A Study on Refrigerant Type Moisture Eliminator for Extending Filter Lifetime of Air Charger

The life of the purification filter of an air charger is reduced by more than 20-30% under the conditions of 30-40 ℃ temperature and 60-90% Rh. Therefore, this study intends to extend the filter life to 150 h by conducting a study on a cooling type water eliminator that can minimize the environmental impact. In this study, a cooling type water eliminator is manufactured before the final filter. The moisture eliminator is developed to measure the time to reach the moisture level (25 mg/m3) and filter life. Finally, the performance is confirmed through air quality request analysis from the Korea Fire Institute (KFI). The filter life is extended up to 84 h by conducting a self-experiment. Finally, the air quality operated up to 150 h is analyzed. All the analyzed values are confirmed to be within the performance standard range.
