Prevost MSC Cyclonic Water Separator with Float Drain
Compressed air carries water, and water downstream means rust, premature tool wear and ruined finishes. This Prevost cyclonic separator spins the bulk liquid out of the line mechanically and discharges it through an automatic float drain, so it keeps working without anyone remembering to bleed it. Five sizes cover 59 to 706 CFM with 1/2 to 2 inch NPT ports, all rated to 232 PSI in an anodized aluminum body.
What it does and does not do
A cyclonic separator removes liquid water and the heavier oil droplets that have already condensed. It does not lower the dew point, so it is not a dryer: air leaving it is still saturated and will drop more water as it cools in the pipe. Use it to protect a refrigerated dryer or a coalescing filter from slugs of water, or on its own where you only need to stop liquid reaching the tools.
Where to install it
Put it where the air is coolest and the water has already condensed: right after an aftercooler, at the receiver outlet, or at the point of use at the bottom of a drop. Mount it vertically with the bowl down and pipe the float drain discharge to an oil water separator rather than the floor, since the condensate carries compressor oil. Keep the inlet temperature between 34 and 149 F.
Sizing
Size on the compressor's delivered CFM at line pressure with some margin, not on the pipe size. MSC 60 handles 59 CFM on 1/2 inch ports, MSC 120 118 CFM on 3/4, MSC 175 175 CFM on 1 inch, MSC 350 350 CFM on 1 1/2 and MSC 700 706 CFM on 2 inch. Going one size up costs a little more and drops the pressure loss. Other separators are in the water separators collection, and the Quincy QWS is the usual alternative.
