Combined filter and dryer unit slashes dry air bills
February 15th 2009 Parker Hannifin's Moduflex Dry Air System is designed to increase the efficiency and reliability of compressed air systems, with integral pre-filtration to 0.1µm and further filtration after the air is dried, preventing degraded desiccant passing downstream.
The firm says the system makes operation and maintenance simple and cost effective, combining long lasting quick change filters and dryer combi-cartridges. The quiet running unit can be serviced in situ in under 15 minutes due to multiple in-line inlet and outlet connection ports, keeping maintenance costs down. Service intervals are up to 12,000 hours and a built-in electronic service indicator notifies maintenance personnel when attention is needed.
The unit is able to clean and dry compressed air down to -40°C pressure dewpoint as standard, enabling ISO 8573.1 Class 2 to be met simply and cost effectively, while a pressure dewpoint of -70°C is also achievable to meet ISO 8573.1 Class 1 for critical applications.
Additional features, such as remote indication of servicing requirements, a wall mounting kit for securing the dryer vertically or at a 45° angle to a wall or canopy, or the facility to pipe away the regeneration exhaust air for silent operation, are available.
