KSI KTC 220 Compressed Air Refrigeration Dryer

• Drying compressed air for general industrial processes to prevent moisture-related issues.
• Protecting pneumatic tools and machinery from corrosion and wear caused by wet compressed air.
• Ensuring dry air supply for painting, coating, and instrumentation applications where moisture is detrimental.
• Maintaining air quality in food and beverage production lines where compressed air contacts products or packaging.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from 1500 to 2500 litres per minute (L/min) at standard operating pressures.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply.

Refrigerant type

Modern refrigeration dryers commonly use environmentally compliant refrigerants such as R134a or R407C.

Pressure dew point

A typical pressure dew point for refrigeration dryers is +3°C, indicating effective moisture removal.

Operating pressure range

These dryers are commonly designed to operate within a pressure range of 2 to 16 bar.

Air connections

Units typically feature standard threaded connections, commonly ranging from 1" to 1 1/2" BSP.

• What is the primary function of a compressed air refrigeration dryer?

  Its primary function is to remove moisture from compressed air by cooling it, causing water vapour to condense into liquid, which is then drained away. This prevents damage to downstream equipment and processes.

• Why is a low pressure dew point important?

• What maintenance is typically required for a refrigeration dryer?

• Can this dryer be used with any compressor?

• What are the common signs that a refrigeration dryer is not working effectively?

Chillers and recirculating coolers are valued for reliable thermal management across industrial and laboratory applications. Buyers typically prioritise units with verifiable maintenance records and minimal corrosion, as cooling system integrity directly impacts performance. Key considerations include refrigerant type compatibility, pump condition, and heat exchanger cleanliness. Industry sentiment reflects strong durability when properly serviced, though used units require thorough pressure testing before deployment. Reputable manufacturers command higher resale value, reflecting confidence in longevity and spare parts availability.
