FLUID CONDITIONERS The atmospheric air that is compressed in the compressor is obviously not clean because the atmospheric air contains many contaminants such as smoke, dirt, water vapour, etc. This contaminated air may lead to excessive wear and failure of pneumatic components. The system performance and accuracy depend mainly on the supply of clean, dry and contamination-free compressed air. Therefore fluid conditioners are used to condition the compressed air before leaving into various pneumatic components. • Purpose: The purpose of fluid conditions is to make the compressed air more acceptable and suitable fluid medium for the pneumatic system components as well as for operating personnel. • Elements of fluid conditioners: The five important fluid conditioners and their functions are presented in Table 11.1. Table 11.1. Elements of fluid conditioners and their functions Now we shall discuss the construction and working of the above fluid conditioners. 1. Introduction
