KAESER TB 26

COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC DRYER FOR COMPRESSED AIR

KAESER TB 26

Compressed air contains water and oil. A refrigerated cycle air dryer

compressa reduces the temperature of the same before it enters the network of

distribution, retaining condensate and other particles that would precipitate in the plant.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF KAESER COMPRESSED AIR DRYER

The hot compressed air entering the dryer is precooled in the first exchanger of the new KAESER SECOTEC system by the already dried and cool air that leaves the machine.

• The same air then passes to the second exchanger of the SECOTEC system where it releases heat to the refrigerant evaporator, reaching the dew point temperature at the existing pressure.

• The SECOTEC system stores the cold produced by the refrigeration unit.

• The condensate is separated from the air by means of the downstream separation system.

The now dried and cooled compressed air is heated in the initial heat exchanger and finally exits the machine with a truly minimal pressure loss.

Cooling cycle

• The cooling system is hermetically sealed and equipped with service valves.

• The refrigerant gas is drawn into the refrigeration compressor where it is compressed to the condensation pressure.

• In the air-cooled condensator, of new design, heat is transferred to the ambient air: in this way the refrigerant gas condenses into a liquid which is sent back, after the expansion capillary, to the air-compressor refrigerant heat exchanger.

• The refrigerant evaporates by absorbing heat from the compressed air, then is drawn in and compressed by the refrigerator compressor, and the cycle starts again.

• In case of partial load, the dew point value at pressure is kept constant by the new KAESER SECOTEC accumulator system, which, by intermittently activating the refrigerant compressor, guarantees high energy savings.

Separation system

• Multistage separation system, maintenance-free, Zentry-Dry in high-grade stainless steel with high separation efficiency even under conditions of large flow rate variability.

• The separated water, oil and other particles are removed by an electronically controlled level KAESER ECO-Drain condensate drain installed as standard.
