Kaeser’s expanded Secotec refrigerated dryer line – the new TF series, with four models from 550-1130 scfm – integrates the Secopack LS latent heat thermal storage system that delivers consistent dew point control and energy efficiency under varying load conditions. Secopack LS contains a phase-changing material (PCM) that stores thermal energy as it cycles from a solid to a liquid state, reportedly enhancing energy efficiency. The PCM module is 98% denser than conventional storage media, according to the company. This, combined with topside air exhaust, creates a smaller overall footprint for the dryer.
TG dryers also feature a variable speed radial fan design that improves cooling and enables ducting and heat recovery. A dedicated fan in the electrical cabinet and optional water-cooling allow operation in high heat environments without loss of drying capacity.
The Sigma Control Smart microprocessor controls the thermal storage process and provides a remote on/off control capability and optional Ethernet interface so TF units can be easily integrated into plant operations and IIoT environments.
The TF dryer completes the transition to the advanced R-513A refrigerant in the Secotec line.
