CDK 3-8S Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryer
Compact non-cycling refrigerated drying with stable 3 deg C dew point control for smaller compressed air systems.
Product Description
CDK 3-8S Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryer
Compact refrigerated drying for smaller systems and point-of-use compressed air applications.
The CDK 3-8S range provides clean, dry compressed air by cooling air through a refrigeration cycle and separating condensed moisture before downstream distribution.
A plate-to-plate heat exchanger and advanced separator design maintain a stable 3 deg C pressure dew point across varying operating conditions.
This moisture control helps protect pneumatic tools, valves, and other compressed air equipment from corrosion and contamination.
The compact air-cooled design supports straightforward installation where floor space is limited.
Models are designed for demanding industrial use with operating pressures up to 16 bar.
