Air-Cooled Aftercoolers for Rotary Screw Compressors
Rotary screw compressors, known for their continuous operation and high output, require robust air-cooled aftercoolers to cool compressed air and remove moisture, ensuring clean, dry air for applications in manufacturing, automotive, and construction. These aftercoolers enhance system performance, protect equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.
Why Use Air-Cooled Aftercoolers
Air-cooled aftercoolers are ideal for rotary screw compressors due to their simplicity, low maintenance, and ability to handle high flow rates (50-5,000 SCFM). They cool air to within 15-20°F of ambient temperature, condensing up to 75% of moisture when paired with separators. Constructed from durable materials like aluminum or stainless steel, they withstand the high-pressure demands of rotary screw systems. Their fan-driven design eliminates the need for water, making them cost-effective for environments without water resources.
Applications and Features
These aftercoolers support a range of rotary screw compressor applications, including pneumatic tools, spray painting, sandblasting, and food processing. Features include high-efficiency fans, low-pressure drop designs, and customizable options like AC or DC power, NPT or flange connections, and anti-vibration mounts. Compliance with ASME standards ensures safety, while optional moisture separators and dryers enhance air quality for sensitive processes.
