Function and Applications
Protect your production
Our patented Elektronikon control and monitoring system takes continuous care of your desiccant air dryers to ensure optimal productivity and efficiency at your site
Unlike refrigerant dryers, desiccant dryers excel in extremely low dew points, making them ideal for critical applications like pharmaceuticals and electronics. With the adsorption technology, they ensure consistent dry air, protecting your equipment from moisture and improving performance.
F refrigerated air dryer
The Atlas Copco F series refrigerant dryers keep your compressed air system in optimal shape, removing humidity efficiently and reliably. With a stable pressure dewpoint as low as 7 °C, these compact, low maintenance dryers are compatible with most compressor technologies and applications.
FD refrigerated air dryer
Based on direct expansion technology, our high quality FD refrigerated air dryers remove moisture from compressed air with a stable dew point as low as +3°C/+37.4°F. Water- and air-cooled versions are available.
FD VSD
Cut energy cost, prevent damage and boost performance in your compressed air system with Atlas Copco’s FD VSD Variable Speed Drive refrigerant air dryer.
FX industrial refrigerant air dryers for compressors
Our FX industrial refrigerant air dryers help you avoid the operational costs and downtime caused by corrosion and damage from compressed air condensation.

FD+ refrigerated air dryer
The FD+ refrigerated air dryer sets new standards in reliability and energy efficiency
In a compressed air system, the inherent by product of air compression is the formation of water and moisture, presenting potential harm to tools, equipment, and production processes reliant on compressed air. Common issues include corrosion, leading to rust formation that can damage the system and contaminate end products. Additionally, moisture promotes bacterial growth, impacting product quality, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals and food production. Fortunately, these challenges find a solution in the form of a compressed air dryer. By installing this essential equipment, issues of corrosion and moisture are effectively mitigated, ensuring the longevity of the system and the quality of end products.
How to choose your right air quality?
Equipment Analysis
Evaluate the needs of your equipment. Match air quality specifications to what various applications, especially in sensitive industries like electronics or pharmaceuticals, require.
Compatibility with your compressed air system
Ensure that the air quality standards align with what your compressor can handle. This ensures smooth integration and maintains the overall efficiency of the system.
Industry-Specific Criteria
Tailor air quality standards to industry-specific needs, local regulations and standards. Recognize the unique requirements of healthcare, manufacturing, or other sectors to meet compliance standards.
Environmental Factors
Take into account environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, as they significantly impact the effectiveness of the air treatment system.
Scalability and Adaptability
Plan for future expansions. Choose an air treatment solution that can accommodate changing demands, ensuring sustained adherence to optimal air quality standards.
Desiccant Air dryers
Function and Applications
Quality
Atlas Copco’s refrigerant dryers provide the clean, dry air you need to expand the life of your equipment and ensure the quality of your products. Our FD and FX dryers are designed in-house and tested using the most stringent methods.
Refrigerant air dryers’ function by cooling air rapidly to condensation point, and then separating the liquid water. The cooled and dried air is then reheated, resulting in compressed air with significantly reduced moisture content. This dry air is suitable for various industrial applications requiring clean and moisture-free compressed air, making refrigerant air dryers essential in processes like manufacturing and painting.
