Compressed air dryers are often left un-serviced until a problem with moisture is occurring in the plant. This is not the most economical way to maintain these types of units. The air dryers in the system are responsible for removal of approximately 40% of the moisture contributed by the compressor. (The after-cooler in the compressor is responsible for the first 60%.)

Refrigerated air dryers must be installed properly under the right conditions. Meant to operate at specific conditions such as 100°F inlet temperature and 100°F ambient temperature, these units will be reduced by as much as 50% capacity if not maintained. Items such as the condenser, condenser fan and pressure considerations associated with the refrigeration cycle must be monitored and maintained to reduce contamination of the piping network and breakdown of expensive internal parts.

Desiccant air dryers are often left untouched until moisture appears in the plant. There are also critical elements of this type of dryer, which must be maintained. Once associated filters and switching valves on the dryer are neglected the load on the desiccant will initiate premature change of the desiccant bed resulting in the expensive replacement of the media.

Don't be fooled into thinking that neglecting these important elements of the compressed air system will result in savings. In our experience the failure to maintain this equipment will result in complete overhaul costs exceeding the budget plan and further delaying much needed service.

Let our experienced and trained staff implement a preventative maintenance plan so that your facility can benefit from clean, dry compressed air and reduced operating costs.
