Purifier:
This is the filtration system that purifies the compressed air to produce breathing air comply with breathing air
quality standards. Air compressed in the compressor stages finally enters the purifier. A refillable cartridge which
contains the consumables performing the filtration is placed in the purifier housing. Refillable cartridges are more
cost effective and environtment friendly compared to replacable cartridges. Consumables inside the cartridge
removes the oil, odour and water condensate from the compressed air. After that clean air leaves the purifier to be
given to the hoses or system. The purifier has a check valve at its inlet and a priority valve at the discharge.
Consumables inside the Purifier Cartridge should be replaced periodically to have clean air comply with Breathing
Air Standards at the discharge. Condensate collected inside the Purifier Housing should be drained manually twice a
day or after each filling process.

Priorty valve:
Priority Valve does not let the air go unless the inlet pressure of the purifier reaches a certain value (Approximately
150 Bar-2175 Psi). At this pressure the filtration is much more efficient than any pressure.

MAINTENANCE
Check valve:
It does not let the compressed air inside the purifier goes back to the stages and protects the compressor to run
under back pressure.

1.4 General Features
W32 series compressors are three stage, reciprocating type, air-cooled and forced lubricated compressors.
Working Pressure of these compressors varies from 150 Bar (2175 psi) to 350 Bar (5000 psi) depending on the
cooling system and valve heads installed. Working temperature range of the compressor is
0/+45
ºC
.
Important!
Do not attempt to modify a compressor to operate at a higher-pressure without written approval of
ALKIN.
Failure to do so may result in a serious damage to the equipment, injury or death.
