Refrigerated Extractor/Dryer®

There are many uses for compressed air that requires a reduction in the vaporous contaminants as well as the elimination of all liquids. Our Refrigerated Extractor/Dryer™ series will alter the dew point of compressed air by converting the gaseous water and oil into liquid form before air passes through the Extractor/Dryer®, which then removes 99.9% of these unwanted contaminants as liquids. Once chilled, 99.8% of the oil vapors will condense and be removed, thus virtually eliminating all of these harmful hydrocarbons. Approximately 95% of the water vapor is also condensed and removed by the Refrigerated Extractor/Dryer.

The Refrigerated Extractor/Dryer is simple, easy to operate and will provide years of clean, dry, reduced dew point, compressed air. The compressed air only comes in contact with non-corrosive materials making it suitable for use in medical and dental applications. These units are ideally used at or near the point-of-use.

Once air exits the La-Man Refrigerated Dryer it is extremely clean and dry. The longer the air travels through the airline, the better chance it has to experience a change in temperature. This change is what causes the warm air from the compressor to cool and condense into moisture. Therefore, the closer our units are to the end use, the lower the chances are for condensation to occur after exiting the Extractor/Dryer.

How it Works:

The Refrigerated Extractor/Dryer™ uses refrigerant cooling to condense water and vapors in the form of liquid aerosols before the incoming contaminated air flows through the Extractor/Dryer®. All liquid contaminates are then removed by the Extractor/Dryer and continuously drained away. The clean dry air is then reheated to a usable temperature prior to exiting the device. This ensures that the dew point of the compressed air is substantially less than the actual temperature of the air, thus eliminating the possibility of further condensation in the pipeline. The refrigeration circuit is factory set for optimum performance, preventing the possibility of freeze-ups. The operation of the Extractor/Dryer is fully automatic. In certain high humidity environments, a simple adjustment of the continuous "Weep Drain" may be necessary to ensure complete elimination of all condensed contaminants.

Maintenance:

The filtration for each Refrigerated Dryer is provided by the patented La-Man Extractor/Dryer®. The Extractor/Dryer is continuously removing contaminants from the compressed air. As a result and to ensure clean, dry compressed air, routine servicing is recommended. To make this process simple, each model has a complete Service Kit (see specifications for part numbers) which provides a 1st stage replacement element, 2nd stage replacement element, cap gaskets, base gasket, and base core (honeycomb).
