Understanding the need for breathing air purifiers
Ambient air, the source of compressed air, inherently contains contaminants such as moisture, microscopic particles, and trace oils. The compression process amplifies these impurities, concentrating them within the reduced air volume. For instance, compressing seven cubic meters of ambient air into one cubic meter results in a sevenfold increase in contaminants like humidity, fine particulates, and oil residues. In applications where air quality is critical, such as providing breathing air, these elevated contaminant levels pose significant health risks. Therefore, treating compressed air to remove harmful impurities is essential to ensure it is clean and dry when delivered through masks or hoods.
