Haldex introduces condenser/separator

Haldex
Haldex has launched a low maintenance air pre-treatment condenser/separator designed for severe service applications that counter extreme temperatures and humidity or requiring heavy loads and frequent stops.

The Haldex Consep condenses, separates, and removes 90 per cent of the oils, liquids, and other contaminants from the vehicle’s air brake system before the air reaches the air dryer. And when combined with the Haldex DRYest or PURest air dryers, the performance of the Consep keeps fleets running trouble-free longer in spite of extreme temperatures and high humidity, the company says.

The circular path of the air through the Consep cools the air, causing oils, water, and contaminants to condense and separate from the air. Because of this process, the Consep reduces corrosion and possible failure of air system components caused by contamination. Meanwhile, when installed properly, it substantially increases air dryer desiccant life.

An integrated automatic drain valve purges the contaminants periodically, while the built-in heater prevents freeze-up. Mounted between the air compressor and the air dryer, the compact Consep requires no scheduled maintenance during its service life, says the company.
