Dew point is the temperature at which water vapor in compressed air turns into liquid. That may sound technical, but here’s what matters: when dew point isn’t controlled, moisture builds up. That moisture can corrode equipment, contaminate products, and bring operations to a halt. Some applications require very low dew points. Most don’t. The lower […]| Van Air Systems
When it comes to fire protection, there’s no room for compromise. The systems that detect and suppress fires must perform flawlessly—especially in high-stakes environments like data centers, industrial facilities, or control rooms. That’s why United Fire Systems, a leader in engineered fire suppression solutions, turns to Van Air Systems to support their critical infrastructure. Clean, […] The post Protecting What Matters Most: How United Fire Systems Relies on Van Air Filters and Sep...| Van Air Systems
Recently one of our distributors that sells and rents portable air compressors asked me this question. The newer portable air compressors have an integral air-cooled after cooler on board so they thought the after cooler on the Blast Pak was redundant. I explained to them that “approach temperature” means everything when talking about after coolers. […]| Van Air Systems
Van Air Systems manufacturers desiccant dryer systems for compressed air and natural gas using absorbent & deliquescent desiccants. A desiccant supplier| Van Air Systems
An aftercooler is a device used to cool and compress hot air that comes out of the compressor. Thus, aftercoolers are essential to ensure that the compressed air is cooled before it enters an engine's cylinders.| Van Air Systems
In an astonishing revelation to industries worldwide, The EPA has moved forward with a multimillion dollar fine against a major oil production company for failing to comply with emission regulations. This unprecedented penalty showcases the urge and growing conversation worldwide for environmental accountability. If your business isn’t prioritizing emissions reduction, you too could be at […]| Van Air Systems
“Why does the compression process always produce moisture?” “Moisture contamination in my compressed air is fouling processes, products and equipment downstream.” These are commonly heard complaints when organizations utilize compressed air and fail to support downstream processes and equipment with moisture removal systems. Thus, the question arises “Why does compressed air require a dryer? When […]| Van Air Systems
I am often asked about the different dryer systems available, and it’s a great question for anyone looking to install a new compressed air dryer or upgrade an existing system. My typical response is, “What are you doing with your compressed air?”—which helps determine the level of performance needed. The second part of the discussion […]| Van Air Systems

Every morning, many of us pour a big bowl of cereal and top it off with a splash of milk. When we think of milk, the image that often comes to mind is the iconic black-and-white dairy cow grazing on a sunny farm. However, what we often overlook is the sophisticated equipment that transforms fresh […] The post From Farm to Glass: The Role of Compressed Air Dryers in Dairy Processing appeared first on Van Air Systems.| Van Air Systems
