Compressed air dryer saves energy

Energy Miser EM Series of compressed air dryers uses a simple refrigeration system to cool a liquid solution. By monitoring the temperature of the liquid solution, the refrigerant compressor runs only when needed, allowing the unit to run only to meet demand. The dryer uses R-507 refrigerant that efficiently absorbs heat loads, allowing the use of a smaller compressor.
