CONTRACOR

MEX Сondensate removal system

2.6 Description of mechanism

For MEX-E model:

Compressed air from the compressor enters the radiator (3) via the air line, where it is

cooled by the fan (2) powered by electric drive (9), which is switched on via the electric

switch (10). The cooled air from the radiator is fed into the cyclone separator (4), where

the air is dried by removal of moisture. The compressed air from the cyclone separator

enters the coalescer (7), where moisture is denitively removed from the air. From the

coalescer, the compressed air enters the distributing header (5), from where it can be

supplied to 3 consumers simultaneously.

For MEX-P model:

Compressed air from the compressor enters the radiator (3) via the air line, where it

is cooled by the fan (2) powered by pneumatic drive (1). The fan speed is set using a

pressure regulator on the air-preparation unit. The cooled air from the radiator is fed into

the cyclone separator (4), where the air is dried by removal of moisture. The compressed

air from the cyclone separator enters the coalescer (7), where moisture is denitively

removed from the air. From the coalescer, the compressed air enters the distributing

header (5), from where it can be supplied to 3 consumers simultaneously, as well as to

the pneumatic motor (1) via the air-preparation unit (6). In the air-preparation unit, oil

is added to reduce wear of the pneumatic motor’s moving components and additional

condensate is removed.
