According to Kaeser, Fredricksburg, VA, its redesigned High Temperature Refrigerated Dryer (HTRD) with quick-release front panel offers easy installation and low maintenance. By reducing water and harmful contaminants in compressed air systems, these multitaskers are said to help extend tool and equipment life and improve product quality by eliminating flaws in paint and finishes.
Small and compact, all HTRD models feature a precooler/reheater, chiller, demister, and drain trap. The company notes that the units are well suited for systems with small piston compressors in the 5- to 30-hp range, or commercial shops with high discharge temperatures or problems due to dusty, humid ambient air.
