Sullair Compressor AfterCooler

1. Product Overview: Core Role in Air Compressor Systems

The Sullair Compressor AfterCooler is a specialized post-cooling device designed for screw-type air compressors, serving as a critical component in compressed air systems. This cooler reduces compressed air temperature from 180-220°C (depending on model) to 5-10°C above ambient temperature through forced air or water cooling, while removing condensate generated during compression.

Key Functions:

Heat Recovery & Temperature Control: Lowers compressed air temperature to reduce thermal stress on downstream piping and equipment, extending service life

Moisture Separation & Air Purification: Condenses water vapor through temperature reduction, achieving >99% moisture removal when combined with multi-stage separators

Energy Efficiency Optimization: Reduces dryer load by lowering air temperature, delivering 15-20% overall energy savings
