The Shell Tube Refrigerated Air Dryer is designed to provide stable and efficient moisture removal for industrial compressed air systems. It uses a refrigeration drying process to cool hot compressed air, condense water vapor, and separate the liquid moisture before the air enters downstream equipment.
During operation, compressed air passes through the internal heat exchange and refrigeration system, where its temperature is reduced to the required level. As the air cools, water vapor condenses into liquid water, which is then removed through the separation and drainage system. The dried air leaves the dryer with a stable pressure dew point of 2°C to 10°C, helping protect pipelines, pneumatic components, valves, and production equipment from moisture-related damage.
With its air-cooled design, the dryer provides reliable heat dissipation and stable performance under continuous industrial operating conditions. It is especially suitable for applications requiring dependable compressed air quality, moderate pressure loss, and long-term system reliability.
To ensure stable drying performance and reliable long-term operation, the Shell Tube Refrigerated Air Dryer should be used under the following recommended conditions:
- Applicable fluids: Compressed air, non-corrosive air
- Rated inlet pressure: 0.7 MPa
- Allowable pressure range: 0.6–1.0 MPa, other pressure levels customizable
- Rated inlet temperature: 50°C
- Maximum inlet temperature: ≤ 80°C
- Pressure loss under full load: < 0.025 MPa
- Outlet pressure dew point: 2°C–10°C
- Rated ambient temperature: 35°C
- Ambient operating range: 2°C–45°C
- Cooling method: Air-cooled
For the best operating result, the dryer should be installed in a clean and well-ventilated environment. Stable inlet conditions and proper system configuration help maintain drying efficiency, reduce pressure loss, and extend equipment service life.
