Problem: corrosion

Compressors work in industrial plants and supply compressed air for the operation of pneumatic tools, pneumatic systems and control valves. In industrial plants various contaminants are formed, which expose equipment to harmful effects of corrosion. Corrosive gases increase acidity in the compressed air and can create aggressive condensation, affecting metal surfaces which leads to vibration and loss of efficiency in the compressor. To ensure normal operation of the compressor and a long service life with minimal repairs, it is necessary to remove gaseous pollution from the intake air.

It is ill-considered to neglect air purification, as the cost of compressors usually ranges from EURO 80,000 to EURO 500,000, and repairs for corrosion damage can reach 20% – 50% of the initial cost of the compressor.

Corrosive gaseous contaminants can affect air flow, interfere with heat dissipation, cause vibration and reduce compressor efficiency. To protect the compressor against corrosion, Moremex offers a Compression Intake Filter designed to remove corrosive gases from the intake air.

Moremex Air filter advantages:

• The air filter prevents vibration of the compressor impeller caused by the accumulation of corrosion by-products.
• The Compressor Intake Filter prevents corrosion damage to intercoolers, diffusers and casings.
• The Compressor Intake Filter prevents loss of cooling due to corrosion of the intercooler.
• The Compressor Intake Filter allows standard copper intercooler tubing to be used even in dirty environments.
• The Compressor Intake Filter eliminates unnecessary repair costs by extending service intervals.
• The Compressor Intake Filter reduces the initial cost of the compressor and allows the use of less expensive, standard spare parts.
• The Compressor Intake Filter helps maintain the efficiency of the compressor.

The solution: Moremex filters for compressors.
