Refrigerated Air Dryers
A Refrigerated Air Dryer is responsible for extracting water vapour from compressed air as well as the pollutants it holds. Moisture condenses as a result of this process. Condensed moisture brings airborne dirt and oil to the separator, where it is removed from the air stream by an automated drain. Like most compressed air products, there are multiple options for a variety of industrial applications, we sell a wide range of state-of-the-art air compressor dryer devices, including non-cycling, cycling, variable speed, and lightweight high-temperature dryers. You can rely on our team to recommend the correct compressor dryer for your specific requirements.
There are several benefits of using a Refrigerated Air Dryer:
- Suitable for applications that do not need moisture.
- Prevent oxidation in woodworking applications by avoiding moisture-related corrosion.
- Extend the life of your air compressor • Needs little maintenance • Saves energy and money up front
Compressed air will contain invisible particles of dirt and oil, which can harm your air tools and machinery. Atmospheric air will still have some moisture in it, and compressed air will also have invisible particles of dirt and oil, which can damage your air tools and machinery. The air is heated during the regular pressurisation process, which is usually about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The vapour condenses and forms liquid droplets at high temperatures, which can harm your equipment. This problem is solved by using filters and refrigerated dryers to remove moisture and create clean, dry air.

How does a Refrigerated Air Dryer work?
- Air enters the refrigerator and flows to an air-to-air heat exchanger through an air-to-air heat exchanger. The warm air is pre-cooled by the incoming cold air.
- The air is then cooled to about 37 degrees Fahrenheit in a Refrigerated -to-air heat exchanger.
- The water droplets separate from the cold air, and the moisture is ejected from the unit. Dirt and oil are also removed by draining.
- The air is then recirculated through the air-to-air heat exchanger. The air dryer’s cooled air is reheated by the incoming warm air. The pressure dewpoint of freshly dry air is between 35 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
At Air Compressors WA, we offer a wide range of Chicago Pneumatic Refrigerated Air Dryers that offer the best protection against condensation building up in your compressed air systems. These durable machines have a simple and effective design which helps prevent any chance of corrosion and damage – saving you time and money.
Chicago Pneumatic CPX air dryer units are designed to protect your valuable air tools and equipment by removing water from the air and eliminating the risk of your system suffering costly damage. Without drying your compressed air properly, the condensation created during the use of your air compressor will stay in the system, and the damage to your transmission piping and air tools means needing to constantly replace parts and tools.
When using one of our Chicago Pneumatics Refrigerated Air Dryers, you can rest assured your compressed air is being dried effectively throughout its use and won’t cause problems with your air systems.
