The Unsung Hero – Air System Protector Cartridge
You’d never guess from looking at it just how much this simple component can do; and how its job has changed over time as more and more on-vehicle technologies depend on good air quality. Decades ago, when these parts were introduced, the only job an air dryer cartridge had was to collect moisture from the compressed air, protecting the system from corrosion and freezing.
A tough job for a tough world
Nowadays Air consumption of the pneumatic systems is much higher and their components are more sensitive to air quality.
Bad news for the poor air dryer cartridge which now has to work much, much harder.
From lubricated compressors, oil and carbon particles can be present in the compressed air. If they are not filtered out, this can lead to damage of oil sensitive components and degrade sealings; which in turn could cause air leakage in the system and lower the lifetime of pneumatic parts.
