Compressed air dryer

The air that surrounds us contains a certain amount of water in gaseous form.
Picture this as an all-encompassing and slightly damp sponge.
If we squeeze this “sponge”, the collected water drips out.
The same occurs when one produces compressed air.
Unlike air, water is not compressible, which increases the water concentration, which is then expressed as “water” in the compressed air.
To avoid a multitude of problems in the compressed air system, this moist air must be treated.
Javac has a multitude of solutions for this, from centrifugal filters, over condensation dryers, to absorption dryers, from the simplest application for DIY to the most sophisticated absorption dryers for EVs, trainsets and trams.
The how and why is quite easy to explain: air becomes pregnant with water vapor at higher temperatures, and the colder the less water.
This influences the amount of water when the compressed air is created.
Let’s take an example at an operating pressure of 7 bar and a flow rate of 12,000 litres/minute at an ambient temperature of 20 °C and at a relative humidity of 80%, this leads to a quantity of water per hour of 10 litres.
If this amount of water comes into contact with the compressed air user, i.e. sandblasting, machines, control valves, etc., this is guaranteed to lead to malfunctions.
By equipping your compressed air system with a suitable compressed air dryer, you prevent these kinds of problems, which usually lead to heavy costs, loss of time and frustrations in the work.
Condensation forms a permanent danger to operational processes.
At Javac you will find various solutions depending on your application, from the simple centrifugal filters to the sophisticated 3-way absorption dryers, our various compressed air dryers offer you considerable advantages in price and application that you can use specifically for your core activity.
Important criteria for your choice of the desired compressed air dryer include the desired degree of drying, the compressed air flow rate, the ambient temperature, and finally the intended quality class.
As a rule, next to centrifugal filters, refrigerated dryers and absorption dryers are the most commonly used techniques in the compressed air drying process.
Our condenser refrigerant dryers are standard equipped with a pre-filter and post-filter, so that they function perfectly in the vast majority of applications, including reciprocating, scroll and screw compressors, while our adsorption dryers achieve a wide spectrum of drying degrees and quality classes between -20 °C to – 70°C.
In order to find exactly the right solution for your compressed air application, we place the same high demands on our offers as on our exclusive products: transparent, long life, and tailored to the customer.
