REFRIGERATED DRYERS

The purist compressed air.

Ensuring the purity of compressed air is essential in industrial applications, where the presence of water vapor and contaminants can pose risks to valuable tools and machinery. That’s why our refrigerated air dryer system is designed to provide a reliable solution. Garnering widespread popularity as Gardner Denver’s leading compressed air dryer, it delivers clean and dry air with precision. Allow me to explain the process: as the air enters the refrigerator and flows through the air-to-air heat exchanger, the outgoing cold air efficiently cools the incoming warm air. Through this cooling mechanism, water droplets, along with moisture, dirt, and oil, are effectively separated from the air. The purified air then proceeds back to the air-to-air heat exchanger, where it is reheated before being released by the air dryer. Experience the benefits of Gardner Denver’s refrigerated air dryer system, ensuring the integrity of your compressed air supply with ease.

Cycling Air Dryers

Cycling refrigerated dryers use a controlled heat sink to cool the compressed air. The cycling dryers cycle the refrigeration on and off conserving energy and preventing excessive refrigeration. This air dryer provides very low operating costs because it does not waste energy through continuous operation. This is the best option for operations that use the dryer on an as needed basis.

Non-Cycling Air Dryers

A non-cycling refrigerated dryer has air continuously circulating to account for the high or low moisture density. The machine will quickly change in response to the incoming air. The non-cycling dryer ensures a constant dew point at all load levels and delivers continuous dry-air performance. Non-cycling dryers are less expensive than cycling dryers because the non-cycling dryers are constantly running at full capacity.

An advanced cycling dryer, the XGCY Series provides significant savings because it does not waste energy costs through continuous operation of its refrigeration system, as do traditional non-cycling dryers. Each component of the XGCY Series has been designed to provide not only durability, but maximum energy efficiency. This combination of system design and individual component design adds up to the most energy efficient cycling refrigerated dryer available.

The GTRC dryers offer superior performance with pressure drops ranging from 1.2 to 3.6 PSID, outperforming competitors that experience up to 6.5 PSID. Each component has been rigorously tested and proven to meet Gardner Denver’s high standards. The efficient design and quality components result in reduced energy consumption and lower electricity costs. With a wide flow range, high thermal storage capacity, adjustable dewpoint, and customizable options, the GTRC dryer delivers exceptional performance. Proudly made in America.

The GMRC design has its components laid out in a way that minimizes the footprint of the dryer as well as the interconnecting tubing. When implemented into your compressed air system, the benefits of a simplified design are increased reliability and better efficiency.

This model is a high-quality, quiet, and reliable fully hermetic compressor. Enjoy superior heat transfer with a corrosion-resistant heat exchanger and efficient moisture removal. Our clog-resistant condensate drain ensures hassle-free operation, while the durable steel enclosure and large condensers guarantee long-lasting performance.

Time, effort and attention to detail is what went into the design of the Gardner Denver GSRN. The GSRN design has its components laid out in a way that minimizes the footprint of the dryer as well as the interconnecting tubing. When implemented into your compressed air system, the benefits of a simplified design are increased reliability and better efficiency.

The RGD Series refrigerated air dryers offer the perfect balance between technology and simplicity to dry compressed air systems to a stable SO 8573-1 Air Quality, Class 4 to 5 pressure dew point. The smooth bore, copper tube-on-tube heat exchangers make for an innovative, efficient system.

The RHP Series High Pressure refrigerated air dryers are designed to produce 38°F pressure dew points for 700 – 900 psig applications. These dryers are carefully engineered with a high pressure refrigerated dryer design to provide a reliable method to remove moisture as a water vapor. Optional coalescing filters remove solid particles, liquid water droplets, liquid oil and oil vapors from the compressed air system. Industries like PET blow molding, injection molding and aeronautical valve and control testing require dry and filtered compressed air which make the RHP Series a great option.

The RHT Series High Inlet Temperature refrigerated dryers feature a unique design which works directly with reciprocating air compressors. A unique heat exchanger allows the dryer to accept elevated inlet air temperatures, up to 180°F (82°C). This allows compressed air users to send high temperature air straight from their compressor directly to the RHT Series refrigerated dryer and maintain a 50°F pressure dew point. The RHT Series is ideally suited for auto body shops, auto service centers, and light industrial facilities with 5 to 30 horsepower reciprocating air compressors.

The RPC Energy Saving Series has a reliable patent-pending heat exchanger and uses environmentally friendly refrigerants. The ESS (Energy Saving System) allows for impressive power savings by running the refrigerant compressor only when the thermal change has occurred and is needed to refreeze the vital media encapsulated in the heat exchanger.

The RSD Series challenges the previous thoughts on optimal energy efficiency. The dew point stability and energy efficiency ratings on this refrigerated air dryer were driven from extensive research and technological breakthroughs. The RSD Series is unlike any other energy efficient refrigerated air dryer on the market.

At the heart of Gardner Denver’s large capacity refrigerated dryers is the patent pending large capacity heat exchanger. Using advanced modeling and simulation software tools. the heat exchanger’s performance is optimized to deliver unprecedented performance that significantly lowers energy costs.
