Refrigerated Air Dryers

IDF* series refrigerated air dryers are available in multiple configurations for use around the world. These standard inlet air temperture models (max. 122~149°F [50~65°C]) reliably generate dew points down to 37°F (2.°C) that is suitable for most industrial applications. All feature environmentally friendly R134a or R407C refrigerants, compact designs and stainless steel heat exchangers.

Refrigerated air dryers are indispensable for businesses relying on compressed air systems. They efficiently remove moisture from compressed air, ensuring your operations are not only more reliable but also significantly more energy-efficient.

Understanding Refrigerated Air Dryers

At the heart of every efficient compressed air system lies a pivotal component: the refrigerated air dryer. This device cools the air in the system to a specific temperature, causing moisture to condense and be subsequently removed. This process is crucial because moisture in compressed air can lead to a plethora of problems, including corrosion of equipment, freezing of outdoor air lines, and contamination of the product or process.

Refrigerated dryers are divided into two main types: cycling and non-cycling. Cycling dryers save energy by adjusting cooling capacity based on demand, while non-cycling dryers maintain a constant cooling effect. This adaptability ensures that refrigerated air dryers are a versatile solution suitable for a wide range of applications, from small shops to large industrial operations.

Why Moisture Removal is Essential

Moisture is the enemy of compressed air systems. It can cause pipes to rust, pneumatic tools to fail, and contamination of products. By installing a refrigerated air dryer, you remove this moisture, protecting your equipment and ensuring the quality of your air. This not only extends the life of your compressed air system but also safeguards your investments in machinery and tools.

Moreover, dry compressed air improves the efficiency of your system. Moisture can lead to a drop in pressure, requiring more energy to maintain operational efficiency. By keeping the air dry, refrigerated dryers help to maintain optimal pressure levels, which translates to energy savings and reduced operational costs.

Applications of Refrigerated Air Dryers

Refrigerated air dryers are versatile and can be used in a variety of settings. They are essential in industries where moisture can compromise the quality of products or disrupt processes. Automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, manufacturing, and painting operations are just a few examples where refrigerated dryers play a critical role.

These dryers ensure that compressed air is free of moisture, preventing contamination, and ensuring that processes run smoothly and efficiently. Whether you’re operating pneumatic controls, spraying paint, or packaging food, a refrigerated air dryer is a critical component that ensures the quality and reliability of your compressed air.

IDFB, Refrigerated Air Dryer, Standard Inlet -Lnmf

IDFB series refrigerated air dryers are cUL listed for use in North America. These 60 Hz models have rated flows up to 459 SCFM (780 m³/hr [ANR]).

IDF, Refrigerated Air Dryer, Standard Inlet A-LXnz

IDF series refrigerated air dryers are capable of operation on 50 or 60 Hz power for use throughout the world where specific certifications aren't required. This series includes SMC's largest units with rated flows up to 2,295 SCFM (65 m³/min [ANR]).

IDFA, Refrigerated Air Dryer, Standard Inlet -LOEW

IDFA series refrigerated air dryers are CE marked for use in Europe and other regions that require this mark. These 50 Hz models have rated flows up to 883 SCFM (1500 m³/hr [ANR]).

IDU, High Inlet Temperature Dryers

Series IDU provides a stable supply of dry air even under high demand conditions with an inlet air temperature up to 176°F. The IDU's stainless steel heat exchanger improves corrosion resistance. Each unit is also equipped with an evaporation thermometer as a standard feature.

IDH, Dryer with Outlet Air Temperature Adjustment

SMC's series IDH compact air dryer offers stable, compressed air temperature control with its integrated heater, regulator, dryer, and filter. The IDH air dryer delivers a constant volume of compressed air at the correct temperature, dew point, pressure and cleanliness, regardless of external conditions or seasonal climatic conditions. Due to it's compact size, and the ventilation holes being on the front and top, the IDH can be installed close to a wall or panel.

Dryer Accessories

Optional accessories include: a separately installed power transformer (supplies other than standard power and voltage); dedicated base (integrates a separately installed power transformer and the air dryer); dust-protecting filter set (prevents a decline in the performance of an air dryer); bypass piping set (connecting this set to the air dryer allows a substantial reduction in installation time); foundations bolt set (fixes the air dryer to the foundations); and a piping adapter (converts the thread type of and IN/OUT fitting for an air dryer).
