Air leaving a compressor is hot, dirty, and wet – which can damage and shorten the life of downstream equipment, such as valves and cylinders. Before this air can be used, it needs to be cleaned and lubricated. That’s where an FRL comes in! An FRL combines a filter, regulator, and lubricator into one component to keep air compressor systems in optimal working condition.
An FRL is comprised of three primary components:
Each of these individual components has its own role, supporting the larger air compressor system. We will explain more about these roles in the following sections.
