SPX Hankison – HCD Series Heat of Compression Desiccant Air Dryers
The Hankison HCD Series provides a cost-effective solution to remove moisture from compressed air. The sustainable energy saving design reduces operating costs and delivers instrument quality air. Thermal energy generated during the air compression process is effectively utilized to regenerate the off-line desiccant bed. Ideally suited for oil-free air compressors, HCD series dryers turn “waste heat” into energy savings.
Advantages:
- Consumes under 50 watts, less than the power requirement of a typical lap-top computer
- Offers the lowest cost of operation as compared to conventional dehydration technology
- Delivers ISO 8573.1: 2010 Air Quality 2 to 4 (-40°F to +37°F)
- Fully packaged, skid mounted design, provides ease of installation
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Better By Design
Standard Features
- Pressure vessels are designed in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 1
- ASME rated pressure relief valves control pressure build-up due to process upset
- Expanded metal personnel protection and hot pipe insulation provides added safety measures
- NEMA4/4X, IP66 rated controller, polycarbonate enclosure for protection in corrosive environments
- Flow models 350 to 450 scfm employ angle seat valves for reliable operation
- Flow models 600 to 10000 scfm utilize nonlubricated, high performance butterfly valves
