Hot weather puts air treatment systems under strain
While your compressed air system operates reliably during normal conditions, the ambient temperatures tend to vary faster and drastically than expected during the first few hot summer days. As a result, malfunctions, deterioration in quality and unexpected costs can arise - oftentimes unexpectedly.
- Refrigeration dryers no longer reach the required pressure dew point - the compressed air becomes too humid, which can result in corrosion and application problems.
- Condensate build-up increases significantly - traps, separators and oil-water separators reach their performance limits.
- Fine dust, pollen and Sahara dust lead to increased filter load - with higher differential pressure and reduced energy efficiency.
- Heated intake air increases the oil vapour content - this can impair downstream processes.
With our free summer check, you can identify potential weak points at an early stage - before problems arise.
