Tanair TAN450 | 450 CFM Refrigeration Dryer

Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryers

Refrigeration dryers are suitable for many industrial, automotive, workshop and professional applications. Operating at a dew point of +3C they are ideal for normal manufacturing processes, where compressed air distribution system is indoors.

The Tanair range of Refrigeration Dryers:

• High Performance
• Low running costs
• Reliable in service
• Simple to operate
• Built to last
• Compact design
• Service friendly
• Environmentally friendly

Air dryers remove the moisture following the compressed air process. Dry compressed air is a concept with a wide range of meanings and dew point is an indication of how dry the compressed air is or needs to be. While air can be compressed, water cannot be compressed.

Why install a dryer for my compressor?

What would happen if water or moisture entered your machine? Water in wood causes rotting, water in metal causes rust, water in walls create mould. All of these are negative to the bottom line and a headache to any manager. Now in terms of an air compressor, moisture in your machine can damage the compressor, air motors, and valves, as well as possibly contaminate the product. All because a simple air dryer wasn’t installed. The cost of a new air dryer is cheap compared to loss of production.

Why is it important to know the size of my dryer needs?

When sizing an air dryer that keeps up with your application needs; it is important to get the right fit. A dryer that is too large will cause harmful wear and tear long before normal, opposed to having an undersized dryer can lead to poor air quality downstream.

Questions to keep in mind when you are sizing the dryer for your needs:

What is the desired dew point (how dry compressed air needs to be – this will determine whether it is a refrigerated or desiccant style dryer)?
•  How much CFM will your compressor be sending through the dryer, and at what pressure?
•  What are the ambient conditions of the dryer (ambient temperature, elevation, etc.)?
•  What is the inlet temperature of the air going into the dryer?

Answering these few questions will give you a good start on selecting the right dryer technology and the appropriate size for your compressor. Remember, a desiccant dryer consumes 2% -20% of your CFM as purge air during the regeneration cycle of the vessels. With that in mind, you will need to make sure you make the necessary arrangements. If it is a new install, the compressor will need to be sized appropriately to compensate for the CFM loss during the purge cycle. If it is an existing install, you may have to upgrade the compressor. Ambient conditions and correction factors also come into play.

High Quality Filter Housings

Our new range of compressed air filter units have been designed with economy and efficiency in mind, for the removal of oil, water, particulates and gaseous aerosols from compressed air systems using a range of high performance filtration elements. The die-cast filter housings are produced from high-grade aluminium with a special feature of both external and internal surfaces being Alu-Chrome treated. In addition, they are also subject to a tough epoxy baked on paint finish in ‘compressed air blue’ – RAL 5015. These treatments are designed to provide long-term protection, even when subject to the harshest of conditions, ensuring a long service lifetime. Optional electronic or pneumatic differential pressure gauges can be fitted as required. The oil/water condensate is removed via a highly efficient robust brass drain assembly with the built-in capability to attach a 6mm diameter nylon condensate discharge line.

Filter Media

Our elements are manufactured with ‘pleated’ filter media. Pleated media has four times the amount of cross[1]sectional surface area compared to conventional wrapped or rolled media. The pleated media gives a much lower pressure drop. This in turn will save energy as the compressor doesn’t have to work as hard to get the air through the filter and with four times more media significantly longer service life is obtained. These elements provide impressive filtration efficiencies from 99.99% to 99.99999% with a further grade being specific to oil/aerosol removal down to 0.003mg/m utilising activated carbon technology. All elements are manufactured with polished aluminium end caps, which are stronger and better suited to any elevated temperatures.
