Standalone Compressed Air Dryers

Tanair Refrigeration Dryers

Compare the full standalone Tanair refrigeration dryer range from 21 to 450 CFM, including TAN-RD and standard TAN models for workshop, manufacturing and industrial air systems.

Choose the Correct Refrigeration Dryer

This page contains 13 verified standalone Tanair refrigeration dryers, arranged by nominal airflow from 21 CFM through to 450 CFM.

Nominal capacities span 21 to 450 CFM. Correct sizing must be based on the compressor's actual delivered airflow and adjusted for operating pressure, inlet temperature and ambient temperature.

Refrigerated drying primarily removes moisture. Where particulate, aerosol or vapour removal is required, suitable filtration should be selected as part of the complete air-treatment system.

Size the dryer above the compressor's actual delivered CFM and apply the relevant correction factors for site conditions. Do not select from compressor kW alone.
Buying Guide

How to Size a Refrigeration Dryer

A dryer should not be selected from compressor motor power alone. Start with actual delivered airflow and then account for the real operating conditions.

Actual Airflow

Use the compressor's delivered CFM rather than motor kW or theoretical displacement.

Working Pressure

Dryer capacity changes with pressure, so apply the manufacturer's correction factor where required.

Inlet Temperature

Warmer compressed air carries more moisture and can significantly reduce effective dryer capacity.

Ambient Temperature

High compressor-room temperature can also reduce dryer performance and must be considered.

Our usual sizing approach: allow sensible spare capacity above compressor flow. As a general cross-sell guide, we normally size treatment equipment at compressor CFM ÷ 0.8, giving roughly 20% spare capacity.
Range Overview

TAN-RD & Standard Tanair Dryer Ranges

22–45 CFM

TAN22, TAN32 and TAN45 cover compact workshop and smaller compressed-air systems.

91–115 CFM

TAN91 and TAN115 cover medium workshop and industrial installations.

175–209 CFM

TAN175 and TAN209 cover larger industrial systems.

300–450 CFM

TAN300 and TAN450 cover the highest-flow applications in the standalone range.

Air Quality

What Does a Refrigerated Air Dryer Remove?

A refrigerated dryer cools compressed air so water vapour condenses and can be separated and discharged. This helps reduce water carryover into the downstream distribution system.

  • Helps reduce moisture and condensate in compressed-air pipework
  • Helps protect pneumatic tools and downstream equipment
  • Supports more consistent compressed-air quality
  • Can reduce moisture-related corrosion and maintenance
A refrigerated dryer does not by itself make compressed air oil-free. Oil aerosol, fine particulate and vapour removal require the appropriate filtration stages.
Installation

Refrigeration Dryer Installation Checks

  • Confirm actual compressor airflow and corrected dryer capacity
  • Check maximum and normal operating pressure
  • Confirm compressed-air inlet temperature
  • Check compressor-room ambient temperature and ventilation
  • Confirm electrical supply
  • Check inlet and outlet connection size
  • Provide suitable condensate drainage
  • Allow access for servicing and maintenance
  • Select suitable upstream and downstream filtration where required
Filtration

Do I Need Filters With a Refrigeration Dryer?

In many compressed-air systems, yes. The dryer manages moisture, while filtration deals with solid particles, liquid aerosols and, where required, oil vapour.

The exact filter grades depend on the application and required air quality. Pre-filtration can also help protect the dryer and improve the reliability of the complete treatment system.

FAQs

Refrigeration Dryer FAQs

Which dryers are included on this page?

The verified standalone range is ordered by airflow: TAN22, TAN32, TAN45, TAN91, TAN115, TAN175, TAN209, TAN300 and TAN450.

How should I size a refrigeration dryer?

Size it from the compressor's actual delivered airflow and apply the relevant correction factors for pressure, inlet temperature and ambient temperature.

Should the dryer have spare capacity?

Yes. A sensible margin helps accommodate warmer conditions, demand peaks, pressure changes and future system growth.

Are filters included?

Check the individual product listing carefully. This page is intended to present the refrigeration dryer range; filtration requirements should be confirmed separately unless a specific product states that filters are included.

Does a refrigerated dryer make the air oil-free?

No. Refrigerated drying primarily removes moisture. Oil removal requires suitable filtration.

Can I select the dryer from compressor kW?

No. Use the compressor's delivered airflow and the actual operating conditions.

Can Compressed Air Systems UK install and service the dryer?

Yes. Installation, pipework, condensate management, servicing, repairs and technical support are available subject to the equipment and site.
