Hi-Line Tundra Dryers Even More Efficient

18 February 2014

The Tundra range of refrigerant air dryers from Hi-line Industries are now supplied with an ultra high-efficiency, single-cell heat exchanger, providing improved condensate removal combined with a reduction in energy usage.


The new compact heat exchanger unit is said to ensure maximum efficiency of the heat transfer process which is achieved at low energy cost. While proven worldwide components used for the Tundra refrigerant system are said to ensure maximum operating reliability, liquid receivers, line dryers, thermostatic expansion valves and other safety features also help to protect the Freon compressor and its components.

 

The flow mixing chamber is located at the outlet of the air/air exchanger; this ensures that the air temperatures are stabilised with a uniform air flow entering the evaporator allowing for optimum exchange within the refrigerant fluid.


The Tundra products operate with minimal air pressure drop due to the special heat exchanger configuration, whilst also maintaining a constant +3°C dewpoint. Additional energy savings have been achieved with the provision of optional Hi-line zero loss (ZLD) condensate removal autodrains.


A total of 16 models are available ex-stock covering air throughput flow capacities from 35 to 2720 m3/h. Eleven of the smaller models run off a 230V single phase 50Hz supply with the balance run from 400V three phase 50Hz. All units are designed for operation at varying air pressures of 2 to16 barg with a maximum inlet air temperature of 60°C, and ambient air temperatures of between 0 and 50°C can be accommodated. A high pressure range for operation at 50 barg can be manufactured to order, together with larger dryers.
