Pressure drop– Market competitive pressure drop

means that every FX customer can reduce cost through energy savings

– Reducing the pressure requirement and therefore the energy consumption of the compressor, brings bigger savings than most cycling or thermal mass units can achieve

FX1-21 Refrigerant DryersRecommended FX Installation Layout

FX dryer

Outlet Air Quality

Moisture +3°C/38°FParticles 0.01 micronOil content 0.01 ppm

ISO Class 1.4.1

A “wet” air receiver not only acts as a buffer, but also removes free water, which helps the dryer

The DD pre-filter protects the heat exchanger in the dryer, reduces the oil content of the air and removes particles above 1 micron

The PD after-filter removes much of the remaining oil (0.01ppm) and particles bigger than 0.01 micron.

Installing a bypass on the dryer and filters means that servicing can be carried out without disruption the air flow.

The use of electronic no loss drains not only saves valuable compressed air, but also reduces the chances of blockages and failures

A condensate separator is necessary to ensure that the drainage system is not polluted with oil
