Aircel VF Refrigerated Non-Cycling Dryers
10 - 1,200 scfm
Download Brochure

The Aircel VF Series dryers offer highest efficiencies at varying flow conditions in a lightweight, compact design. No other dryer in the industry can offer the efficiency ratings achieved by the VF Series dryers in variable flow operation.

VF Series dryers are built with the patented Variable Flow heat exchanger, which allows for desired dew point performance regardless of flow variations. Typically, other dryers with mechanical moisture separators lose performance as compressed airflow velocity increases or decreases substantially around the nominal design point.

  • 38°F - 50°F Dew Point
  • Ambient Air Temperature 35°F - 120°F
  • Maximum Inlet Air Temperature 140°F
  • Maximum Operating Pressure: 200 psig
  • 1 Year Standard Limited Warranty
  • Environmentally Friendly Refrigerant R-134a
  • Best choice for Rotary Screw Compressors & Units That Have Existing Aftercoolers

Aircel RTM Refrigerated Cycling Dryers
2,500 - 30,000 scfm
Download Brochure

The Aircel RTM Series (2,500 - 30,000 scfm) utilizes high efficiency compressors with defined loading and unloading capacities and a thermal mass medium for energy storage. The refrigeration system cools the thermal mass medium to a predetermined lower temperature. Once that temperature is reached, the system goes into standby mode until the temperature rises to another predetermined set point. Only then does the system come out of standby mode and once again cools the thermal mass medium. No energy is wasted when demand on the dryer is low. The RTM dryers are ideally suited when large air volumes need to be dried to a reliable and constant dew point.

  • 38°F - 50°F Dew Point
  • Ambient Air Temperature 35°F - 120°F
  • Maximum Inlet Air Temperature 140°F
  • Maximum Operating Pressure: 150 psig
  • 1 Year Standard Limited Warranty

Aircel AEHD Heated Desiccant Dryers
150 - 3,000 scfm
Download Brochure

The Aircel AEHD Series uses less purge air compared to heatless air dryers which give off 15% of total dry air created. This is because the AEHD series uses an external source to heat the purge air. This results in lower energy demands and higher amounts of dry air available per cycle for use. Also, the AEHD Dryer is fully automatic for easy operation and a fail-safe design in case of power interruption.

  • -40°F Dew Point
  • Ambient Air Temperature 38°F - 125°F
  • Inlet Air Temperature 40°F - 110°F
  • Operating Pressure: 60 - 150 psig
  • 1 Year Standard Limited Warranty

Aircel HRE and HRS-L Heated Desiccant Dryers
600 - 10,000 scfm
HRE: Download Brochure
HRS-L: Download Brochure

The Aircel HRE and HRS-L Heated Dryers blow atmospheric air over the desiccant bed to get rid of remaining water molecules and regenerate the desiccant. Process air is only consumed during depressurization and repressurization of the off-line tower and, in the case of the HRE, during cool-down of the regenerated bed. This amounts to an average 2% of the rated capacity of the dryer. The less purge air used, means more dry air passed along for utility use. Also, by reducing the purge air needed, it allows for a smaller compressor that requires less energy to run. The heated blower HRE/HRS-L dryers are the most efficient of all dryers to operate. The HRE and HRS-L may have a higher initial cost than the heatless desiccant dryers, but they have substantially lower operating costs. This saves money and results in a lower lifetime cost of the dryer.

The Aircel AHLD Series is based on the traditional twin tower concept. Regeneration is achieved by using a partial stream of the dried air, expanded to atmosphere, and directed through the off-line desiccant bed. In addition to standard designs Aircel has the experience, engineering and manufacturing capabilities to design dryer systems of any size including pressures up to 10,000 PSIG and volume flows up to 20,000 SCFM. Designs that meet NEMA ratings of all types or other specialty industry codes such as "pharmaceutical" or "offshore" are easily accommodated.
