Antares Series Low Energy Tandem Technology Compressed Air Dryer

Parker Antares Tandem Technology dryers are an innovative family of compressed air dryers for volume flows from 360 to 2040 m³/h @ 7 bar g / PDP -40°C. Tandem Technology by Parker is a further development of the standard hybrid compressed air drying process. Compared to the conventional hybrid drying process, which is a simple lining-up of a refrigeration and an adsorption dryer, Tandem Technology goes one step further and fully integrates the two classic drying principles in a compact compressed air treatment package. This unique combination enables high-quality compressed air to be provided to the end-user with low energy consumption levels, when compared to more traditional adsorption dryers.

Benefits
• Reduced energy consumption up to 60% against traditional heatless desiccant dryers. This enables a payback time of less than 24 months. Higher savings are possible in partial load situations or when the required pressure dew point is above 0°C.

• The pressure dew point is freely adjustable between 5°C and -70°C, with no physical changes to the dryer. For example like changing an orifice, a nozzle or the type of desiccant material in order to reach the desired the dew point.

• Antares compressed air dryers can work with high compressed air inlet temperatures of up to 65°C.

• Very low cost of ownership due to reduced maintenance costs. Compared to standard adsorption dryers, Antares dryers need much less desiccant material. Additionally, some Antares models do not even need regular vessel inspections, the downtime therefore is very low.

• Antares help to keep process safety at a very high level with three integrated high performance OIL-X filters that are validated the demanding ISO12500 standard.

• Antares dryers are very compact, their footprint is considerably smaller compared to standard hybrid dryers of a similar performance.
