What are the operational limits for ambient and process temperatures?


The unit operates effectively within an ambient range of +2°C to +40°C and supports a process temperature range between +5°C and +50°C.

How does the refrigerant choice impact environmental compliance?


Utilising R134a and R407C ensures that the dryer meets stringent environmental regulations, contributing to ozone layer protection.

What is the significance of the dew point specifications?


The dew point of 3°C ensures that compressed air remains dry, preventing moisture-related issues in pneumatic systems and tools.

How does the maximum flow rate affect air supply?


A maximum flow rate of 18m³/h enables efficient air delivery in demanding applications, enhancing productivity by maintaining consistent air pressure.

What maintenance considerations are necessary for optimal performance?


Routine checks should include examining the auto drain functionality and ensuring the inlet air temperature stays within specified limits for optimal operation.


Dry Air Systems


Compressed air is an essential power source that is widely used throughout industry. This safe, powerful and reliable utility can be the most important part of a production process. However compressed air will contain water, dirt, wear particles, bacteria and even degraded lubricating oil which all mix together to form an unwanted abrasive sludge. This sludge, often acidic, rapidly wears tools and pneumatic machinery, block valves and orifices causing high maintenance and costly leaks. It also corrodes piping systems and can bring a production process to an extremely expensive standstill. Only compressed air that is totally clean and dry will ensure maximum savings.
