Regenerative Desiccant Dryers

Regenerative desiccant dryers supply the best possible protection for pneumatic instrumentation or sensitive process air.

Twin towers containing special desiccants ADsorb moisture. While one tower is in a drying cycle, wet desiccant in the other tower is regenerated. Standard pressure dew point is -40° F. Dew points as low as -100° F are possible for special applications. A unique Interlock Logic Control system assures reliable valve sequencing and tower changeover. And, a patented valve design delivers years of dependable, maintenance free performance.

Heatless dryers, from 3 through 5000 SCFM, are designed for simplicity and low initial cost. Our Cycle Savertm and EMCON II® energy saving controls provide maximum economy for heatless dryer operation. Mounted filter packages are available on 150 to 2000 SCFM model.

Internally heated dryers , from 150 through 3000 SCFM, provide dry air through the most ifficient use of convection, conduction, and radiant hear. A small amount of compressed air is used to dry the desiccant during regeneration.

Externally heated, blower purge dryers , from 350 through 10,000 SCFM, process large volumes of air economically. No compressed air is required for regeneration. Hot atmospheric air from an externally mounted blower and hearter is used to regenerate the desiccant.

Special/larger models are available on request.

Single Tower Desiccant Dryers

Single tower desiccant dryers prevent moisture contamination by suppressing the pressure dew point by 20°F or more at inlet air temperatures of 100°F. Moisture is removed from the air as it passes through a bed of moisture-ABsorbing desiccant. Single tower dryers are the most versatile and cost-effective dryers manufactured today.

Initial investment is small. Operation is energy - efficient; no external power source is necessary. Installation is simple and easy. And, since they can be installed indoors or out, these dryers are very adaptable to changing conditions.

The best vessel warranty in the business tells you that Van Air single tower dryers are built to last. Maintenance is minimal as the dryer has no moving parts. Just add desiccant - usually no more than two or three times per year - for efficient operation.

Single tower drying packages provide complete system protection. The Dry Paktm is skid-mounted and ready to install. for more flexibility, the VAN System provides all necessary components which can be installed as needed.

Standard models are available from 7 to 16,000 SCFM. Special high pressure models are available on request.

Desiccants

Accept no substitute. Only genuine Van Air desiccants give you the peace of mind and expertise behind years of development. And only Van Air desiccants validate your single tower dryer warranty.

Refrigerated Dryers

Van Air refrigerated dryers are precision-engineered for efficient, reliable, long-lasting service. Models are available from 10 SCFM to 7,500 SCFM.

Refrigerated dryer operation is totally automatic with virtually no maintenance required. Air is cooled by mechanical refrigeration to condense entrained water vapor; a high-efficiency moisture separator automatically removes condensate.

Van Air refrigerated dryers are performance proven in providing dependable dry air. Control components of the hightest quality ensure a constant 35°-39° F or 50° F pressure dew point to allow your air system to function at its best. Self-adjusting controls monitor and compensate for varying flows, pressures and temperatures, thus making thses dryers well-suited to a wide range of operating applications where installation and related piping are not exposed to freezing conditions.

Installation is easy; piping and electrical connections are all that is required. Instruments are panel mounted for high visibility. Panels are easily removed for quick access to controls. Standard models are available for high inlet temperatures.

A variety of options and accessories are available to meet your exact specifications.

Compressed Air & Gas Filters

Van Air filters pretect compressed air dryers, equipment, instrumentation and processes by removing compressor oils, dirt, rust and other types of contaminants. With Van Air filters, your air system and pneumatic equipment will operate trouble free.

Flow capacities are available in a complete range from 15 to 20,000 SCFM at 100 PSIG. All are rated for a maximum working pressure of 250 PSIG with the exception of high temperature models.

Van Air F200 filters , from 15 to 1000 SCFM, feature 14 cast aluminum models with simple push on elements and single element design.

F101 filters , from 500 to 5000 SCFM, feature six welded steel models with in-line connections and easy bottom access to the elements.

F102 filters , from 1500 to 20,000 SCFM, feature nine welded steel models with quick opening top loading for easy access and servicing. Ten filtration grades are available in three categories; oil removal, particle removal, vapor removal. All filter elements are designed and built to provide maximum reliability and service life at the lowest pressure drop.

Mist eliminators provide long-term oil removal with minimal pressure drop for lubricated compressor systems.
