A molecular sieve is a fine-pored desiccant granulate (zeolite) that removes residual moisture from the compressed air in breathing air and compressed air compressors. It is located in the dryer cartridge of the filter stage and must be replaced regularly depending on usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residual moisture in breathing air is one of the criteria that good air quality monitoring systems like IDE-Airsave continuously measure. Air that is too moisture-laden can cause corrosion in cylinders and valves and compromise breathing air quality in accordance with DIN EN 12021:2014 \u2013 the molecular sieve is the stage that prevents precisely that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over time, the granulate becomes saturated with moisture and loses its drying effect \u2013 the replacement cycle depends on the frequency of use, ambient humidity, and compressor runtime. IDE supplies the matching molecular sieve granules<\/a> directly as a spare part from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A molecular sieve is a porous desiccant granulate (zeolite) that binds water molecules from compressed air, thereby ensuring dry, clean breathing air.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n That depends on the frequency of use and ambient humidity \u2013 saturated granulate loses its drying effect and should be replaced before air quality suffers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n IDE offers molecular sieve granules as well as complete dryer cartridges as spare parts directly from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Usually, a preceding one works Condensate trap<\/a>, which captures coarse moisture even before fine drying.
