Refrigerated type compressed air dryers

As the temperature of air reduces, its water vapour holding capacity comes down drastically. This principle is employed in refrigerated type dryers. Compressed air is cooled by refrigeration system thereby reducing its water vapour holding capacity. Water vapours above the holding capacity at reduced temperature condense into water droplets and are removed in water separator. The resultant compressed air becomes dry to pressure dew point equal to its reduced temperature (generally around +2?C to +8?C). As long as the temperature of compressed air, as it travels through the system does not fall below the dew point temperature produced in the dryer, no more water vapours will condense into troublesome liquid in downstream airlines. Features: lower energy consumption compared to other type to dryers for equivalent degree of dryness; heat exchangers maintain high degree of heat exchange efficiency and lower pressure drop through out life of dryer; consistent degree of dryness over a wide range of flows and operating conditions; units supplied in rugged industrial cabinet pre-wired and piped for easy installation; safety interlocks for compressor, fans, etc; easy access to all parts; unit built under strict quality control procedures to maintain consistently high product quality; and requires low maintenance during its life.
