Water Cooled Aftercoolers for Rotary Screw Compressors

Benefits of Water Cooled Aftercoolers

Efficiency and Performance for Rotary Screw Compressors

Water cooled aftercoolers are critical for rotary screw compressors, lowering the temperature of compressed air after compression. This increases air density, improves system efficiency, and reduces energy costs. Utilizing cooling water from plant systems or closed-loop towers, they offer compact designs like plate heat exchangers for high thermal performance in industrial settings. While also used in piston/reciprocating compressors, their primary application is in rotary screw systems due to their continuous operation and high airflow demands.

Equipment Protection
By reducing air temperature, aftercoolers condense moisture, preventing corrosion in pipelines and downstream equipment. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel, they ensure durability, minimize maintenance, and extend the lifespan of pneumatic tools and systems, especially in rotary screw compressor setups.

Applications
Water cooled aftercoolers are essential in industries like manufacturing, automotive, and food processing, where rotary screw compressors power pneumatic systems, spray painting, and cleanroom applications. They maintain air quality, protecting sensitive processes and ensuring consistent product quality. Their robust construction supports the high-pressure, continuous-duty demands of rotary screw compressors, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Moisture Control
Aftercoolers for rotary screw compressors effectively reduce moisture content in compressed air, protecting downstream equipment and ensuring reliable operation in humid or high-temperature environments.
