HOW DOES A COMPRESSED AIR DRYER WORK?

Air coming from any compressor is 100% saturated for that pressure and temperature combination. When air travels downstream, the temperature drops which results in the formation of condensation. This condensate water is detrimental to downstream equipment, and it may affect downstream critical processes or even cause corrosion. To avoid this compressed air dryers are used. There are different types of air dryers available based on the application. The most popular option is refrigerated air dryers.

In the majority of industrial applications, the compressed air requirement is always variable. In a conventional air dryer, the refrigeration cycle would work continuously. Whereas to cater to this variable requirement ELGi's Airmate Refrigerated Premium (AR P) Series is an energy-efficient option that during lower demand of compressed air shuts down the refrigeration cycle, thereby saving energy.
