Is the cold dryer part of the air compressor?

The cold dryer is not part of the air compressor, but a post-treatment equipment used in conjunction with the air compressor.

The cold dryer, full name of the refrigeration dryer, uses the principle of refrigeration and dehumidification to cool the saturated compressed air from the upstream air compressor to a certain dew point temperature through heat exchange with the refrigerant, and at the same time condenses a large amount of liquid water, and then is automatically discharged from the machine after separation through the gas-liquid separator, thereby achieving the effect of water drying. It is an indispensable gas source treatment element in pneumatic systems and is widely used in industrial fields where dry compressed air is required.

Air compressor, full name as air compressor, is a device that compresses air to higher pressures. It is the core equipment of the pneumatic system and provides a power source for various pneumatic tools and equipment. The compressed air discharged from the air compressor often contains moisture, oil and impurities. If these components are not processed, they may cause corrosion, blockage and malfunction to subsequent pneumatic equipment. Therefore, as a supporting equipment for air compressors, the cold dryer plays an important role in purifying compressed air and improving air quality.

In short, a cold dryer is an important equipment used in the air compressor system to handle compressed air, but it is not part of the air compressor, but is complementary to the air compressor and together form a complete pneumatic system.

Can the water discharged by the air compressor be discharged directly to the sewage well?

The water discharged by the air compressor is generally not recommended to be discharged directly to the sewage well, mainly because it may contain oil: during the operation of the air compressor, lubricating oil is usually added inside it to lubricate the running parts. These lubricants may be drained along with the compressed air…
