The air is pure, no secondary pollution, integrated skid-mounted design, compact structure, stable dew point, remarkable water removal effect.
Stainless steel plate heat exchanger with high heat exchange efficiency and compact structure.
Independent stainless steel steam-water separator with high water separation efficiency, timely separates condensed water and other impurities from compressed air and discharges them out of the machine.
The whole machine is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which will not rust and prevent secondary contamination of compressed air.
Single chip intelligent control, real-time display of evaporation temperature, including over-temperature alarm, electrical fault, high pressure alarm, low pressure alarm and other functions.
The compressed air first enters the pre-cooler for initial cooling, and then passes through the pre-cooling/reheating section of the high-performance 3-in-1 plate heat exchanger for further cooling. It subsequently enters the evaporator section, where it is rapidly cooled and the condensed moisture is separated.The treated low-temperature compressed air then returns to the pre-cooling/reheating heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the incoming hot compressed air. This reheats the dry compressed air before it is discharged from the dryer.The refrigeration system precisely adjusts the compressor speed according to changes in system load. The operating frequency is automatically regulated to match the actual air treatment demand, ensuring stable and energy-efficient operation.
Low energy consumption: the three-in-one plate heat exchanger is adopted, and the whole machine can save 20~30% of energy consumption;
Low pressure drop: the pressure loss of the whole machine is less than 0.015MPa, which is lower than the national standard;
Low dew point: under standard working conditions, the pressure dew point is as low as 2~10℃, and the electronic bypass valve is adopted, making the system more stable;
Environmentally friendly and durable: the whole series adopts environmentally friendly refrigerant R410a/R407C, which meets international environmental standards and has a maximum pressure of 1.6MPa;
A refrigerated air dryer removes water vapor from compressed air by cooling the air until moisture condenses into liquid water. The condensate is then separated and automatically drained before the dry compressed air returns to the downstream air system.
Refrigerated dryers are commonly used where a stable, moderate pressure dew point is sufficient. They are widely applied in manufacturing, automotive production, CNC machining, pneumatic equipment, packaging, painting, textile production, and centralized factory compressed air systems.
Lingyu offers both air-cooled and water-cooled refrigerated air dryers, with capacities from 1.5 to 160 m³/min (approximately 53 to 5,650 CFM) across the AH and WH Series.
Air-cooled refrigerated air dryers use ambient air to remove heat from the refrigeration circuit and do not require an external cooling-water system.
The Lingyu AH Series covers airflow capacities from 1.5 to 110 m³/min (approximately 53 to 3,884 CFM) and is suitable for small to large industrial compressed air systems.
Air-cooled models are typically selected when:
Water-cooled refrigerated air dryers use an external water circuit to remove heat from the refrigeration condenser.
The Lingyu WH Series covers airflow capacities from 10.5 to 160 m³/min (approximately 371 to 5,650 CFM), making it particularly suitable for large centralized compressed air systems.
Water-cooled models are typically selected when:
The correct refrigerated air dryer should be selected according to actual airflow and operating conditions rather than compressor capacity alone.

For most industrial installations with adequate ventilation, an air-cooled refrigerated dryer provides the simpler solution.
For large centralized compressed air systems or facilities with existing cooling water and limited heat dissipation, a water-cooled model is generally more suitable.
Lingyu refrigerated air dryers are suitable for:
Applications requiring substantially lower pressure dew points should consider a desiccant air dryer.
Application: Industrial compressed air system
Cooling Method: Air-Cooled
Available Capacity: 1.5–110 m³/min
Inlet Temperature: Rated 50°C, maximum ≤80°C
Pressure Dew Point: 2–10°C

Pressure Dew Point: 2–10°C
Suitable for large airflow installations with centralized cooling water or limited compressor-room heat dissipation.
Refrigerated air dryers are commonly used for industrial applications requiring a moderate pressure dew point. Actual performance depends on dryer design and operating conditions. Refer to the specifications of each Lingyu model for rated pressure dew point.
Dryer capacity should be selected according to actual airflow, operating pressure, inlet temperature, ambient temperature, and required dew point. Correction factors may be required when operating conditions differ from rated conditions.
Air-cooled models are generally simpler to install and suitable for most industrial applications. Water-cooled models are often preferred for large airflow systems or installations with limited ventilation.
Compressor airflow is the starting point, but it should not be the only selection parameter. Actual operating conditions can significantly affect dryer capacity.
Refrigerated dryers are typically used for general industrial compressed air, while desiccant dryers are selected when significantly lower pressure dew points are required.
