Pipeline Aftercoolers (PLAC) are designed to remove moisture and oil from compressed air steams. Usually coupled with a companion moisture separator, the pair are sized to remove virtually all particulate matter over the entire operating range. The tubes are arranged to maximize heat transfer and minimize the cooling water demand.
Although Pipeline Aftercoolers can be custom designed, there are pre-engineered designs to meet most compressor operating conditions. If you know your performance requirements, you can contact us by requesting a quote.
