Overview:
Our air cooled aftercooelrs offer superior compressed air cooling for a veriaty of applicaitons. These coolers are rated to handle between 250F and 350F compressed air at the inlet, and pressures up to 250 PSI.
Reduced Approach Temperature:
The superior design of these aftercoolers ensures that the compressed air will be cooled to the closest approach temperature above the cooling media temperature, and in many cases can cool to within 5F of your ambient air temperature flowing across the fins. This outstanding heat exchanger performance, combined with the high efficiency of a separator, ensures the maximum removal of moisture from the compressed air.
Properly Selected and Installed:
Aftercoolers are designed to withstand high temperatures. This ensures problem-free service under the most demanding operating conditions.
Our AKG aftercoolers are critical components in compressed air systems, designed to cool compressed air and remove moisture before it reaches downstream equipment. By reducing the temperature of compressed air, aftercoolers are first-line equipment for condensing and eliminating water vapor, improving air quality and preventing issues like corrosion, equipment wear, and production inefficiencies.
Here are just a few common applications that benefit from the use of compressed air aftercoolers:
Compressed air aftercoolers ensure pneumatic tools like drills, hammers, and grinders receive dry, cool air. This prevents moisture-related damage, enhancing tool efficiency and lifespan. Industries like construction, manufacturing, and shipbuilding rely on these tools for critical operations, making aftercoolers indispensable for consistent performance, reduced downtime, and minimized maintenance requirements.
Aftercoolers are vital in spray painting applications, ensuring moisture-free compressed air for flawless finishes. Excess moisture can cause paint defects like streaks or bubbles. Industries such as automotive refinishing, furniture manufacturing, and industrial coating rely on dry air to maintain product quality, reduce rework, and protect expensive painting equipment.
Aftercoolers are crucial for food and beverage operations like bottling, packaging, and conveying, where clean, moisture-free air prevents contamination. They ensure compliance with stringent hygiene standards while improving equipment reliability. Dry air reduces the risk of bacterial growth and corrosion, maintaining product quality and extending the life of air-powered machinery.
Aftercoolers are essential in metalworking applications, supplying dry compressed air to CNC machines, plasma cutters, and sandblasters. Moisture in the air can corrode tools and machinery, leading to costly repairs. By providing cool, moisture-free air, aftercoolers enhance equipment reliability, improve machining precision, and ensure the longevity of cutting-edge tools.
