KA-MT 1-8 Series Compressed Air Adsorption Dryer With Activated Carbon Stage

The Parker KA-MT 1-4 range of heatless adsorption dryers with integrated activated carbon stage are designed to dry industrial compressed air reliably and efficiently down to a pressure dew point of -70°C (-40°C standard) with a maximum remaining oil content of 0.003 mg/m³. The units are compact and designed to be installed free standing, or wall mounted. KA-MT compressed air dryers come with an integrated activated carbon stage for the removal of oil vapours and pre- and post high efficiency OIL-X filters. They are capable of volume flows up to 35 m³/h in a system operating at 7 barg (100 psig).

Features
• Pressure dew points down to -40°C (-25°C and -70°C options available)

• Volume flows up to 35 m³/h @ 7 barg (100 psig)

• Pre- and post OIL-X filters installed as standard

• Fully dewpoint dependent controller is possible as an option

• Remaining oil content of 0.003 mg/m³

Benefits
• Highest quality air

• Energy efficient

• Dry air means zero corrosion

Energy Savings
Where an application calls for a unit able to cope with variations in operating pressure and load, the installation of a dew point sensor at the outlet of the dryer is available as an option. In such an operating mode, the changeover cycle between vessels only takes place when required, and is dependent on the required dew point being achieved. Only upon reaching this adjustable set dew point, does changeover to the regenerated vessel occur. This feature enables the drying phase to be lengthened and thus avoids the unnecessary use of purge air for regeneration and consequently provides energy savings.

Compressed air can be selectively dried to meet a dew point of -25°C down to -70°C.

Sizing and Selection
To ensure quoted air purity performance is met, a compressed air dryer must be sized correctly for minimum operating pressure, maximum inlet temperature and maximum inlet flow rate using the correction factors found in the Product Information Sheet.
