Air Dryers

Refrigerated Dryers

Refrigerated dryers are commonly used air compressor dryers that work with twin heat exchangers in order to cool down the hot air as it comes in and prevent it from condensing again.

Oftentimes the most cost-effective drying option, refrigerated dryers have wide application in most manufacturing facilities as they provide a level of dryness that satisfies most compressed air uses. Fluid Aire Dynamics is proud to offer some of the best products available in the marketplace.

Desiccant Dryers

You can use desiccant dryers when you are working with extremely sensitive products that cannot tolerate any moisture. Desiccant dryers use active desiccant material, like activated alumina, silica gel or molecular sieves, to remove water from the compressed air through adsorption as the air cycles through the machine.

These dryers can be heatless, as the desiccant material draws the moisture and a pressure-swing system regenerates it, but they can also be heated. This is sometimes known as a “heated purge dryer” or “blower purge dryer,” since it uses hot air blowers to purge the desiccant material so that it can absorb moisture effectively again.

If you have an oil-free air compressor, you may be able to utilize a Heat of Compression desiccant dryer, which uses the energy of the compression process to regenerate the desiccant.

For applications demanding ultra-dry compressed air, desiccant dryers are often the product of choice. As with refrigerated dryers, Fluid Aire Dynamics offers a wide range of models to suit any price or performance requirement.

Specialty Gas and Liquid Dryers

Some facilities generate gasses and liquids that are not common to typical manufacturing processes. For these situations, there are specialty gas dryers and specialty liquid dryers which the manufacturer designs specifically to safely remove these elements from the air.

Fluid Aire Dynamics offers a wide range of specialty dryers, designed for the removal of moisture from a variety of exotic gases and process liquids. These dryers are specially designed to meet a host of demanding customer applications.

Breathing Air Purifiers

High quality air is of vital importance to industrial facilities, but nowhere is it as critical as in breathing air applications. The purity of breathing air is crucial to assure worker safety in a wide range of applications including tank cleaning, sand blasting, paint spray and many others. Fluid Aire Dynamics can solve these critical breathing air applications with products from top quality manufacturers.

Membrane Dryers

Membrane dryers are dehumidifying dryers that work by depressing the dew point of incoming air. They are popular since they can operate continuously without electricity and are quiet and low-maintenance.

No longer relegated to simply point-of-use drying applications, membrane dryers are now available in capacities and efficiencies that rival desiccant dryers without the costly and time-consuming maintenance.  They are ideal for applications where the dew point requirement falls somewhere below +32°F (0°C) and -40°F/C.

Deliquescent Dryers

Deliquescent dryers are very simple dryers and are also popular among businesses who are looking for an electricity-free, low-maintenance solution to compressed air-drying issues. You will often use them as natural gas or landfill gas dryers. They work by using a pressure vessel containing a special tablet that absorbs water vapor as it dissolves.
