Ingersoll Rand D480IN-A Refrigerated Air Dryer

Applications & Use Cases

• Drying compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in general manufacturing.
• Providing clean, dry air for packaging lines in food and beverage production.
• Protecting sensitive instrumentation and control systems from moisture damage.
• Ensuring product quality in pharmaceutical and chemical processing by preventing condensation.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from 400 to 600 CFM (cubic feet per minute), depending on the specific model variant and operating conditions.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a single-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK, with power consumption around 1.5 to 2.5 kW.

Refrigerant type

Modern refrigerated dryers commonly utilise environmentally compliant refrigerants such as R407C, as specified for this unit.

Ambient temperature range

These dryers are typically designed to operate effectively in ambient temperatures ranging from +2°C to +50°C, ensuring performance in various industrial environments.

Pressure dew point

A standard refrigerated dryer aims to achieve a pressure dew point of approximately +3°C to +7°C, suitable for most general industrial applications.

Footprint

The footprint for a dryer of this capacity is typically compact, designed for integration into existing compressor rooms or production areas.
