All about water cooled air compressor Water cooled air compressor are very suitable for buildings, factories and other industrial production sites. The reason that water cooled air compressor becomes so popular, because of its advantages, such as: Water cooled air compressor is in widespread application nowadays, especially in steelmaking, power plants, and other industries. A water cooled air compressor is more energy-efficient and environment-friendly than the traditional air conditioner, which use R22. as a refrigerant. It is also more costeffective to replace the R22.
How its Work Water Cooled Air Compressor Because water is complex molecule, it has large heat capacity and latent heat of fusion. When we use water to cool down the hot compressed air, the cooling effect is much greater than the conventional cooling with air blast passing through an air cooled fin (Fig.3-3). In addition, by passing the air through a fine mist of water and into a pressure chamber. We can greatly enhance the removal of waste heat from the compressed air. This indicates that it is very possible to achieve a comparable level of performance using far less energy than was required using machined castings; furthermore, in practical applications where large numbers of units are used for industrial processes, significant savings should be realized in operating costs.
