ThermaPhase Electric Vaporization Oil/Water Separator |
||
|
Installation & Operating Instructions 10 page pdf file Drawings The ThermaPhase unit is a thermostatically controlled, electrically heated evaporation unit that separates air compressor condensate from spent compressor lubricant. The condensate water leaves the unit as atmospheric steam and the lubricant is periodically drained from the unit. |

Sizing ThermaPhase Units
To size a ThermaPhase unit, you must know the volume of air being compressed, the relative humidity of the air and the inlet temperature. Table 1 is a chart showing the SCF/M of compressed air required to produce one gallon per hour of condensate at various inlet temperatures and relative humidities.
|
| Step 1 | Locate on Table 1 the
SCF/M of air factor using the inlet temperature and relative humidity of the
application. |
||
| Step 2 | Divide the SCF/M of air required by the
application of the SCF/M of air factor obtained from Table 1.
This number is the gallons of condensate per hour required to be processed by
the ThermaPhase®. |
||
| Step 3 | Pick a ThermaPhase unit with capacity to handle
the condensate from Table 2. |
|
500 SCF/M • Air Temp - 70ºF • Relative Humidity -70%
|
| Step 1 | Refering to Table 1 for an air temperature of
70ºF and a relative humidity of 70%, we find an air factor of 174.3
|
||
| Step 2 | Dividing our compressor capacity of 500 SCF/M by
the air factor:
500SCF/M / 174.3 SCF/M/Gal/Hr = 2.87 Gal/Hr. |
||
| Step 3 | Refering to Table 2, we find it takes a
ThemaPhase TP-12 to handle this application.
