Air-Cooled Aftercoolers for Piston Compressors
Piston compressors, valued for their versatility in small to medium-scale operations, rely on air-cooled aftercoolers to cool compressed air and remove moisture. These aftercoolers ensure clean, dry air for applications in automotive repair, small manufacturing, and construction, protecting tools and enhancing system reliability.
Benefits for Piston Compressors
Air-cooled aftercoolers are well-suited for piston compressors due to their compact size, low maintenance, and ability to handle intermittent operation. They cool air to within 15-20°F of ambient temperature, removing up to 75% of moisture when paired with separators. Built with durable aluminum or stainless steel, they resist corrosion and wear, supporting flow rates from 20 to 500 SCFM. Their fan-driven design eliminates water needs, reducing costs for workshops or mobile setups.
Applications and Features
These aftercoolers serve a variety of piston compressor applications, including spray painting, pneumatic tool operation, and light industrial processes. Key features include high-efficiency fans, low-pressure drop designs, and customizable options like AC or DC power, NPT or flange connections, and vibration-resistant mounts. Compliance with ASME standards ensures safety, while optional moisture separators and filters improve air quality for sensitive tasks like food processing or automotive finishing.
