Medical air dryer
BeaconMedæs has launched a fully automatic, heatless medical air dryer. It incorporates advanced technology that, the company says, allows for both excellent dew points and energy savings.

Features of the LifeLine dryer include an anodised aluminium base block, in place of traditional NPT pipe connections, as well as flanged fittings on the dryer’s major connections. This technology ensures leak-free and low-pressure drop throughout the dryer process, which translates into savings on compressed air power. In addition, a state-of-the-art 441 Tower Transfer Valve with ceramic plate design helps to eliminate air losses and guarantee a reliable performance, with no servicing needed for a minimum of five years.
The new air dryer includes inlet and outlet filtration for reliable and safe operations, easy monitoring and a cost-conscious installation with minimum space requirements. Other features include inlet relief valves which protect the dryer from unintentional high pressure and outlet relief valves that maintain a safe outlet line pressure. In addition, the LifeLine dryer is equipped with an improved control panel with an easy view LCD display and alarm indicator buttons. The dryer is also available with an optional CO transmitter, featuring an innovative electrochemical cell.
The dryer’s after-cooler design ensures effective dryer operation even under heavy duty conditions, guaranteeing dew point performance. In addition, the high efficiency coalescing filters effectively remove liquids and particles from the air stream, with the inlet and outlet filters combining maximum contaminant removal efficiency with minimum pressure drop.
