Energy efficiency
A unique combination of high-efficiency components, smart unit design and an advanced control system enables you to combine low pressure drop with a low power consumption. With an FD VSD refrigerant dryer, you can maximize your energy savings from the first minute of operation.
Components designed for efficiency Heat exchangerThe heat exchanger has been designed to reduce the pressure drop and increases the performance of the dryer.  ControllerOur state-of-the art controller uses a saver cycle control. Increasing energy efficiency due to smart regulation based on the dryer load.  Refrigerant compressorBy using a scroll refrigerant compressor this unit consumes an average of 30% less power than reciprocating/piston refrigerant compressors.  Expansion valvesThermostatic expansion valves regulate the dryer behavior to the most optimal condition depended on the actual operating conditions. |
VSD: driving down your energy cost
More than 80% of the dryer’s total lifecycle cost is taken up by the energy it consumes. To cut your energy costs, we offer dryers with Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology. VSD leads to major energy savings, reducing the energy consumption by about 35%, protecting the environment for future generations. In almost every production environment, compressed air flow fluctuates depending on time of the day, actual demand…
Additionally, inlet humidity & operating temperatures vary as well. VSD technology allows the FD VSD dryers to adapt and operate in the most energy efficient way at all operating conditions.

Low pressure drop
The lower the internal pressure drop of the dryer, the lower the pressure that you need to achieve with the air compressor, and the less energy the air compressor consumes. We have therefore put considerable efforts into minimizing pressure drop of the FD dryer.
Our FD dryers are designed to have a very low internal pressure drop thereby minimizing the compressor power consumption.
Low total cost of ownership
A unique combination of highly efficient components, a variable speed drive, an advanced control system and refrigerant technology allows you to use a reliable way to bring the dewpoint down to 3°C / 38°F with minimum energy.
From service perspective the activities are limited to cleaning the unit and inspecting the drain.
A step ahead in monitoring and controls
It is not only components using cutting edge technology that define the ultimate energy efficiency of the FD and FD VSD dryers it is also how these components are sized and regulated during operation.
FD dryers are equipped with the Elektronikon® Mk5 touch unit controller that is designed to be compatible with our air compressors and avoid energy losses.
The Elektronikon® Touch controller is specially designed to maximize the performance of your FD refrigerant dryer under a variety of conditions. It provides you with increased energy efficiency, lower energy consumption and reduced maintenance times.
