Refrigeration Driers & Sightglasses FAQs
What are refrigeration driers?
Refrigeration driers prevent moisture-related issues like corrosion, freezing, and equipment damage. They are used in compressed air systems to remove moisture, ensuring dry, clean air for industrial applications. They work by cooling the compressed air, which causes water vapour to condense into liquid. This liquid is then drained away, leaving the air drier.
What is the purpose of sightglasses?
Sight glasses help diagnose issues like refrigerant shortages or leaks, ensuring timely maintenance and preventing potential system failures. They allow technicians to check for proper refrigerant levels, ensuring the system is operating efficiently. Sight glasses can also reveal the presence of moisture or contaminants in the refrigerant, which could harm the system.
