Air Compressor Components

The air compressor filter or as some people call it, the water trap, works on the dew-point of the air. The higher the pressure, the higher the dew-point, and the more effective is the filter. This is why the filter must always be where the pressure is the highest and always upstream of the regulator.

The compressed air is still saturated, at the specific pressure and temperature, after a filter. If the air cools down or the pressure increase through a compressor device, moisture will condense out again. Filters can only take droplets of water from the air. Any condensation after the filter is seen by the filter as a gas and cannot remove it from the air.

Airpower stock the standard 25-micron filters, Coalescing filters, and activated carbon filters. These have an oil carry over 0.01 mg / m³. We also manufacture replacement elements for opposition filters.

We also stock sintered metal filters, 25 microns, from ¼” BSP up to 1” BSP Coalescing filters, 0.1micron, and 0.01 micron. Activated carbon filters, 0.001micron. Our brands include Donaldson, Omega, and Camozzi ex stock.

Airpower stocks a variety of other Air Compressor Spare Parts including Vertical Air Receivers, Regulators, Lubricators, Carbon filters, and Gauges.
