Equipment Type

Refrigerated Air Dryer (for use with an air compressor)

Manufacturer

ABAC

Model Series

DRY (C55) A3V7021 - indicating a specific dryer model within the ABAC DRY range

Function

Removes moisture from compressed air to prevent condensation and corrosion in downstream equipment.

Typical Air Flow Capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 to 2000 litres per minute (LPM) or 18 to 70 cubic feet per minute (CFM), depending on the specific model variant.

Typical Power Supply

Units of this type commonly require a single-phase 230V or three-phase 400V electrical supply, with power consumption typically under 1 kW.

Refrigerant Type

Modern units typically use environmentally compliant refrigerants, such as R134a or R407C.

Pressure Dew Point

Commonly achieves a pressure dew point of +3°C, suitable for most general industrial applications.

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

  A refrigerated air dryer cools compressed air to condense and remove water vapour, preventing moisture-related issues such as corrosion, tool damage, and product contamination.

• Why is dry compressed air important?

• Is this unit an air compressor or an air dryer?

• What maintenance is typically required for a refrigerated air dryer?

• How do I size a refrigerated air dryer for my compressor?

Used air compressors are valued for their durability and cost-effectiveness in industrial applications. Buyers typically prioritise checking maintenance history, motor condition, and tank integrity, as these significantly affect performance and longevity. Industry sentiment favours established brands known for reliability. Common strengths include robust construction, long operational lifespan when properly maintained, and substantial savings compared to new equipment. Prospective purchasers should verify pressure ratings and output capacity match their operational requirements before committing to purchase.
