CompAir AX42M -40°C DS Modular desiccant dryer

Description CompAir AX42M -40°C DS Modular desiccant dryer

Modular desiccant dryer (-40 °C) with dew point switching option (DS)

A compact Modular desiccant dryer with a microprocessor for low-capacity compressed air systems. Provides deep air drying down to a -40°C dew point, preventing corrosion, condensate freezing, pneumatic system damage, and microorganism growth. Used in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, automotive, and oil & gas processing industries.

Dew Point Switching (DS) Option

With this option, the unit is provided with a High Precision Dew Point sensor connected to the Digital Controller. The DS option will adjust the operation of the dryer according to the outlet air Dew Point Temperature measured by the sensor (The DS option will take over compressor offload interlock function).

DS options return of investment can be less than 1 year, reducing total cost of ownership.

Technical specifications of AXM DS:

• Capacity: 0.08-5 m³/min
• Dew point: -40°C
• Operating pressure: max. 14 bar
• Power supply: 230 V / 1 phase / 50–60 Hz
• Regeneration type: heatless (PSA)
• Control: basic microcontroller with cycle indication

The dryers use a heatless PSA method for regenerating the adsorbent material. The design does not heat up and minimizes maintenance costs.

PSA desiccant dryer are the simplest type of desiccant dryers and have long been the best choice for many industries and applications. They are simple, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for small and medium flow systems, often the only available working technology. Additionally, the modular desiccant dryer is a reliable, compact, and lightweight drying device that can be installed both in a compressor room and at the point of use.

Key advantages of AXM:

✅ High air quality: ISO Class 2
✅ Reduced ownership cost thanks to a design that processes only the required amount of air
✅ Dew Point Switching (DS) 
✅ Easy to use
✅ Compact design for space-saving installation
✅ High efficiency with low air consumption
✅ Low noise level, less than 75 dB
✅ Easy maintenance and operation
✅ Supplied with pre- and post-filters
✅ Cycle time indication
✅ Drying/regeneration indication for right/left tower

The dryer has a compact design for optimized installation with air inlet and outlet ports located at the rear of the unit, and connecting pipes can be positioned on either the right or left side. 

Desiccant dryer operating technology

Desiccant dryers work on the principle of moisture always migrating to the driest medium possible. Therefore,water vapour is removed from compressed air by passing it over an adsorbent desiccant material.

As the air contacts the adsorbent material, water vapourtransfers from the wet air to the dry desiccant, however,adsorbent materials have a fixed adsorption capacity and once this capacity is reached, they must be regeneratedor replaced. Therefore, to provide a continuous supply of clean, dry compressed air, adsorbent dryers utilise two chambers of desiccant material and at any one time, whilst one chamber is on-line, drying the incoming compressed air, the other is either off-line, being regenerated or is re-pressurised, ready to come on-line. All desiccant dryers remove water in this manner.
