Kaeser TD51 Air dryer

• Drying compressed air for pneumatic control systems in food processing.
• Ensuring dry air for packaging machinery to prevent moisture contamination.
• Providing clean, dry air for food-grade conveying and sorting operations.
• Protecting sensitive instrumentation and valves from corrosion and ice formation.

Type

Refrigerated air dryer, commonly used for its efficiency in removing moisture.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates typically range from 3 to 6 m³/min (100-200 CFM).

Maximum operating pressure

Units of this type commonly operate up to 16-18 bar (230-260 psi).

Refrigerant type

Modern units commonly use refrigerants such as R134a or R407C, with older units potentially using R22.

Power supply

Typically 230V, 50Hz, single-phase, though larger units may require three-phase power.

Dew point

Refrigerated dryers typically achieve a pressure dew point of +3°C to +7°C.

Footprint

Compact design, commonly measuring around 600mm x 400mm x 700mm for this capacity range.

• What is the primary function of a refrigerated air dryer?

  A refrigerated air dryer cools compressed air to condense and remove water vapour, preventing moisture-related issues in downstream equipment and processes.

• What is the significance of the refrigerant type?

• What does '18Bar' refer to in the description?

Used air compressors for lab and pharma applications are generally valued for reliability and cost savings. Buyers typically prioritize checking maintenance history, confirming pressure ratings meet specific requirements, and verifying oil-free operation where contamination control matters. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, consistent performance across extended operational hours, and significant capital cost reduction compared to new units. Inspecting seals, checking for corrosion, and confirming recent servicing records are standard considerations when purchasing secondhand.
