\"\"<\/a>The Sub-Freezing Dryer is the world\u2019s first dryer that provides -20\u02daC (-4\u02daF) pressure dew point at 70% lower energy costs and 40% smaller footprint than that of traditional desiccant dryers.<\/p>\n

Ingersoll Rand\u2019s new Sub-Freezing Air Dryer is compatible with oil-flooded rotary compressors, oil-free rotary compressors, centrifugal compressors and reciprocating compressors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Sub-Freezing Air Dryer achieves class leading air quality, previously only attainable with far costlier drum or desiccant dryer technology. We have developed new technology that provides our customers with high quality, -20\u02daC dew point air, from a high performance regenerative refrigerant dryer in an efficient and economical package,\u201d said Rolf Paeper, vice president of product management and marketing for Compression Technologies and Services at Ingersoll Rand. \u201cThis breakthrough technology provides very dry air without wasting energy or purging compressed air; customers have the full capacity of their compressor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sub-Freezing Dryer supplies a constant ISO Class 3-20\u02daC(-4\u02daF) pressure dew point air, regardless of changes in demand or ambient temperatures. This allows customers to dependably meet the compressed air needs of their operation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cWhether customer\u2019s needs are general purpose or they are manufacturing critical products such as pharmaceuticals, the Sub-Freezing Air Dryer delivers the air quality they need,\u201d Paeper said. \u201cThe high-efficiency, superior operating cost alternative \u2013 Ingersoll Rand\u2019s groundbreaking Sub-Freezing Dryer \u2013 provides real customer value.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sub-Freezing Dryer has a lower total cost of ownership than traditional regenerative desiccant dryers and has an 80 percent lower maintenance cost than drum dryers.<\/p>\n

Unlike drum and desiccant dryers, there is no costly periodic desiccant replacement, and with no desiccant required, downstream particulate filtering is not needed.
