A lot of complex machines produce a lot of moisture as they operate. High temperatures can produce water vapor that gets contaminated when it touches the confines of the pipes and the inner workings of the machine. A buildup of moisture can cause machines to shut down completely. Here is why condensers are important in case you ever need Donaldson compressed air filters.

Designed to Trap the Water

There are three main types of compressed air filters. First on the list is the vapor removal filter. They are found in Condensate drains are a type of compressed air system. These filters are designed to behave like an exit for the water vapor produced along with evaporator coils. Once water vapor has condensed in a machine, the draining filter captures and guides the water out to prevent buildup. These types of drains and filters are common in your air conditioning units. 

Coalescing Filters

These filters trap water, aerosols, and oils and prevent them from reentering the air. They are very efficient at trapping contaminants and if you leave them in for too long of a period they can obstruct airflow through whatever machine they are in. This is because the filter will have trapped so much unwanted debris pure air won’t flow throw as easily.

Dry Filters

Dry Filters focus on removing corrosion particles and waste produced in the aftermath of using a drying substance on a machine. They work in the same vein as coalescing filters but focus on dry air and work in different parts of complex mechanics.

Knowing the kind of filter you need is essential to making sure everything from your furnace to your car engine works optimally. Filters might seem simple at first, but they support the health of your electronically powered devices and literally clean the air you breathe.
