The cycling refrigerated air dryer is an energy-saving solution designed to deliver dry, clean compressed air with maximum efficiency. By cycling the refrigeration compressor on and off in response to compressed air demand, this type of dryer significantly reduces power consumption compared to non-cycling models. The cycling refrigerated air dryer is ideal for industrial applications that require consistent dew point control and reduced operating costs.
Key Features of Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryer
Energy Efficiency:
The cycling refrigerated air dryer minimizes energy usage by operating the refrigeration system only when necessary, saving up to 80% in partial-load conditions.Stable Dew Point:
Maintains a consistent dew point between 2°C and 5°C, ensuring reliable moisture removal for critical applications.Thermal Mass Technology:
Utilizes a thermal mass (such as glycol or water) to store cooling energy and provide consistent performance even when the refrigeration compressor is off.Eco-Friendly Refrigerants:
Uses R134a or R407C refrigerants to meet environmental standards and ensure long-term sustainability.Compact & Durable Design:
The cycling refrigerated air dryer is built with high-quality components, offering a compact footprint and long-lasting performance.
Operating Conditions and Technical Requirements
To ensure optimal operation, the cycling refrigerated air dryer must operate within the following conditions:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Inlet Air Temperature | ≤ 45°C (113°F) |
| Ambient Temperature | 5°C – 45°C (41°F – 113°F) |
| Working Pressure | 4 – 10 bar (0.4 – 1.0 MPa) |
| Dew Point | +2°C ~ +5°C |
| Cooling Method | Air-cooled or Water-cooled |
| Power Supply | 220V/1Ph/50Hz or 380V/3Ph/50Hz |
| Refrigerant | R134a / R407C |
The cycling refrigerated air dryer is engineered for high reliability under these typical working conditions.
