Water separator with comprehensive rate and outstanding efficiency
PURBERG water separator have been developed for high-efficiency removal of bulk liquids from compressed air and vacuum systems up to 20 bar. Inside the housing, there is an insert with vanes that creates a controlled rotation of the air. As a result of centrifugal action liquids (water, oil) and large particles are forced to the housing wall, slowed down and accumulated at the bottom of separator housing as condensate. The turbulent free zone in the lower part of the filter housing prevents condensate from being picked up and "carried over" into the airstream. To discharge condensate from the F-WW water separator it is essential to install automatic or electronic condensate drain.
Function of water separator
Compressed air enters the water separator through the curved inlet and then specially shaped guide vanes ensure a special rotational movement at high speed and force the compressed air into a circular movement. After the resulting centrifugal forces direct the water droplets to the outside of the filter housing, the droplets flow down into the collection chamber due to gravity. Shielding the collecting area Calms the air flow in this area in order to effectively avoid whirling up and entrainment of already separated liquids. In water separator a specially designed riser tube prevents particle transfer to the upward rotating flow of the compressed air, which has largely been cleaned of condensate. The innovative water separator rectifier leads the compressed air to the outlet and reduces flow losses to a minimum.
