Refrigerated Air Dryers

 What is a Refrigerated Air Dryer?

A refrigerated air dryer removes moisture and contaminants from compressed air by chilling the air to a temperature of about 37°F, which causes the moisture in the air to condense and form droplets. Werther’s refrigerated compressed air dryer is compact, efficient, easy to install, service, and use.

Benefits of Refrigerated Air Dryers

Werther International’s refrigerated dryer products are engineered for quality compressed air treatment and to avoid costly contamination issues. These refrigerated air dryers are reliable, efficient, and compact. A refrigerated air dryer is an energy-efficient and contamination preventative product, and Werther's are state-of-the-art.

Cycling Vs. Non-Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryers

Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryer

A cycling refrigerated air dryer is an energy efficient and cost-effective compressed air dryer solution. This type of refrigerated air dryer saves energy by cycling the refrigeration on and off based on the demand.

Non-Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryer

A non-cycling refrigerated air dryer is designed to run continuously. This type of refrigerated air dryer has a lower initial cost and consistently stays at an ideal dew point for your operation.

Refrigerated Air Dryer Process

Compressed air enters an air to air heat exchanger for the initial chilling phase. Then the compressed air travels through an evaporator where it reaches a dew point of 37°F to improve the water condensation process. Next, the chilled, compressed air goes to the condensate separator. Here the now dry air runs through the air to air exchanger before it is sent to the actual system in order to facilitate the first chilling phase of the inlet air.

Common Industries and Applications

These refrigerated dryers perform the drying and provide compressed air that is useful for a broad range of applications. Some of the common industries that use refrigerated air dryers include:

• Pharmaceutical
• Cosmetic
• Laboratory
• Chemical Processing
• Food & Beverage
• Medical
• Biotechnology
• Dental
