Kaeser TD51 Air dryer

Applications & Use Cases

• 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.

Typical Specifications

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.
