Atlas Copco aftercoolers
and condensate treatment
The air that leaves a compressor reaches 100% humidity. It also contains oil (unless you are
using an oil-free compressor) and solid particles. Together, they form an abrasive, often acidic,
oily sludge. Without air treatment, this murky mix will enter your compressed air system,
corroding pipe work, damaging pneumatic tools and potentially compromising final products.

AIR TREATMENT
Atlas Copco offers a wide range of aftercoolers,
drains and condensate treatment solutions, extending
our premium quality throughout your compressed
air system.

REMOVE WATER
AFTERCOOLERS
All Atlas Copco compressors are equipped with an
aftercooler. It cools the air, turning up to 70% of the
humidity into water, which is then immediately drained.
However, production facilities with extremely high
ambient temperatures might need additional cooling.
Atlas Copco’s add-on aftercoolers prevent excess
moisture from entering your compressed air system.

DRAINS
The remaining humidity in compressed air turns into
water as the air cools while it moves through the
system. Because water causes corrosion and damage,
drains must be installed throughout your network. Atlas
Copco has a range of drains, automatic or electronic,
that will keep your aftercooler, dryer, air receiver, and
other equipment working optimally.

REMOVE OIL
CONDENSATE TREAMENT
Because oil poses an environmental risk, compressed
air condensate must be treated appropriately. Atlas
Copco’s condensate management solutions separate
and safely dispose of the oil in compressed air before it
enters the system.

HD AND TD
AFTERCOOLERS
Atlas Copco’s air and water-cooled aftercoolers provide
additional moisture management in facilities with extremely
high ambient temperatures. Supplied with all necessary parts,
they are compact, simple to install and easy to disassemble
for cleaning.

Our HD and TD aftercoolers combine minimal pressure drop

with high cooling efficiency and low energy consumption.
A negligible pressure drop means no production power is lost.
The compressor doesn’t generate extra demand, eliminating
additional energy or maintenance costs.

AIR-COOLED TD AFTERCOOLERS
Atlas Copco’s TD air-cooled aftercoolers
have an aluminum block element. An
electrically driven fan, shielded by a
protector for user safety, forces air between
the cooling fins to ensure high efficiency
and low energy use. The aftercooler is
mounted on a sturdy frame and has a built-

WATER SEPARATORS

WSD WATER SEPARATORS

Atlas Copco’s WSD prevents condensed water from
building up in your air system. The water separator comes
as standard with Atlas Copco’s aftercoolers and can also
be installed at any point in your system. Made entirely of
rustproof material, these cyclone-based separators remove
water aerosols to protect system components such as
dryers and filters. Maintenance-free and without moving
parts, they come with an automatic or a manual drain.

CONDENSATE TREATMENT

OSC CONDENSATE 5
TREATMENT
2
The state-of-the-art OSC range uses patented
technology to separate compressed air
condensate. The multi-stage separation process
with buoyant oleophilic filters and activated
carbon ensures exceptional performance, long
filter lifetime and trouble-free operation.

1 Condensate enters through the mufflers

and depressurizes in the expansion chamber.
1 2 The oil-water mixture continues on to tower A and seeps
through the white oleophilic filter. The filter adsorbs the oil,
but not the water.
2 3 Significantly cleaner condensate flows from
5
tower A to tower B.
4
3 4 Tower B contains a bag of activated carbon,
absorbing any residual oil from the condensate.
5 Clean condensate exits from tower B with almost no
residual oil content, which means it can be discarded safely.

 RELIABILITY
1 Advanced oleophilic filtration media ensure stable
and reliable performance, extended activated carbon
lifetime.
2 The discharge condensate contains so little residual
oil, that it can be drained without environmental risk
or infringing on strict pollution regulations.
• No oil collection bottle, eliminating the possibility of
contamination of previously separated condensate.

EASE OF USE
3 The simple yet robust design enables easy
installation without special set-up and fast,
effortless and clean filter replacement.
• Multiple oil condensate sources can be connected.

ROBUSTNESS
5
4 The large capacity chambers reduce the risk of
spillage if the unit becomes blocked, or if there is a
sudden increase in inlet flow.
5 The unit is easily withstands vibrations, shocks and
splashes. As a result, performance is better and more
stable and there is no need to use electronic “no
loss” drains upstream.

FLEXIBILITY
• Most condensate emulsions can be separated.
Polyglycol condensate can be separated, although
some unit deration is necessary (capacity should be
halved) in order to maintain filter lifetime.
• Model selection is straightforward and unit sizes are
kept small for a low capital investment.
• The system is based on filtration rather than
gravitational forces and weir separation. As a result,
oil density is no longer a factor.

PEACE OF MIND
• Accurate indication of filter replacement through
maintenance and blockage indicators, removing the
need to run special tests.
• No standing water while the unit is running,
eliminating all potential health risks and limiting
cleaning intervals.
