What are the basics of refrigerated air dryers?

Applications that require moisture-free air may suffer because of compressed air's naturally inherent moisture. Air dryers are a well-liked method of eliminating moisture. The refrigerated air dryer system is one of the most popular choices since it can achieve an acceptable dew point in most industrial plant air applications.

How Refrigerated Air Dryers Work?

Similar to domestic refrigerators or home air conditioning systems, Trident Pneumatics is one of the leading refrigeration air dryer manufacturers that works on a similar principle. In an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger, compressed air is cooled to roughly 35°F. At this temperature, the moisture decreases and drains off.

The incoming air is precooled before entering the dryer, and the exiting air is reheated as it leaves. The pressure dew point of the compressed air that exits the dryer is normally between 35 and 50 °F.

Non-cycling refrigerated air dryers –

In a non-cycling refrigerated dryer, the system's refrigerant is constantly circulated. A hot gas bypass valve is frequently used to regulate the temperature of the refrigerant and avoid freezing working conditions within the system since both compressed air flow and ambient temperatures vary.

The refrigerant vaporises inside the air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger in various systems. After being compressed by an air- or water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger, it is then condensed. With this architecture, operating load fluctuations can be responded to quickly.

Variable speed refrigerated air dryers-

Most compressed air systems cannot operate in the presence of static temperature and flow. A variable-speed refrigeration system can be utilised to control the refrigerant compressor under reduced loads and lower temperature conditions to match dryer energy usage to air demand.

When compared to dryers without a cycling mechanism, this offers important operating cost savings.

Advantages of refrigerated air dryers include:

· Low initial capital cost;

· Relatively low operating cost;

· Low maintenance costs.

About Trident Refrigerated Air Dryers-

With their rotary and reciprocating compressors, Trident Pneumatics' air treatment parts are made to operate with ease. Compressed air has long been considered the fourth utility, following water, natural gas, and electricity. In many industrial, commercial, and instrument applications, it is the ideal energy source.

Moisture naturally occurs while compressing air. It is crucial to remove this moisture using a desiccant compressed air drier, or a refrigerated air dryer systems compressed air dryer to prevent expensive equipment failure, product contamination, and distribution system failure.

Trident Pneumatics offers a variety of air dryers that can work alone or in combination with an air filter to meet your dew point requirements to:

· Prolong the life of the product by preventing lubricants from being rinsed away by downstream components;

· In processes including mixing, conveying, chilling, and product blowdown, lessen product contamination;

· Reduce corrosion in the compressed air system, which would raise pressure drop and operating expenses.
