Air-Cooled & Water-Cooled
Aftercoolers are heat exchangers for cooling the
discharge from a air compressor. They use either air or water and
are an effective means of removing moisture from compressed
air.
Aftercoolers control the amount of water vapor in a compressed
air system by condensing the water vapor into liquid form. In a
distribution or process manufacturing system, liquid water can
cause significant damage to the equipment that uses compressed
air.
An aftercooler is necessary to ensure the proper functionality
of pneumatic or air handling devices that are a part of process
manufacturing systems. Aftercoolers can use either air-cooled or
water-cooled mechanisms.
