ThermoStar Refrigeration Air Dryers
Why dry compressed air?
Contamination Reduces
Efficiency
The air we breathe contains contamination
in the form of water vapour and airborne
particles.
These problems can be avoided with
the correct selection and application
of compressed air filters and dryers
from Ingersoll-Rand.
During the compression process an air
compressor concentrates these contaminants
and depending on the design and age will
even add to the contamination in the form
of oil carry over.
Modern air compressors generally have built
in aftercoolers that reduce the discharge
temperature of the compressed air and with
the help of water separators, remove the bulk
of liquid water.
Corrosion
In some applications this may be sufficient,
but the remaining dirt and moisture content
suspended in aerosol form, can, if not
removed, damage the compressed air system
and cause product spoilage.

Installation Guide
Totally Environmentally
Friendly
R407C Refrigerant
Use of
environmentally
friendly R407C
refrigerant ensures
compliance with the Montreal Protocol. With
no proposed phase out of this refrigerant, the
dryer will not have to be replaced prematurely.
Energy Efficient
Use of R407C refrigerant
can reduce dryer running
costs by 10% when
compared to widely used
R134a.
The use of modern technology scroll
refrigeration compressors (3 phase units)
will reduce energy consumption by a
further 20%.
Fully Recyclable
Fully recyclable materials
used throughout.
Compact dryer design
means fewer raw materials
requiring disposal at the end
of its useful life.

Benefits

Compact and lightweight
Designed for efficiency
Modular design
Reduced risk of leaks
The heart of the dryer is the specially
designed cross flow heat exchanger module
which incorporates the air to air and air to
refrigerant heat exchangers as well as a high
efficiency stainless steel demister separator in
one compact unit.
The incoming air is first pre-cooled by cool air
exiting the dryer as it passes through the air to
air heat exchanger. This pre-cooling reduces
the refrigeration circuit by as much
as 60%. The air is then cooled even further
as it passes through the air to refrigerant heat
exchanger coupled to the evaporator.
Cross flow heat exchanger
While at it's coolest, the air is passed through
the minimum resistance integral high
efficiency demister separator where both
liquid and water aerosols are condensed into
liquid water and removed from the air stream.
This system ensures minimum air pressure
losses whilst ensuring efficient water
removal.
Cold air then flows from the outlet of the
dryer via the cross flow air to air heat
exchanger where it is heated by the incoming
air, preventing condensation build up on the
outside of downstream piping.
The crossflow heat exchanger modules have
been specifically designed to fully optimise
R407C refrigerant which is now the most
utilised HFC refrigerant and is widely
available around the world.

Using R407C and the cross flow heat
exchanger module allows the refrigeration
circuit to be smaller than equivalent R134a
systems, providing a compact design.

Compressed Air Filters
High quality compressed air is no longer
a luxury, it is essential. Compressed air
contains contamination, and if not
removed, will damage the compressed
air system and cause product spoilage.
The correct selection and application of
Ingersoll-Rand compressed air filters will
protect your air system and increase
production efficiency.

Condensate Drains
Removing oily, acidic condensate from
any compressed air system is essential,
as even a small volume can seriously
affect downstream pneumatic equipment
and processes.
Ask for Drain brochure
Ingersoll-Rand System Saver electronic
level sensing drains detect and discharge
only when condensate is present.
Intelligent operation always ensures no
unnecessary loss of valuable
compressed air.
