Refrigerated dryer · Purestream ACT

Purestream ACT refrigerated air dryer

Continuous-cycle refrigerated dryer built around the ALU-DRY aluminium heat exchanger: a single vertical module combines the air/air exchanger (it pre-cools the incoming air to cut the required cooling power, then reheats the outgoing air to prevent condensation on downstream piping), the counter-flow air/refrigerant exchanger and a high-efficiency demister-type condensate separator. Vertical arrangement — condensate flows to the Bekomat zero-loss electronic drain; low pressure drop. Nominal 3 °C pressure dew point. 20 to 5000 SCFM, NPT (≤500 SCFM) or 150# flange (≥600 SCFM) connection.

From $2,244 CAD, before taxes. Installation and shipping extra. The quote prevails.

Recommended in-line filters

When checked, they are added to the quote with each dryer at the right size (sized per model). Adjust or remove on the quote page. Above 1500 SCFM: on request.

* “Oil-free” air: residual oil ≤ 0.003 mg/m³ (oil vapour) — ISO 8573-1 oil class 1, per the AC carbon filter specification.

  5. ACCarbon
  6. Dry, clean air
  • Water separator — at the compressor — removes bulk liquid water right at the compressor outlet. A separate component from the dryer, required upstream (often already in place). View water separators →
  • X1 pre-filter — before the dryer — stops liquid water, dust and oil aerosols. Protects the dryer’s heat exchanger.
  • XA after-filter — after the dryer — captures fine oil droplets (0.01 µm) for very clean outlet air.
  • AC carbon filter — after (optional) — removes oil vapours and odours: “oil-free” air. Add when needed — rarely required.
