Desiccant Dryers

Begin Here: Sizing Walker Filteration Desiccant Dryers

Use this formula to select the appropriate desiccant dryer for your application:
     Max Compressor Inlet Flow Rate / (Min Operating Pressure CF x Max Temperature CF x Pressure Dewpoint CF) = Dryer Flow Rate Needed

Requirements Correction Factor
Max Compressor Inlet Flow Rate 15 SCFM  
Min Operating Pressure (to Dryer) 87 psig PCF = 0.87
Max Temperature (to Dryer) 77°F TCF = 1.06
Pressure Dew Point -94°F DCF = 0.7
Corrected Dryer Flow Rate Inlet Flow Rate
(PCF x TCF x DCF)
15 / (0.87 x 1.06 x 0.7)
= 23.2 SCFM

The appropriate dryer model would be: PD0025, which has an inlet flow rate of 25 SCFM.

PROSFD - Low Flow Desiccant Dryers

With flow rates from 4 – 35 SCFM, our range of lower flow PROSFD models provide a proven solution for compressed air drying and are ideal for smaller, point of use applications.

Designed to deliver optimum performance in line with the highest standards of air purity, as specified in ISO 8573-1: 2010, PROSFD models PD004 to PD035 are supplied as standard with a XA grade 0.01 micron coalescing filter.

With a compact design and multi-ported manifold, the dryer can be installed vertically and horizontally, providing a flexible solution to your compressed air drying needs. This highly reliable, high efficiency range of dryers features built-in energy management, allowing the purge flow to be isolated during periods of low demand for efficient use of compressed air. Whatever your application requirement, PROSFD delivers a compressed air drying solution you can trust.
