Ingersoll Rand D480IN-A Refrigerated Air Dryer

Applications & Use Cases

• Drying compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in manufacturing.
• Ensuring dry air for food processing and packaging lines to prevent contamination and moisture damage.
• Protecting sensitive electronic and control systems from condensation.
• Supplying dry air for instrumentation and laboratory applications.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, a D480IN-A model typically indicates a flow rate capacity in the range of 480 CFM (cubic feet per minute), though buyers should confirm with the seller.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase electrical supply, with power consumption typically around 1.73 kW.

Refrigerant type

This model commonly uses R407C refrigerant, which is an HFC blend suitable for medium-temperature refrigeration applications.

Ambient temperature range

Refrigerated air dryers are typically designed to operate effectively within an ambient temperature range of +2°C to +50°C.

Dew point

Refrigerated dryers typically achieve a pressure dew point of +3°C to +7°C, suitable for most general industrial applications.

Footprint

For this capacity, units commonly have a moderate industrial footprint, requiring dedicated space within a plant's utility area.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

  A refrigerated air dryer removes moisture from compressed air by cooling it, causing water vapour to condense into liquid, which is then drained away. This prevents corrosion and damage to downstream equipment.
