Air Combination
In general, moisture, oil content and solid foreign matter contained in compressed air
from compressors used in general industrial machinery are removed using air preparation
equipment before the air reaches an operating line. The compressed air experiences a
temperature drop on the way to the operating line and oversaturated moisture due to
condensation or rust inside the piping may mix into the compressed air, possibly causing
problems to pneumatic equipment. In addition, proper pressure levels must be set at the
operating line according to the type of equipment. In most applications, the Air
Combination is installed in the operating line and used for the purpose of preventing the
abovementioned problems and setting required pressures. The Air Combination basically
consists of an air filter, a regulator and a lubricator and has the following functions.

is supplied, the set pressure drops to 0.35 MPa. If the required pressure range of a device is between 0.3 and 0.4 MPa and the set pressure
of AC40 is set to 0.4 MPa, the corresponding air flow rate to the outlet pressure of 0.3 MPa is indicated to be 3000 l/min (ANR) in the chart,
