Refrigerated Air Dryers
Air dryers are essential for removing moisture from compressed air, which helps prevent damage to equipment, improves efficiency, and enhances product quality.
- Refrigerated air dryers are among the most popular choices for removing moisture in compressed air systems. They operate by cooling the air, which condenses the water vapor, allowing it to be separated from the air stream.
- Refrigerated dryers effectively remove moisture down to dew points around 35-40°F (1.6-4.4°C), which is sufficient for most industrial applications.
- Especially with cycling types, energy consumption is reduced during periods of low air demand.
- Refrigerated dryers have fewer components that require maintenance compared to desiccant dryers, making them easy to maintain and highly reliable.
- Heatless desiccant air dryers use a desiccant material (such as silica gel or activated alumina) to absorb moisture from compressed air. They operate on a twin-tower system, where one tower dries the air while the other regenerates the desiccant by venting a portion of the dry air back through the tower.
- Capable of achieving very low dew points (-40°F/-40°C or lower), which is essential for moisture-sensitive applications.
- The heatless design eliminates the need for external heaters, making it more energy-efficient and simpler to operate.
- With dual towers, these dryers can provide continuous, uninterrupted air drying, even during the regeneration cycle.
- Ideal for industries where extremely dry air is crucial, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and electronics.
The heatless air dryer designed specifically for laser cutting applications features a specialized design that ensures optimal performance in high-pressure environments. This dryer utilizes a unique five-stage filtration system and also expansion of nozzle to effectively remove moisture and contaminants from the compressed air, ensuring that the air used in laser cutting is pure and dry.
