Compressed Air Dryers
Refrigerated and desiccant dryer selection, supply and installation for your compressed air system.
Refrigerated and desiccant dryer selection, supply and installation for your compressed air system.
QCAS helps businesses select compressed air dryers as part of a complete air treatment system. The right dryer depends on the moisture limit your process needs and the conditions it will face, not just the compressor motor size. We assess air demand, pressure, inlet temperature and the required pressure dew point before recommending a package. Based in Toowoomba, QCAS undertakes installations across Queensland and Northern NSW. Routine servicing and breakdown support cover a 200 km radius from Toowoomba; support beyond this area is agreed for the project.
A dryer reduces moisture in compressed air, while filters address specified particles and contaminants. Receiver storage, drainage, filtration and pipework need to work with the dryer to deliver suitable air at the point of use. Ask QCAS to confirm the dryer model, compatible filtration, installation scope and current availability. Review the complete equipment package with us so that the dryer and compressor are matched to the process.
Refrigerated dryers cool compressed air so that moisture condenses and can be separated and drained. They suit many general workshop and industrial applications where the specified moisture level is appropriate. Desiccant dryers use an adsorbent material and can achieve lower pressure dew points for more moisture-sensitive processes or conditions where condensation must be controlled at lower temperatures. Selection should consider regeneration requirements, energy use, pressure loss and maintenance as well as the required dew point. Tell QCAS what the air is used for and provide any process specification; neither dryer type should be selected solely by price or a nominal flow rating.
Provide the maximum airflow, operating pressure, compressor and existing dryer details, expected inlet temperature, ambient conditions and required pressure dew point. Rated dryer capacity depends on the stated test conditions, so a nominal capacity should be checked against your actual installation. If you are finding water at tools or production equipment, describe when it happens and which outlets are affected. The cause can involve sizing, drainage, filters, operating conditions or distribution piping as well as the dryer itself. QCAS can assess the whole system and scope the appropriate installation or service work.
QCAS can combine equipment selection with installation and commissioning and ongoing servicing. Browse our brand guides and catalogue resources or request a supply-and-installation quote.
