Product catalog summary
Overview: The SECOTEC TE, TF, and TG Series are energy-efficient refrigeration dryers designed for compact and maintenance-friendly operation. They support flow rates from 10.5 to 98 m³/min and operate at pressures between 3 to 16 bar.
Energy Efficiency: These dryers consume less than 100 W of electrical power per m³/min of compressed air, utilizing energy-saving control systems. The SECOPACK LS heat exchanger system stabilizes pressure dew points and reduces energy consumption by storing surplus cooling performance.
Design and Operation: Featuring a compact design with optimized flow paths, these dryers minimize pressure losses. The SIGMA CONTROL SMART controller offers intuitive operation with a color display and language-neutral menu navigation for efficient monitoring and analysis.
Reliability and Maintenance: Designed for reliable performance in ambient temperatures up to 50°C, the dryers include a large condensate separator and an electronic ECO-DRAIN for effective condensate removal. High-quality materials like aluminum and stainless steel ensure long-term reliability.
Cost Efficiency: The SECOTEC series offers low life-cycle costs due to its low-maintenance design, energy-efficient components, and demand-dependent energy-saving control. The TF 340 model can achieve up to 50% life-cycle cost savings compared to conventional dryers.
Advanced Features: Equipped with a Modbus TCP communications module, these dryers integrate easily with master controllers like the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0, allowing for comprehensive monitoring and preventative maintenance.
Environmental Considerations: The use of the climate-friendly refrigerant R-513A ensures future-proof operation and compliance with environmental standards.
Installation and Accessibility: Offering flexible installation options, including back-to-back and wall-side installations, the dryers feature easily accessible components for quick maintenance.
SECOTEC TG Series Overview: Designed for large-scale industrial applications, the SECOTEC TG series offers energy-saving capabilities and accommodates flow rates up to 98 m³/min. Available with air or water-cooling options, they ensure stable pressure dew point performance under tough conditions with minimal life-cycle costs.
Key Features: Innovative exhaust air control with a frequency-controlled radial fan, minimal service costs, reduced operator responsibilities, and a thermal mass concept with latent heat thermal mass and multiple compressors for efficient load management.
Performance and Efficiency: The SECOTEC thermal mass control adjusts power consumption based on load, saving up to 60% of energy costs compared to conventional systems. It maintains pressure dew points up to +3°C during full load operation with minimal fluctuation during partial load.
Technical Specifications: Models range from 11.5 to 98 m³/min in flow rates, with power consumption varying by model and load. Suitable for ambient temperatures from +3 to +50°C and compressed air inlet temperatures up to +60°C. Uses R-513A refrigerant with a global warming potential of 631.
Additional Features: Equipped with SIGMA CONTROL SMART for easy operation and monitoring, a powder-coated enclosure with removable panels for easy maintenance, and Modbus TCP communications module for integration into control systems.
Conclusion: The SECOTEC TG series refrigeration dryers offer advanced features for energy efficiency, reliability, and ease of maintenance, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.

SECOTEC thermal mass control Innovative energy-saving control with Storage Plus For its Storage Plus energy-saving control, KAESER uses a special phase change material that absorbs latent heat. In contrast to other thermal mass storage systems available on the market, the heat energy does not go through a temperature change; rather, it goes through a phase change. Only when the entire medium has undergone this phase change - meaning that the storage is now full does the temperature begin to rise. When the latent heat is discharged, the phase change reoccurs in the opposite direction, with the...

The high-efficiency module for maximum energy savings Second generation SECOTEC refrigeration dryers are equipped with the innovative SECOPACK LS heat exchanger system. Its latent heat thermal mass is composed of a phase change material. Compressed air warms the material up to its melting point (thermal mass discharge), absorbing melt heat during the process. This is significantly more than the amount of heat that it can absorb based on its normal specific heat capacity (without the phase change properties), so the latent heat thermal mass in SECOTEC dryers has a dramatically higher thermal density...
