Desiccant Dryers DC Series

Compact design with impressive performance

With space saving design and easy installation, small DC desiccant dryers from KAESER provide outstanding performance and efficiency. They are constructed from components of the highest quality and sustain dependable low-pressure dew point performance even with continuous operation. As with all KAESER desiccant dryers, compact DC units operate in long, energy-saving cycles that are gentle on components and consequently require little maintenance. Furthermore, their high efficiency design ensures minimal purge air is required for desiccant regeneration.

Compact DC desiccant dryers are ideal for decentralised air treatment applications where space is at a premium, as they can be simply mounted on the wall. They also provide the perfect solution for achieving the very low-pressure dew points required by the packaging and pharmaceutical industries for example, as well as for installations in containers and production of instrument air.

Seamless integration with exceptional results

As a leading compressed air systems provider, KAESER understands that each component plays an integral role in efficient production of clean, quality compressed air. Therefore, all DC Series desiccant dryers are manufactured to ensure the very highest standards in system reliability and performance.

With KAESER's knowledge and expertise, these units can be seamlessly integrated into carefully designed compressed air systems to provide outstanding drying results.

Reliable drying results with material-friendly ten minute cycles

Small DC desiccant dryers also operate in ten-minute cycles to achieve pressure dew points of -40 °C. By reducing the number of switching sequences between the tanks, this method significantly reduces the load on valve components and the SIGMA Dry desiccant. Moreover, long cycle times reduce the amount of compressed air required to restore pressure after the desiccant regeneration phase. For example, 7.6% of the compressed air has to be diverted for a two-minute cycle. However, this proportion drops to 1.3% for a ten-minute cycle with a small DC dryer from KAESER KOMPRESSOREN. This reduction saves energy and extends desiccant service life. The outstanding reliability and efficiency of DC dryers is further aided by the flow optimised round interior of the stainless steel desiccant tank and by streaming of air through the desiccant via the specially designed screen filters.
