Portable Compressed Air Aftercoolers
ACP/ACE aftercoolers of compressed air remove condensate and oil from the air stream during abrasive blast cleaning. Condensate and oils in the abrasive blast cleaning system lead to the caking of abrasive material and potential blocking of the metering valves, hoses and nozzles. Dry and cleaned compressed air prevents caking of abrasive material, increases performance and reduces maintenance costs. ACP/ACE coolers of compressed air are an efficient means of removing up to 95% of condensate and oil which are commonly present in compressed air. Dry air prevents moist abrasive material, which would lead to increased wear, downtime and extra servicing.
APPLICATION
Abrasive blast cleaning, paint spraying with a pneuamtic drive, guniting, and construction and road works using pneumatic tools.
DESIGNED FOR OPERATION
With any brand of portable and stationary screw compressor unit. Compressed air flowing from a diesel compressor has a high temperature of approximately 90°C. At such a temperature, compressed air contains a large amount of moisture in the form of steam vapour. If an aftercooler and cyclone condensate separator are not used, compressed air can add up to 21.5 litres of water per hour into the system with a compressor operating at 5.7 m3/min capacity and a pressure of 7 bar. ACP/ACE aftercoolers of compress air cool compressed air to a temperature 3° C - 10° C higher than the ambient temperature. Once the air is cooled, vapour moisture condenses and up to 95% of condensed moisture may be eliminated from the system.

The compressed air cooler is used to reduce the temperature of compressed air that has been subjected to the compression process in the compressor. Air compression causes it to heat up, which can lead to various issues, such as:
- Efficiency - High compressed air temperature can reduce its effectiveness in pneumatic systems, decreasing the performance of tools and machines.
- Humidity - Warm compressed air may contain more moisture, leading to condensation and the formation of water droplets. This can damage pneumatic equipment and cause corrosion.
- Contaminants - Elevated temperatures can accelerate chemical processes that lead to the formation of contaminants. Coolers help minimize these issues.
The compressed air cooler is designed to lower the temperature, which allows for:
- Reducing moisture in the compressed air.
- Cleaning compressed air from contaminants.
- Increasing the efficiency and reliability of pneumatic systems.
In practice, coolers are often used in industry, workshops, and especially in the sandblasting process.
