Product Features

Refrigeration dryers - RDP series

Refrigeration dryers RDP have been designed to effectively separate water from the compressed air thus lower pressure dew point all the way down to +3°C. Drying is achieved on the principle of cooling which takes place inside highly efficient and ultra-compact 3 stage heat exchanger. In the first stage (air-air heat exchanger) hot and humid inlet air is being precooled by the cold outgoing air. In the second stage (air-refrigerant heat exchanger) intensive water condensation takes place due to cooling the air. All condensed water is separated from the main compressed air stream in the third stage by the integrated demister. A proven and robust design of refrigeration dryers enables efficient and reliable operation, fast installation and simple maintenance.

Refrigeration dryers - RDT series

Refrigeration dryers RDT have been designed to effectively separate water from the compressed air thus lower pressure dew point all the way down to +3 °C. The main difference between RDP and RDT series is that RDT has timer controlled drain instead of an automatic drain. Drying is achieved on the principle of cooling which takes place inside a highly efficient and ultra-compact 3 stage heat exchanger. In the first stage (air-air heat exchanger) hot and humid inlet air is being pre-cooled by the cold outgoing air. In the second stage (air-refrigerant heat exchanger) intensive water condensation takes place due to the cooling of the air. All condensed water is separated from the main compressed air stream in the third stage by the integrated demister. A proven and robust design enables efficient and reliable operation, fast installation and simple maintenance.

Refrigerated compressed air dryer - RDL series

Refrigerated compressed air dryer RDL utilizes a natural evolution of the RDP series. Drying is achieved on the principle of cooling which takes place inside highly efficient and ultra-compact 3 stage heat exchanger. This series is designed with focus on essential components. Its compact size, optimized layout and innovative solutions reduce manufacturing costs whilst maintaining the same levels of reliability, quality and attention to details. RDL refrigerated compressed air dryer is designed and manufactured with respect to the environment using recyclable materials.

Refrigeration high pressure dryers - RDHP series

Refrigeration high pressure compressed air dryers for compressed air RDHP makes the most of manufacturing and functional advantages of heat exchangers, designed for high pressure working conditions. Drying is achieved on the principle of cooling which takes place with highly efficient three stage air thermal management. Excellent performance with low pressure drop and constant pressure dew point is standard on this series. Robustness, simple and ergonomic component layout guarantees functionality and efficiency.
