Activated Carbon Tower - Clean Air Treatment Kaeser′s Activated carbon Towers (KAT) are single tower pressure vessels filled with activated carbon adsorbent, that virtually eliminates oil vapor in compressed air. Other hydrocarbon vapors normally absorbable by activated carbon are also removed. KAT′s are used where oil vapor and odor contaminate end products such as food and drugs, or when the odor makes the environment uncomfortable. Activated carbon works by adsorbing contaminants onto the surface of its internal pores. This process continues until it is saturated. When this occurs, the spent activated carbon should be removed and replaced.
Easy Installation The KAT only requires piping connection for complete installation. For best performance, the KAT should be installed after a refrigerated air dryer. Using a Kaeser coalescing oil removal filter as a prefilter will greatly extend the life of the carbon bed. A Kaeser particulate filter installed after the KAT will prevent carbon dust and other solid contaminants from going downstream and harming equipment.
Engineering Data Maximum Inlet Flow Capacities Table 1 lists the maximum inlet flow capacity at 100 psig. To determine maxi mum inlet flows at inlet pressures other than 100 psig, multiply the maximum flow from Table 1 by the multiplier from Table 2 that corresponds to the KAT inlet pressure.
Tower Sizing At an inlet oil vapor concentration of 0.1 ppm w/w, the adsorber tower has a life of 30,000 hours at rated flow conditions. This concentration corresponds to air saturated with typical mineral oil at 75°F and 100 psig. At an inlet oil vapor concentration of 0.35 ppm w/w, the adsorber tower has a life of 8,800 hours at rated flow conditions. This concentration corresponds to air saturated with typical mineral oil of 100°F and 100 psig.
Refrigerated Air Dryers - Dual Control and Demand Manager Series Dryer Sizing To select a dryer for you application, first find the capacity correction factors that correspond to your compressed air pressure and temperature from Table 1 and the ambient air temperature or cooling water temperature from Table 2. Multiply the two factors together to find the overall capacity correction factor. Multiply a dryer′s rated capacity by the overall capacity correction factor to determine the dryer′s capacity at your operating conditions. Outlet dew point correction factors may be used when the required dewpoint is greater than 38°F.
Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryers - Secotec™ Nominal flows for Secotec dryers are based on fully saturated air at 100 psig and 100°F, with ambient air temperature of 100°F. To correct the rated capacity of a Secotec dryer for actual conditions, find the capacity correction factor corresponding to inlet and ambient conditions. Multiply these factors to find your ′′overall′′ correction factor and multiply the dryer′s rated capacity by the overall factor to determine the dryer′s capacity at your operating conditions. Select the smallest dryer having enough capacity to meet your requirement.
High Temperature Refrigerated Dryer Dryer, Filter, and Drain in One Compact Package Kaeser High Temperature Refrigerated Dryers (HTRD) are specifically designed for use with 5-25 hp piston compressors, although they will work well with any similar sized compressor producing high discharge temperatures. The HTRD contains an aftercooler, refrigeration unit, filtered separator and drain to remove moisture and contaminants to a level suitable for most shop tools. This greatly increases tool life, reducing maintenance and downtime, for paint spraying applications we strongly recommend also using a KOR model coalescing filter. Easy to Install The HTRD dryer features a compact design that requires little floor space and allows for convenient installation. Staggered inlet/outlet connections make piping easy. Simply make pipe connections and plug in the electrical cord to a 120 V or 230 V depending on model, 1 phase outlet and the unit is ready for operation. Easy to Use and Maintain The dryer operates continuously without adjustments. Replacing the filter sleeve is simple and cleaning the refrigeration condenser filter and inlet strainer is easy to accomplish.
All dryers are CSA certified, CFC free, and use environmentally friendly R407c refrigerant. Five-year warranty on heat exchanger. Two-year warranty on refrigeration system.
