Minimum pressure valves

+1: High compressed air quality +2: Greater reliabilty +3: Longer lifetime

Compressed air treatment systems are always designed for specific flow rates. They can only function at their best within a certain range. If the compressor startup takes place without any pressure, there is a danger that oil and water droplets will overrun the filter/dryer barrier. This 'overrunning' of compressed air treatment systems can create serious problems.

Oil in the network
Coalescence filter: separated droplets are entrained	Activated carbon adsorber: contact time for oil vapour adsorption too short
Water in the network
Refrigeration dryer: contact time in heat exchanger too short	Adsorption dryer: contact time in desiccant bed too short Membrane dryer: insufficient expansion gradient Water separator and filter: Condensate in the quiet zone is entrained

The solution: MINIMUM PRESSURE VALVES
