Product Description
Why we need compressed air dryers
Untreated compressed air contains many contaminants such as water,
compressor oil, pipe scale and contamination from ambient air. All
these contaminants cause excessive corrosion, erosion, freezing and
product contamination to all components that come in contact with
the untreated compressed air. A regenerative type dryer system with all
recommended filtration will remove these contaminants to harmless levels.
The end result is that instruments that come in contact with the dry
compressed air stay clean and do not corrode, therefore lasting much longer.
Products that may come in contact with clean dry compressed air is virtually
unaffected, hence rejection rates are reduced.
nano regenerative desiccant air dryers dry compressed air to -40°F below PDP
(pressure dew point). The compressed air stream is passed through a desiccant
bed, which removes the moisture through the process of adsorption. Twin
towers filled with the desiccant alternate between drying and regeneration
either based on dew point or a fixed time cycle. nano® manufactures various
types of desiccant air/gas dryers. These dryers offer fail-safe design in the
event of power interruption, along with tower operating status lights and the
highest quality non-lubricated air/gas inlet valves that ensure reliable
operation for many years to come.
