Mist separators are used to remove mist-like moisture (fine mist) and oil from the air.
Typically, mist separators are used in lines where air is compressed by a compressor.
Since compressors compress air many times more than the atmosphere, moisture in the air condenses.
Mist separators are indispensable for improving compressed air quality.
Mist separators are used to improve compressed air quality, mainly for compressed air used as instrument air.
Moisture in cylinders and other equipment operated by compressed air can cause rust and other problems, so a mist separator is always used to remove fine moisture. However, if oil is required, a separate component called a lubricator may be used to supply oil only.
Mist separators are also important in food factories.
Mist separators consist of a fine filter to remove mist and a bowl to collect the removed mist.
Since it is the fine filter that determines the performance of the mist separator, the degree of filtration of the filter determines its performance. , so it is necessary to carefully select a mist separator based on the quality of the compressed air.
In particular, it is generally possible to efficiently improve the quality of compressed air by combining coarser filters in stages.
In addition, if the filter is too fine, the price of the equipment will be higher and maintenance costs will also increase.
However, it is important to note that a mist separator only separates mist, so it cannot remove odors from compressed air.
For example, if the odor is also a concern in a food factory, an activated carbon filter should be used.
