Refrigeration compressed air dryers

Refrigeration dryers are key devices in every compressed air system, ensuring high air quality by effectively removing moisture. Water in pneumatic installations can lead to corrosion, damage to tools and machinery, as well as reduced quality of the final product. Our dryers operate by cooling compressed air down to its dew point, causing water vapor to condense and then be automatically drained away. We offer refrigeration dryers with various capacities and working pressures tailored to the output of each compressor. Our devices are characterized by high energy efficiency, reliability, and ease of installation and operation. Using a CORMAK refrigeration dryer is an investment in the longer lifespan of your pneumatic system and a guarantee of stable production processes.

What are refrigeration dryers?

An air dryer for compressors is used in many industrial sectors. It is essential wherever tools and equipment powered by compressed air are exposed to damage caused by moisture in the system.

A refrigeration dryer removes water and water vapor from the air produced by the compressor, enabling smooth and trouble-free compressor operation. Any moisture in the compressed air piping negatively affects all components. It can cause corrosion of equipment, freezing of external pipes, and ultimately damage the entire installation.

An air dryer protects against such harmful moisture effects on the system, providing benefits such as:

• Avoiding unnecessary and costly production downtime,

• Reducing maintenance costs for individual components of the installation.

How does a refrigeration dryer work?

The drying process in a compressor takes place in two stages, ensuring effective air treatment for industrial applications.

First stage: Compressed air enters an air-to-air heat exchanger. Here it is cooled in a counterflow system using cooler air leaving the evaporator. This significantly lowers the temperature before the more intensive cooling stage, increasing overall efficiency.

Second stage: The compressed air flows into the evaporator, where it is further cooled by the refrigerant to the dew point temperature. This causes nearly all water and oil particles in the air to condense. The cooled air then passes through a high-efficiency separator that separates the condensed liquid from the clean air. The condensate is automatically drained via a drain valve.

After condensate separation, the clean air passes again through the heat exchanger, where it is reheated. This step lowers the relative humidity of the air, which is important to prevent condensation during later use.
