Van Air HB Series heated regenerative compressed air dryers are designed to protect pneumatic equipment and processes from the harmful effects of moisture within compressed air lines. When you don't have compressed air to spare, Van Air HB Series air dryers provide the solution requiring no purge air for adsorbent desiccant regeneration.

Van Air HB Series heated regenerative air dryers are able to process large volumes of compressed air both economically and efficiently. Unlike a heatless regenerative air dryer, Van Air HB Series air dryers require no compressed air to regenerate the desiccant. Instead, our HB Series air dryers utilize an externally mounted heater and centrifugal blower to drive hot atmospheric purge air through the desiccant bed to regenerate the adsorbent desiccant.

By using a Van Air HB Series heated regenerative compressed air dryer, you are able to dry your compressed air in the most efficient and cost-effective way. You may even eliminate the need for an extra air compressor to compensate for purge air usage. There are significant savings when compared to the air usage in a heatless or heated purge dryer of the same size, keeping more air available for your production processes.

Constructed and tested to the most demanding standards, our HB Series compressed air dryers are built in-house with quality and efficiency in mind. All HB Series desiccant vessels are ASME certified and insulated with an aluminum jacket for the greatest safety and operating efficiency. The Incoloy heater is also insulated with an aluminum jacket and is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, guaranteeing a long life. The centrifugal blower contains only one moving part for minimal vibration and ensures a long operating life. Standard on all HB Series air dryers, our patented Interlock valve ensures the most reliable tower cycling.

Factory startup, training and on-site assistance are also available. Let our experienced technicians get your compressed air system up and running hassle-free. Plus, we can train your plant personnel on the ins and outs of your dryer's operation so they can confidently maintain this key element of your air system.

Filtration Recommendations

Lubricated Compressors - Dryer must be equipped with proper Van Air pre-filters. These filters must be drained and maintained as specified. Desiccant beds should be checked periodically and replaced if contamination has occured. Failure to do so may result in hazardous operating conditions and will void the warranty. An after-filter should be installed downstream of the dryer to prevent desiccant particle migration.

Non-lubricated Compressors - A particulate or coalescing pre-filter is recommended to prevent pipe scale and dust from fouling the dryer. An after-filter should be installed downstream of the dryer to prevent desiccant particle migration.
