These units can be optionally equipped with protective enclosures and super-silencing outdoor installation versions are also available.Ĭombination with Activated Carbon AdsorberĪvailable in sizes from DC 12 upwards, DC dryers are equipped with an ACT activated-carbon adsorber that is precisely matched to meet dryer capacity. Energy-saving performance control via ECO Control basic and ECO Control Minimal pressure difference and low purge air requirement not only reduce both service and operating costs, but also reduce the demands on load, desiccant volume and filter size. The modular construction enables easy transportation and installation, whilstĮxcellent component accessibility greatly simplifies maintenance and service work. With an open design and suited for pressures up to 10 bar(g), or optionally up to 16 bar(g), these large desiccant dryers provide the same reliability and efficiency as their smaller counterparts. The space-saving, installation-friendly design with protective enclosure is ideally suited to localised applications.
The ten-minute treatment cycle ensures low pressure dew points to -40 C, even with low compressed air demand and provides maximum system reliability. In addition, long cycle periods reduce the number of flow optimised components required for reliable, integrated performance, such as KAESERs pre- and particulate filters. Consequently, this means that minimal quantities of purge air are required for desiccant regeneration, even after longer than average periods of operation. The outstanding drying results are aided by generous quantities of KAESERs high quality SIGMA Dry desiccant, as only a fraction of the materials initial load is used.
Meticulous design and quality ensure that KAESER DC Series desiccant dryers operate efficiently to provide dependable low-pressure dew point performance at continuous load, even under the toughest of conditions. Therefore, additional drying is essential to avoid production downtime and interruptions, as well as reduce costly maintenance and repair work.
This is why, as the air cools further, significant amounts of condensate can accumulate in the air distribution piping and at take-off points. Even then, the air can still be completely saturated with water vapour. This condensate is then removed in the centrifugal separator, or the air receiver, downstream from the compressor. When the air is cooled, its capacity to hold moisture reduces which causes the water vapour to condense. As air temperature rises as happens during compression the air's capability to hold moisture increases also.
However, the amount of water vapour that air can carry depends on the temperature. The atmospheric air drawn into a compressor is a mixture of gases that always contains water vapour.
