50 CFM Air Dryer Rated for a 15 HP Air Compressor | DRD50

he importance of compressed air as a provider of energy for modern industrial processes is widely known. What is often overlooked however is the need to provide quality treatment for this air.

In fact, the air entering the system contains moisture which, when cooled, will turn into liquid water, causing extensive damage not only to the compressed air network, but also to the finished product.

These costly contamination problems can be avoided by installing a PRD or DNC Series non-cycling refrigerated dryer (ranging from 10 - 1200 scfm) package complete with Parker domnick hunter OIL-X EVOLUTION high efficiency filtration.

Parker domnick hunter’s revolutionary 3-in-1 heat exchanger (PRD10 - PRD175) features a 3-in-1 aluminum design with integral air connections.  All models include an air-to-air freecooler, while the unique “slowflow” demister ensures perfect dewpoints whatever the operating conditions.

Our 4-in-1 heat exchanger (DNC200 and up) offers minimal pressure drops and class leading performance, and significantly increases the efficiency of the whole compressed air treatment process. 

Compressed air purification equipment must deliver uncompromising performance and reliability while providing the right balance of air quality with the lowest cost of operation.  Many manufacturers offer products for the filtration and purification of contaminated compressed air, which are often selected only upon their initial purchase cost, with little or no regard for the air quality they provide, the cost of operation throughout their life or their environmental impact.  When purchasing purification equipment, delivered air quality, the overall cost of ownership and the equipment’s environmental impact must always be considered.

Benefits of Models PRD10 - PRD175

• “Plug and Play” design for easy installation
• Robust timed solenoid drain equals improved reliability (PRD15 - PRD175)
• Unique 3-in-1 heat exchanger
• Oversized demister separator resulting in excellent liquid removal over all operating conditions
• Oversized condenser to operate in ambients to 122˚F (50˚C)
• Fan cycling ensures stable operation
• All models incorporate a dewpoint indicator
• Extremely compact footprint
• Low pressure differential across dryer (1.45 psi average)
• ETL listed complete unit
• Dryers manufactured in facility certified to ISO9001 and ISO14001

Reduced indirect costs
Electricity required by the compressor to compensate for pressure drops in the air dryer accounts for around 25% of its total cost over 5 years.  Parker domnick hunter’s DNC Series offers average pressure drops which are about one half those of conventional systems.
