor dehydrators?
NO. Dambat does not offer dehydrators or air filters on offer. We specialize in hydraulic systems, pumps and water fittings.
What is the paint dehydler for?
Painting drainage removes moisture and air pollution, preventing defects of paint coatings during spray painting.
How to mount a compressor drainage?
Compressor dehydrator assembly It consists in placing it on the air duct, between the tank and the tool. It is worth ensuring easy access to the drain valve and the ability to replace the insert.
What is the difference between automatic and manual drainage?
Automatic drainage It independently removes condensate without the need for manual emptying. Manual versions require cyclical opening of the drain valve.
The above article is informative. Dambat does not offer filters or dehydrators to the compressor. All trade names belong to their owners.
