What is Entrained and Dissolved Air?

Entrained air refers to tiny air bubbles that become trapped within a liquid or fluid. These bubbles can occur naturally or be deliberately introduced during industrial processes. On the other hand, dissolved air refers to air molecules that are dissolved within the liquid itself, typically under pressure. Both entrained and dissolved air can impact the performance of various systems and processes, affecting factors such as fluid viscosity, buoyancy, chemical reactions, lubricity, pump cavitation, and degraded performance in hydraulic systems. The list is extensive, and often the impact results in excess costs and safety issues that are not recognized. At PAPEC, we specialize in measuring and controlling entrained and dissolved air to optimize industrial processes and ensure efficient and safe operation. Trust us to help you manage these factors effectively and achieve optimal performance in your operations.
