KIMAIR KAWS Series Water Separators (1.6 MPa)

The KAWS Series is a high-efficiency air-water separator based on centrifugal separation principle, with a working pressure of 1.6MPa. Using physical cyclone technology without any filtration consumables, this series efficiently removes ≥95% of liquid water and solid particles >5μm from compressed air. It is an ideal pre-treatment device for protecting downstream precision filters, dryers, and equipment, significantly extending the service life of core purification equipment.

Application Scenarios

- After air compressor and aftercooler: as the first-stage device for removing liquid water and large particles.

- At the inlet of air receiver tank: prevents large amounts of liquid water from entering the tank, causing corrosion and secondary contamination.

- Before dryers and precision filters: pre-removes liquid water, significantly reducing load on downstream equipment, extending filter element and desiccant life.

- Main pneumatic tool lines: protects cylinders, solenoid valves, etc., from water erosion damage.

Customer Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can a cyclone separator completely replace a filter?

A: No, they are complementary. Cyclone separators excel at removing large amounts of liquid water and larger particles, serving as excellent "coarse filtration" or pre-treatment devices. Filters are used to remove fine oil mist, aerosols, and ultra-fine particles. The recommended combination is "cyclone separator + filter" for the lowest operating cost and best protection.

Q: How is consumable-free operation achieved? Is maintenance required?

A: Consumable-free operation comes from the purely physical centrifugal separation principle, with no filter media to replace. Main maintenance tasks are: 1) Ensure the automatic drain works properly, manually test periodically; 2) Annually inspect for abnormal scale buildup or wear inside; 3) Clean the drain strainer (if equipped). Maintenance is extremely simple.

Why choose the KAWS Series?

Choosing the KAWS cyclone separator establishes a cost-effective "liquid defense line" for your compressed air system. As a front-end physical barrier, it intercepts the vast majority of liquid water that poses the greatest threat to expensive downstream equipment, making it a wise investment to optimize total system operating costs and enhance reliability.
