Cleaning of control air in compressed air systems

Owing to their size, Diesel engines used on ships or in power plants can only be started by means of compressed air. Given this size, the nominal pressure may amount to up to 30 bar. The compressed air systems of the engine unit take in air that is often heavily contaminated with particles. The control air is needed to push open the injection valves during the start of the engines and must be filtered prior to entering the system.
