Compressed air serves a wide range of functions. For example, it is used to operate compressed-air brakes on rail vehicles, actuate machines, and convey materials or drive components by means of pipelines. In each case, a “fluid energy machine” is required. A fluid energy machine is an apparatus or device in which mechanical work is performed by exchanging energy with the help of a fluid (a gas or liquid). Examples include compressors and pumps, which in turn are subdivided into the fields of compressed-air and vacuum technology.
Filters for compressed air and vacuum technology
As mentioned above, mechanical energy is transferred to the enclosed air via a compressor. This process increases the air pressure and the air density. Devices that pressurize any type of fluid are called pumps. Compressors that create negative pressure (also called a vacuum) and “work against” the surrounding air pressure are known as vacuum pumps.
Compressed air and vacuum systems require high-performance filters, which must also be able to withstand extreme loads. High-quality air filters, oil filters, air/oil separator elements, vacuum filters, and air/oil separator spin-ons play a key role in ensuring process safety. They protect components by preventing premature wear and play a key role in maximizing machine availability.
