3885 cfm refrigerated air dryer(Water Cooled)

Supports customization with a processing capacity of up to 15900 CFM (cubic feet per minute).

Design features

High Stability
Key heat exchangers are manufactured in-house. Refrigeration compressors are mainly sourced from well-known brands such as Panasonic, Copeland, Danfoss, and Hanbell, together with high-quality refrigeration components.

High-Efficiency Moisture Separation
Equipped with an independently designed and continuously upgraded water separation system, ensuring reliable and efficient moisture removal.

Wide Operating Range
Hydrophilic aluminum foil is used, while heat exchangers and pre-coolers are standard across the entire series, ensuring reliable operation even under demanding conditions.

Intelligent Dual-Compressor Design
Models from 5 to 180 m³/min feature a 1+1 dual-compressor configuration. The second compressor automatically starts or stops according to system load, improving energy efficiency and adapting to applications with significant fluctuations in air demand.

High Customization Capability
Custom colors and optional PLC control are available. Dry contacts, Modbus communication, IoT connectivity, and other functions can also be customized to meet specific customer requirements.

High-temperature compressed air containing moisture and oil first enters the water-cooled pre-cooler and air-to-air heat exchanger, where it is pre-cooled to reduce its temperature. It then passes through the air-to-refrigerant evaporator, where the compressed air is cooled to a dew point of 2–10°C.

During cooling, moisture, oil, and some impurities condense and are separated from the compressed air by the gas-liquid separator. The condensate is then discharged through an automatic drain valve.

Finally, the dry compressed air passes through the air-to-air heat exchanger, where it is reheated to near ambient temperature, providing clean, dry compressed air for downstream use.

To ensure stable performance and reliable drying efficiency, the 3885 CFM Water-Cooled Refrigerated Air Dryer should be used under the following recommended conditions:

  • Inlet air pressure: 4–10 bar (58–145 psi)
  • Inlet air temperature: ≤ 45°C (113°F)
  • Ambient temperature: 5–45°C (41–113°F)
  • Cooling water temperature: ≤ 32°C (89.6°F)
  • Cooling water flow rate: 250–300 L/min
  • Power supply: 380V / 3Ph / 50Hz
  • Installation environment: Indoor, clean, and well-ventilated
  • Recommended accessories: Pre-filter + after-filter

For the best operating result, the dryer should be installed in a clean indoor environment with stable power supply and proper cooling water conditions. Using pre-filtration and after-filtration is recommended to improve compressed air quality and help protect both the dryer and downstream equipment.

The 3885 CFM Water-Cooled Refrigerated Air Dryer is designed for large industrial applications that require dependable moisture control, stable dew point performance, and continuous-duty operation.

Petrochemical Plants

Suitable for compressed air systems used in processing, instrumentation, and plant-wide air networks where stable and dry compressed air is essential for safe and efficient operation.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Provides reliable moisture removal for pharmaceutical production environments that require clean and stable compressed air to support process consistency and equipment protection.

Steel and Metal Processing

Well suited for heavy industrial systems where compressed air is used for production lines, tools, and automation equipment. Dry air helps reduce corrosion, improve system reliability, and protect downstream components.

Textile and Plastics Production

Used in manufacturing processes that depend on continuous compressed air supply. Stable dew point control helps maintain equipment performance and reduce moisture-related production issues.

Centralized Compressed Air Systems

An ideal choice for medium to large compressed air stations serving multiple departments or production lines, especially where long-hour operation and consistent air quality are required.

High-Temperature or Tropical Regions

The water-cooled design makes this dryer especially suitable for warm environments where stronger heat dissipation and stable cooling performance are important.
