Beko RAc 175 w/Bekomat Refrigerated Dryer

DRYPOINT^® RA | Non-cycling Refrigerant Dryers

Refrigerant air dryers are commonly found in the majority of general industrial plant air applications. They offer users the best price-to-performance ratio in comparison to the compressed air quality produced. While the treated air may not be as dry as can be achieved with desiccant or membrane dryer technologies like DRYPOINT® X and DRYPOINT® M, the dry outlet air from refrigerant dryers is more than acceptable for the majority of applications.

Features & Benefits

How it works

Warm compressed air, saturated with water vapor, is precooled in the air/air heat exchanger (1) when entering the refrigeration dryer. The required cooling capacity of the refrigerant in the downstream air/refrigerant heat exchanger (2) is reduced by this action and the system becomes more energy-efficient. The gravitational force sustains a particularly high droplet separation of nearly 99%. In the very large condensate collection chamber with subsequent recirculation, the flow velocity is significantly reduced. Re-entrainment of already separated droplets is reliably prevented in this manner (3). The accumulated condensate is discharged from the DRYPOINT® RA via the level-controlled BEKOMAT® condensate drain avoiding any compressed air losses, and can be processed reliably using processing systems such as the QWIK-PURE® oil-water separation system or the BEKOSPLIT® emulsion-splitting plant (4). Prior to leaving the DRYPOINT®, the dried and cold compressed air is reheated in the air/air heat exchanger. Through this process, the relative air humidity is significantly reduced and the cooling capacity employed is recovered by up to 60%.
