Benefits

Outstanding energy efficiency

An advanced variable speed system adjusts the output of the compressor and the condenser to the actual demand, which reduces energy consumption by up to 90 % at partial load.

A stable dew point without fluctuations

The electronically controlled expansion valve and intelligent control ensure constant air quality with no fluctuations of the dew point, even under variable loads.

Smart microprocessor control

The advanced controller continuously analyses temperature, pressure and operating conditions and optimises the operation of the dryer for maximum efficiency and reliability.

Fast adaptation to load changes

A thermal accumulator in the heat exchanger allows the system to respond quickly to changes in flow rate and prevents fluctuations in operation.

No air loss during condensate drainage

The electronic, level-controlled condensate drain ensures complete moisture removal without any loss of compressed air.

High-performance heat exchanger

The aluminium heat exchanger with high flow rates ensures low pressure losses, high efficiency and resistance to contaminants.

Clear control and diagnostics

The multifunction display provides an overview of operation, alarms, energy consumption and service intervals, and allows easy integration into monitoring systems.

Environmentally friendly solution

Also available with R-513A refrigerant with a low GWP, with no impact on the ozone layer and with a high safety classification.
