Refrigeration Dryer Packages

The dryer should be rated above the compressor's actual delivered airflow. Apply the manufacturer's correction factors for pressure, inlet temperature and ambient temperature rather than selecting from nominal CFM alone.

A sensible capacity margin helps the dryer manage warmer conditions, pressure changes, demand peaks and future system growth without becoming overloaded.

Dual filtration typically targets bulk contamination and fine oil aerosols. A three-stage package adds activated-carbon filtration to reduce oil vapours and odours where that treatment is required.

No. A refrigerated dryer primarily removes moisture. The final air quality depends on the compressor type, filtration stages, installation and maintenance.

Filter placement depends on the package and required air quality. General-purpose filtration is commonly used before the dryer, with finer filtration downstream. Follow the product-specific installation instructions.

Confirm airflow, pressure, inlet temperature, ambient temperature, electrical supply, ventilation, condensate drainage, connection sizes and service clearance.
