A cyclone air-water separator (also known as a centrifugal separator) is a mechanical water removal device that uses the principles of centrifugal force and baffle interception to separate liquid water, oil droplets and solid particles from compressed air, gas or liquid.

Product features


1. High-Efficiency Separation

Removes over 99% of liquid water (particle size ≥5μm), protecting downstream equipment.

2. Zero-Energy Operation

Purely physical construction requires no electricity or consumables, resulting in low maintenance costs.

3. High-Pressure and High-Temperature Resistance

Constructed of stainless steel or carbon steel, it withstands pressures ≤16 bar and temperatures ≤80°C.

4. Low Resistance Loss

Pressure drop is only 0.1-0.3 bar, ensuring stable system pressure.

5. Maintenance-Free Design

No moving parts; only periodic draining (manual or automatic) is required.

Applications

• Compressed air systems: Pre-moisture removal after the air compressor (to protect the refrigerated dryer/adsorption dryer).

• Manufacturing: Spraying, pneumatic tools, laser cutting machines (to prevent moisture from affecting the process).

• Food and beverage: Fermentation tank ventilation and filling equipment (to prevent water contamination).

• Energy and chemical industry: Natural gas dehydration and condensate removal from steam pipelines.

• Environmental protection equipment: Wastewater treatment aeration systems (to prevent nozzle clogging).


FAQ

Q1: Why doesn't the separation efficiency reach 99%?

Cause: The inlet air flow rate exceeds the design range (too low or too high).

Tilted installation causes water backflow.

Solution: Select the model based on the rated flow rate and ensure vertical installation.


Q2: What should I do if the outlet air still contains water?

Checkpoints: Is the automatic drain clogged? (Manually test the drain function).

Is the internal baffle of the separator damaged? (This requires disassembly and inspection.)


Q3: Can it separate oil mist or ultrafine particles?

Limitations:

It only effectively separates liquid water/oil droplets ≥5μm. Oil mist requires a high-efficiency filter.

Solid particles require a pre-dust filter.


Q4: How often should the wastewater be drained?

Recommendation:

Manual model: Drain once per 8-hour shift.

Automatic drain: Check daily for proper operation.


Q5: Can it replace a dryer?

No! It only removes liquid water and cannot lower the dew point of gaseous water vapor. The back end needs to be connected to a cold dryer/adsorption dryer to obtain dry air.
