Desiccant Dryers
Eliminating
moisture from compressed air prevents the corrosion of piping
systems and equipment that would result from prolonged exposure to
water. Kaeser’s Desiccant dryers use activated alumina to
remove moisture down to a dew point of -100°F. The activated
aluminum used in the desiccant chambers has excellent absorption
properties and as air travels through the chambers the moisture from
the passing air is absorbed. Heatless and heated blower purge
models are available.
The KADW series offers several models that are able to process air flow from 5 to 25 SCFM. KADW models are small enough to be wall-mounted which makes them ideal for localized air drying. Ten minutes is the standard cycle time but when the timer is adjusted of four minute cycles the dryer is able to remove liquid down to -100°F dewpoint.
Dryer Energy Management
Desiccant dryers are the most expensive dryers to operate, either through the use of valuable compressed air, or through separate energy supplied to heaters and / or blowers. KAESER offers energy management systems for most models, saving energy when the dryer is operated at part capacity, or when ultra-low dewpoints are not required.
