Introduction to Compressed Air Processing
Compressed air is crucial in industrial manufacturing, requiring it to be dry, oil-free, and clean to prevent costly production disruptions. The air, when compressed, contains pollutants and moisture that can condense and cause operational issues.

Functionality of Boreas Variopulse
The Boreas Variopulse processes compressed air by pre-cooling it in an air/air heat exchanger, followed by further cooling in a refrigerant/air heat exchanger. This process removes moisture as condensate, which is automatically drained. The Variopulse controller optimizes the system's performance based on demand, reducing energy consumption significantly.

Energy Efficiency and Control Systems
The Boreas Variopulse uses either a frequency converter or suction pressure control to manage energy use. This results in energy savings of up to 90% at zero load. The system's energy costs quickly surpass the initial investment costs due to its efficiency.

Key Features and Advantages

• Standard Variopulse controller with a multifunction display.
• Constant pressure dewpoint without peaks.
• Load-dependent energy consumption reduction.
• Aluminium heat exchanger and level-controlled condensate drain.
• CAN-BUS interface for remote monitoring.
• Environmentally friendly refrigerant R-134a.
