  • Page 35: The Compressed Air Supply

    “Starting the Machine” section of this manual. The Compressed Air Supply Although Cold Jet dry ice equipment is designed and engineered to work under the most • demanding environments and conditions, the incoming air supply must be as free of oil, dirt/foreign particles, and water/moisture as possible.
  • Page 36 If these air quality specifications are not met, yet are continued to be used with Cold Jet, LLC equipment, the warranty will be nullified. Required Air Quality One micron = .00003in.
  • Page 37 A Coalescent Air Filter, or CAF, (2M0039) is a good entry level tool to help separate water from compressed air. o Cold Jet’s aftercooler (P/Ns 2M0023-G1 / 2M0036) is the next best tool in separating water by cooling the compressed air. This causes moisture in gas or vapor forms to change state to physical water.
  • Page 38 And, if it is possible to cool the air even further such as using a Cold Jet aftercooler, more moisture is turned to water that can be separated from the compressed air. The result is even less moisture, in any form, to negatively affect the dry ice blasting equipment.

  • Page 39: Starting The Machine

    The machine has features to help reduce this problem. Later in this manual, there are instructions to keep the dry ice, free flowing by using the Advance Settings that control the Cold Jet SureFlow® system.
