Class 0 oil-free air is a type of compressed air that has no moisture or other contaminants in it. It is also referred to as “pure” compressed air and is important because most industrial processes require an uncontaminated gas for operation. Class 0 oil-free air will typically have less than 10ppm particles, which includes dust, water vapor, soot, and dirt.

Class 0 oil-free air is used in many different situations because it can be filtered to remove any particles down to six microns in size. This type of compressed gas also does not require any lubrication or maintenance, which saves time and money for whoever uses it.

How does class 0 oil-free air work?

The way that oil-free compressed air works are simple. It goes through a filtering process to remove any moisture or contaminants from the gas, which makes it ideal for industrial use. Different processes require different levels of purity, so some types of class 0 oil-free air have more stringent requirements than others.

Where is class 0 oil-free air used?

Many different types of industries use class 0 oil-free air for their production processes, including electronics manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. There are also many other applications where low-moisture compressed gas works well because it doesn’t require any lubrication or maintenance.

This type of compressed dissolved gas can be used in many different sectors including:

– Electronics manufacturing and food processing, where high purity levels are required for production processes.

– Automotive industry, class 0 oil-free air works well because of its consistency

– Various types of chemical industries, like pharmaceuticals and more.

Why is oil-free compressed air required in so many sectors?

The main reason oil-free compressed air is used in so many different sectors is that it doesn’t require any maintenance or lubrication. This makes the gas ideal for industrial use, especially when high purity levels are needed for production processes like electronics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.

Other benefits of low-moisture air include:

– Air doesn’t need any lubrication or maintenance

– Can be used for many different applications

– Has consistent purity levels needed for production processes, like electronics manufacturing and food processing.

Air Quality standards

Different types of class 0 oil-free air have different requirements for purity. For example, some air can be filtered down to six microns in size while others may only need particles eliminated that are ten times larger than this.

Class 0 Oil-Free Air Quality Standards

– ISO 14644, cleanliness levels required by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

– ISO 14698, defines best practices for the production and use of class 0 oil-free air. Some types can be filtered down to six microns in size while others may only need particles eliminated that are ten times larger than this.

Class 0 and oil-free air compressors

Many different types of air compressors can create class 0 oil-free air, but the most common type is a dry scroll compressor. This simple design uses two scrolls to pump the gas into tank storage for use when needed.

– The main benefit of this technology is that it does not require an after-cooler or muffler, which means it’s easy to use and maintain

– The two-scroll design also reduces noise levels because the compressor uses fewer moving parts.

Other types of air compressors that can create class 0 oil-free air include

– Roots blower, very durable but loud, requires an after-cooler or muffler for quiet operations (not recommended for use in production environments)

– Centrifugal compressor, also requires an after-cooler or muffler for quiet operations (not recommended for use in production environments) but can be used to produce large volumes of air.

Benefits of Class 0 oil-free air compressors

Energy efficiency

Class 0 oil-free air compressors are highly efficient, which means they use less energy to create the same amount of compressed gas.

Easy maintenance

There is no need for an aftercooler or muffler with this type of compressor design because it uses fewer moving parts than other types of air compressor technology.

No lubrication required

Oil-free compressed air does not require lubrication or maintenance, which means there is no need to flush out the system with water. This makes it ideal for use in production environments like electronics manufacturing and food processing.

Other benefits include noise reduction (no loud after-coolers) and easy installation because of its simple design that uses fewer moving parts.
