Refrigerated Air Dryers

Tests carried out by SMC Pneumatics, world leaders in pneumatic technology, have indicated that in certain atmospheric conditions the moisture contained in compressed air from a 75 kW compressor after one day’s operation could be equivalent to 113 litres of water, which is enough to fill around 150 wine bottles. Obviously any compressed air system containing this volume of air moisture will suffer from dramatically reduced valve and air cylinder performance. Therefore armed with this knowledge, SMC’s R&D engineers have now produced the perfect answer with their new range of Refrigerated Air Dryers – Series IDFA. Designed specifically for the European market, with both CE accreditation and 230 V AC (50 Hz) voltage requirements, Series IDFA effectively removes water vapour through a highly efficient stainless steel, improved corrosion resistant, heat exchanger. With eight flow rate sized options – 12 to 273 m3/h (ANR), these new air dryers use ozone friendly HFC refrigerants – R134a/R407C – and emit outlet air at 3ºC pressure point as per the ISO8573-1 standard. Incorporating an easy to see evaporation temperature gauge, to confirm correct operation, Series IDFA is highly efficient with a low pressure drop when operating for improved energy savings.
