Frequently Asked Questions
A water separator removes bulk water from the compressed air system to prevent corrosion, contamination, and damage to pneumatic tools, machinery, and equipment. Water in the compressed air can cause irregularities in the operation of pneumatic equipment, such as inconsistent performance or freezing in cold environments. Removing the moisture ensures the compressed air remains dry and maintains consistent, efficient air tools and machinery performance. It’s essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your air-powered systems.
nano’s mechanical water separators use centrifugal force to capture and remove water from compressed air before it enters the equipment or tools. The force spins the compressed air, causing the water to separate and collect at the bottom, where it can be drained.
If your system has multiple compressors or airlines, installing a water separator at each point where moisture could accumulate is usually a good idea. This will help prevent moisture from traveling through the entire system and damaging equipment downstream.
Regular maintenance includes checking the drain valve and ensuring the water separator is free of blockages. It's important to follow nano’s maintenance schedule to keep the unit in optimal working condition.
Models GF 0006 WS to GF 1500 are supplied with an automatic float drain as standard. The automatic drain expels water when it reaches a certain level, saving you time and effort by reducing the need for manual intervention. Unlike traditional manual drains, which require emptying the collected water, our automatic system ensures continuous operation with minimal maintenance, allowing you to focus on more critical tasks. Overall, the automatic float drain enhances efficiency, reliability, and ease of use, making it the better choice for managing water separation with minimal hassle. However, Model NFE 3000 WS-ND is not supplied with a drain but nano does sell both timer and zero air loss condensate drains for this unit.
Yes, external timer drain and zero air loss condensate drain options are available.
While a water separator removes bulk water from a compressed air system, it does not remove all types of contaminants, such as oil or dust. nano GFN oil coalescing or particulate filters are required to remove these contaminants.
Yes, nano water separators have been tested in accordance with ISO 12500-4.
Wall mounting kits are available from nano. These kits allow you to securely mount the water separator to a wall for space optimization.
The cost varies depending on the water separator size required for your compressed air system.
nano GF WS water separator housing: 10 years from the date of shipment. All other components: 18 months from the date of shipment (from the factory) or 12 months from the date of installation/start-up, whichever occurs first • Coverage: 100% parts only
