Compressed Air Oil Content Quality to ISO 8573 class 1 and class 0 On-Line Compliance?

 

Having an oil free compressor does not necessarily mean that your compressed air is oil free as the term “oil-free compressor”  refers only to the compression chamber, not the compressor system as a whole, or the resulting compressed air quality.


Contaminants in the compressed air system generally can be attributed to:
  The quality of the air drawn into the compressor
  The operation of the air compressor
  Compressed air storage devices and distribution systems

 

Keep in mind that most of the millions of particles in normal urban ambient air your compressor sucks in, are below the pore size of the compressor inlet filters.
Hydrocarbon content in ambient air varies from area to area (typically contains between 0.05mg/m3 and 0.5mg/m3 of oil vapor from sources such as car exhausts and industrial processes) but is often sufficient to contaminate the compressed air of your system. Ofcourse, the answer to that, is an air treatment system downstream, but how do you know that your air quality complies with the requirements of oil free air 24hours/day 365 days/year?

Many industrial processes are very sensitive to oil contamination, as this can lead to tremendous risks, downtime, product spoilage & recall, damage the company's reputation, harmed consumers & product liability, but up to now the only method for measuring the in-pipe oil content involved specialist equipment and  a time-consuming laboratory analysis.

Online measuring and monitoring device for compressed air oil content

 

Sigma 120 Series air Oil Monitor

with 5" touch screen, 0.001 mg/m³, 4...20 mA output, RS-485, alarm output, 24 VDC,

 

The new residual oil monitor Sigma 120 monitors oil contents of compressed air and gases and can also be used as portable. The simple installation and the outstanding performance makes Sigma 120 the ideal choice when residual oil contents needs to be measured and monitored.

Oil free compressed air is not an easy task to be achieved. Monitoring is a must in many industries and applications to avoid contamination in products and risks for health of humans. S 120 makes this monitoring task affordable and reliable.

For best accuracy and long term stability, the sensor applies an automatic calibration. Sensor contamination and sensor life time are monitored and will be indicated to the user. An over range detection will remove the sampling air from the sensor to protect it against contamination.
