Dessicant Air Dryers | Compressed Air Experts

Desiccant Air Dryers

Desiccant Air Dryers are designed with applications that require extraordinarily high-quality air in mind. While most water is removed by compressor filters, vapor can easily work its way into the air stream. Desiccant Air Dryers use a substance called a Desiccant to attract and collect water vapor, thoroughly removing it from the compressed air stream, in addition to lowering the dew point to -40° or lower. The desiccant air dryers Airtec recommends are guaranteed to be some of the industry’s finest.

Providing a clean air supply for your plant is one of the best ways to ensure reliability as well as efficient production. When the air particles are compressed, moisture is accumulated and spread through your air lines if its not properly treated. Excess moisture in your system can cause:

Buildup of rust and increased wear to moving parts within the compression system
Washing away of important lubrication
Freezing in control lines that can cause malfunctions in colder weather
False readings in certain instruments

…all of which can lead to system shutdowns if they carry on too long. Desiccant Air Dryers are designed with applications that require extraordinarily high-quality air in mind.

The AMD Series Dryers (4-175 scfm) provide solutions for applications requiring a low pressure dew point of either -100°F or -40°F with flow ranges of 4 – 175 scfm. Equipped for use all over the world, thanks to the wide range of acceptable voltages-between 100 and 240 VAC and 12 to 24 VDC.

AHLD Heatless Regenerative Desiccant Air Dryer

The AHLD Series (70-8,000 scfm) is a reliable, heatless desiccant dryer designed for total energy efficiency. Includes purge saving Energy Management System (EMS), NEMA 4 electrical system, mounted-pre filter and after filter standard with each.

AHCR Heatless Corrosion Resistant Desiccant Air Dryer

The AHCR Series (70-2,000 scfm) is a rugged, heatless desiccant dryer with NEMA 4X stainless steel electrical enclosure, stainless steel control air tubing, no yellow metals, and marine-grade industrial paint (UV resistant outdoor, caustic resistant paint) applied with the Aircel Premium Paint Process. Mounted pre-filter and after filters included standard with each model.

CDP Heatless, Critical Dew Point Desiccant Air Dryer

The CDP Series (70 – 1,250 scfm) provides a low dew point in a heatless, regenerative desiccant dryer. Designed to ensure -100°F dew point for critical applications. Great for critical dew point industries such as semi-conductors, cryogenics, and medical devices. Mounted pre-filter and after filter included standard with each model.

BHD Series, Breathing Air System Desiccant Air Dryer

The heatless Breathing Air Series (50-1,000 scfm) provide the clean, dry air necessary to keep your workers safe. The BHD System utilizes a seven step process to produce Grade D quality breathing air. This process removes a variety of contaminants, including dust, dirt, water, oil, hydrocarbon vapor, and dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Standard CO monitor and three-step filtration included with each model.

ABP Heated Regenerative Blower Purge Desiccant Dryer

The ABP (800-10,000 scfm) heated blower purge desiccant air dryer with 2% purge rate was created with energy savings and usability in mind. The high-efficiency blower bringing in ambient air for the regeneration cycle, Aircel Programmable Controller, heatless back-up mode, Parallel Cooling Mode, and standard Energy Management System work seamlessly to create maximum energy savings to the bottom line.

AEHD Externally Heated Regenerative Desiccant Dryer

The AEHD (150-3,000 scfm) is an externally heated desiccant dryer with mid-bed energy management based on relative humidity and a purge flow rate of 8% (6% with venturi option). High temperature paint, heater vessel, and hot purge piping with insulation and aluminum jacket protects personnel and prevents heat loss. High efficienc, mounted pre-filter and after filter standard with each model.

AZP Series Zero Purge Heated Desiccant Dryer

The AZP (800 – 10,000 scfm) is a highly efficient, zero purge loss desiccant dryer with near zero dew point spike. A recirculated cooling system moves air more efficiently, eliminating the need for dry, compressed air to be used to cool the dryer. Mounted pre-filter and after filter included standard with each model.
