How Compressed Air Filters Work


Compressed air filters are special types of filters that are primarily used to remove contaminants such as dust, water, oil, and others. A compressed air filter within a stainless steel pipe system will ensure the air remains clean. However, the air that exits a screw or piston compressor will have high water content, as well as high levels of other contaminants, so different filters are needed to serve different purposes.

The unfiltered air usually contains dust, oil, rust and moisture, making filtration vital. In the initial stage, this unfiltered air will pass through the air compressor, which absorbs larger particles and condenses moisture into droplets that pass through a separation chamber.

The condensed particles then form a honeycomb before they travel downwards through the compressed air filters to the drainage system. In this stage, more than 90% of the air is cleared.
