Definition

The Refrigerated Air Dryer is used for maintaining comfortable moisture level in the atmosphere.

Characteristics

  • Adopted to obtain CFC free environment friendly refrigerant system of R134a & R404
  • Includes a fine filter combination with an auto air drain for effective separation of dust, oil and moisture for true dew point
  • Lowest achievable dew point
  • Obtains least differential pressure drop across the complete unit including fine filter combination
  • User friendly control panel
  • Supplied with automatic expansion valve and hot gas bypass system for continuous duty operation even in under load condition for certain model
  • Compact design with maintenance friendly workmanship
  • Vast range with air cooled and water cooled version
  • Backed by efficient after sales service with easy spares availability

Advantage

  • A refrigerated air dryer will remove liquid condensate from your compressed air which will protect your equipment and process from the damage moisture can cause.
  • All dryers have high energy saving copper heat exchangers and stainless steel condensate separators
  • Auto alarm and shut down safety systems help to protect the refrigerated air dryer in the event of a malfunction or excessive temperature
  • Electronic auto drains ensure condensate is effectively removed.

Feature

  • Constant Pressure
  • Dew Point
  • Low Pressure drop
  • Upto 5000 CFM
  • Low Pressure Dryer

Classification

There are 2 different kinds of Refrigerated Air Dryer widely available in the global market. These are:

  • Economy/Compact Refrigerated Air Dryer
  • High Inlet Temperature Refrigerated Air Dryer

Economy/Compact Refrigerated Air Dryer

Economy/Compact Refrigerated Air Dryer
  • It uses aluminum cooling heat exchangers
  • It produces the lowest pressure drop ratings in the compressed air industry.
  • These compact refrigerated air dryers alow for great space savings.

High Inlet Temperature Refrigerated Air Dryer

High Inlet Temperature Refrigerated Air Dryer
  • It is used for high inlet air temperatures (up to 210°F).
  • It eliminates the need for a separate aftercooler, moisture separator, and particulate filter.
  • It is Designed for applications in environments with high ambient temperatures.
  • It is ideal for when a high inlet air temperature dryer is required.
