HP Externally Heated Regenerative Compressed Air Dryer

Van Air HP Series heated purge regenerative compressed air dryers are designed to protect pneumatic equipment and processes from the harmful effects of moisture within air lines. Our HP Series compressed air dryers provide a low -40° F/C pressure dew point for superior air line moisture protection while offering the efficiency of convection-heated desiccant regeneration with minimal purge air. These factors, along with the high flow capabilities of the HP Series compressed air dryer, make for an ideal dryer for use in general manufacturing and process industry applications.

The HP Series heated regenerative air dryer requires no overhead clearance to replace the heating element since it is located outside of the dryer vessel. Our HP Series compressed air dryers incorporate a heatless back-up mode to keep the dryer on stream if the heating element requires service. This prevents loss of production in the event of heater failure or maintenance.

The externally located heating element of the HP Series compressed air dryer also provides an extra measure of safety compared to that of internally heated air dryers. The external heater protects against overheating and other physical damage to the desiccant. Therefore, not only does the external heater provide additional safety, but can also extend the life of the drying system.

Constructed and tested to the most demanding standards, our HP Series externally heated regenerative compressed air dryers are built and tested at our facility located in Lake City, PA. All HP Series desiccant vessels are ASME certified and utilize our patented Interlock valve logic. The Interlock valve used on all HP Series compressed air dryers ensures the most reliable tower cycling on the market.

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 maintain this key element of your air system with confidence.

1 For total desiccant weight, multiply by two.
• Rated flows based on 100 PSIG, 100° F inlet and 100% RH. Consult factory for other conditions.
• Desiccant shipped installed on HP-150 through HP-500. Desiccant shipped separately on larger units.
• Due to continuous improvement, dimensions and specifications may change without notice.
• Request certified drawing for pre-piping.

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.
