Dryers #4943819

For small applications that need very dry air, Kaeser offers a wall mounted version of its heatless adsorptive desiccant dryer, the KADW. These dryers are based on a "counterflow" design. Towers dry air as it flows up, and purge air on the way down. Therefore the driest desiccant is always at the top of the bed. This results in air leaving the on-stream tower consistently at the specified dew point.To ensure proper unit operation, the towers are designed to limit the air velocity. This prevents bed fluidization and desiccant dusting and ensures proper contact time between the air and desiccant.All units are designed for easy connection to an optional Kaeser Oil Removal (KOR) prefilter and the Kaeser Particulate (KPF) afterfilter.

Nominal flows for Secotec dryers are based on fully saturated air at 100 psig and 100F, with ambient air temperature of 100F. To correct the rated capacity of a Secotec dryer for actual conditions, find the capacity correction factor corresponding to inlet and ambient conditions. Multiply these factors to find your "overall" correction factor and multiply the dryer's rated capacity by the overall factor to determine the dryer's capacity at your operating conditions. Select the smallest dryer having enough capacity to meet your requirement.

Hot compressed air contains a large amount of water. In fact, at 75F and 75% relative humidity, a typical 25 hp compressor will generate 6 gallons of water every 8 hours.As the saturated air moves downstream, water vapor cools and condenses into liquid. As a liquid, water promotes rust and corrosion in piping, tools and product. Rust leads to air leaks and pressure drops. Maintenance and repair costs on pneumatic equipment increase, products can be ruined, and production time is lost. Kaeser's TX Series refrigerated dryers efficiently remove the harmful moisture by cooling the air and forcing moisture to condense. Once condensed, the water is removed from the system by a separator and drain trap.

Flow Capacities Maximum inlet flow capacities at various pressures:To determine a dryer's inlet flow capacity at inlet pressures other than 100 psig, multiply the dryer's rated inlet flow (found in Table 1) by the multiplier from Table 2 that corresponds to the system pressure at the dryer inlet.KAD Dew Point Options Meet ISO 8573.1 Air Quality Standards (Table 3)Models KAD and KAD PS allow the user to select outlet pressure dew points corresponding to the four different ISO 8573.1 air quality classes.KAD E models are preset to deliver the commonly used ISO 8573.1 Class 2 outlet pressure dew point.
