Industrial Air Compressors

2. Filtration Technology

The Integrated HF Series Grade 9 Coalescing Separator/Filter

Once compressed air is cooled thermally, the condensed moisture must be effectively removed. A poorly designed separator can allow moisture to re-entrain itself into the compressed air system. It is particularly challenging to consistently remove moisture at lower celocities (lower loads). The HF Series Grade 9 Separator/Filter effectively solves these challenges by utilizing two stages of filtration to remove bulk liquid and solid particulates to 3 micron in size.

  • First stage - two stainless steel orifice tubes provide 10 micron mechanical separation
  • Second stage - in-depth fiber media captures solid and liquid particles to 3 micron in size

The integrated HF Series Grade 5 Coalescing Oil Removal Filter

Space and time-savings can be achieved by integrating an oil removal coalescing filter into larger sized hankison refrigerated dryers. Instead of having a separate filter vessel and piping installed outside of the dryer...simply integrate it into the refrigerated dryer. This concept is what we call an "Air Treatment Station" The HF Series Grade 5 high efficiency oil removal filter effectively uses two stages of filtration to remove oil aerosols to .0008 ppm (0.01 mg/m³) abd sikud oartucykates ti 0.01 micron in size

  • First stage - multiple layers of fiber media and media screen remove larger particles, pre-filtering the air for the second stage
  • Second stage - multiple layers if bonded, blended fiber media for fine coalescence captures fine oil aerosols and solid particles

3. Refrigerant Technology

Hankison selects the HFC refrigerants R-134a and R-404s for the HPRplus and HES Series dryers, designed for industrial applications, based upon the following criteria:

  • Environmentally-friendly HFC refrigerants which comply with the montreal Protocol of 1989
  • Energy efficient at "medium" evaporator temperatures of 35°F, Below 3hp, R-134s with reciprocating compressors provide optimal performance. At 3 hp and above, scroll and digital scroll compressors utilizing R-404a provide the optimum pay-back depending upon the user's air demand profile
  • Ability to maintain stable temperatures (small glide factor) to protect the integrity of the 38°F (3°C) pressure dew point. R-407c, for example, has a difficult-to-control 9°F flide and is selected for other product lines suited for light industrial applications.
  • Wide-spread, long-term availability of the refrigerant at a reasonable cost.
