Energy-Saving Refrigeration Dryers SECOTEC® TA to TD Series

Product catalog summary
Overview
The SECOTEC TA to TD series by KAESER are energy-efficient refrigeration dryers designed for industrial applications. They provide stable pressure dew points and significant energy savings, suitable for flow rates from 0.60 to 8.25 m³/min and pressures from 3 to 16 bar.
Energy Efficiency
These dryers incorporate a thermal mass control system that stores excess cooling capacity, enabling drying without power consumption during partial load operations, leading to substantial energy savings, particularly during downtime.
Maintenance and Durability
The dryers are low-maintenance with easy access to service components like the condenser. They are designed to operate efficiently in ambient temperatures up to +43 °C, ensuring long-term reliability.
Cost Savings
The SECOTEC series reduces life-cycle costs through its low-maintenance design, energy-efficient components, and demand-dependent thermal mass control. The TD 76 model can save up to 26% of total life-cycle costs compared to conventional dryers.
Design and Components
The dryers do not require a prefilter, reducing investment and maintenance costs. They feature low differential pressure and a high-capacity thermal mass for efficient operation. The use of R-513A refrigerant ensures future-proofing and environmental compliance.
Performance and Reliability
SECOTEC dryers maintain stable pressure dew points down to +3°C, even during partial load operations. The design includes corrosion-free stainless steel condensate separators and ECO-DRAIN electronic condensate drains for reliable operation.
Technical Specifications
The document details the refrigeration circuit, including components like the refrigerant compressor, condenser, and heat exchanger system with SECOTEC solid thermal mass. It uses R-513A refrigerant and includes a control system for managing thermal mass and monitoring dew point trends.
Condensate Drainage
Features the ECO-DRAIN 30 electronic condensate drain with a ball valve on the condensate inlet line and insulation for cold surfaces.
Equipment Specifications
The enclosure is powder-coated with removable side panels for service access. Connections include smooth-bore copper compressed air piping and brass connections with rotation lock.
Electrical Equipment
Complies with EN 60204-1 standards for machinery safety, with an IP 54 protection rating for the control cabinet.
Correction Factors
Provides correction factors for flow rate calculations under different operating conditions, including gauge working pressure, compressed air inlet temperature, and ambient temperature.
Options and Accessories
Lists optional features such as floating contacts, adjustable machine feet, autotransformers, special colors, and silicone-free versions.

Service-friendly condenser The condenser is arranged on the front side of the unit, where it is exposed to the air stream without an upstream mesh barrier. Any dirt accumulation on this component can therefore be easily detected and effectively removed, ensuring energy efficiency and pressure dew point stability over the long-term. Excellent accessibility The SECOTEC refrigeration dryer's enclosure covers are quick and easy to remove, enabling straightforward service access. Taken together, these advantages significantly reduce servicing requirement and therefore costs.
