AirPrep Systems Moisture Separators
Moisture accumulates in compressed air in vapor form at the air compressor. The moisture creates problems when the hot compressed air is cooled and the vapor condenses into water droplets. In blast systems, this cooling occurs in two primary areas: when the air enters the blast pot (where it expands) and as the compressed air exits the blast nozzle (where it expands). The expansion cools the air, causing condensation of moisture in the blast media and on the object being blasted. A moisture separator allows the air to expand inside an ASME code pressure vessel, where moisture in the air condenses and is trapped by a stainless steel coalescent element.
