Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryers

[KenRad]

I'm looking for some recommendations on manufacturers of refrigerated compressed air dryers. I would be using them on a couple of 800 SCFM, 100 psig oil-free compressors; looking for the standard 40F dewpoint. I am familiar with Hankison and Airtek, but was looking for some other options. I'd appreciate any input from folks who have experience (positive or negative) with other makes.

With all the mergers in this industry very few independents are left.
SPX Air Treatment

is the big name on the street. They manufacture filters and dryer products under the Airpel, Delair, Deltech, Dollinger, GD Engineering, General Pneumatics, Hankison,Kemp, Pneumatic Products, and Plenty Filter brands.

I have used both Sabroe and Domnick Hunter refrigerated air dryers and their performance is very good. Hankison is also good. Generally refrigerated air dryers can give you -25⁰C ADP without any problem. This corresponds to 3⁰C PDP at 10bar (It may be possible to get -40F ADP at this pressure).

As your air pressure is low and also required dryness is high I suggest you to have a second thought on refrigerated air dryers.

Ken:
I can help you with either Ultra-Air or Air Solutions Group refrigerant dryers - Both are made in the Good Ol' USA. Air Solutions Group is a new division of Lectrodryer and located in Kentucky.
