Water in air compressor. Thb 3 4 industrial air filter is a heavy duty compressed air line separator that removes moisture debris from your compressor. Compressing air creates a water problem. When the compressor continues to run for too long and you have not drained the tank then sooner or later your air tank will end up with water. The water in the air has to go somewhere so it forms a condensate inside the air compression system.

At the base of the base drain valve you will see a knurled ring. Therefore it will lead you to pump water in airlines rather than compressed air. Water can cause rust and damage to air compressor systems and tools and hot discharged water can be dangerous to operators. Air compressor manufacturers put a drain valve on the bottom of the air tank for a reason.

The logical point for the water to collect is the air tank. This heavy duty airline water separator helps your air compressor as well as industrial tools a long life working performance. Compressing that air forces that water vapor out and the water must collect somewhere in your compressor. In addition this water can cause tools to freeze up in the winter.

Water injection single screw air compressor. Condensate can form inside the air compressor in the receiver tank and in the lines and other system components. All air contains water vapor. Water condensation is a natural occurrence and a byproduct of compressing air.
