Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the PHD Series of Externally Heated Desiccant Compressed Air Dryers, ranging from 300 to 3,200 SCFM, manufactured by SPX FLOW. These dryers are designed to reduce purge air energy costs and deliver ISO 8573.1 Air Quality.
Company Background: SPX FLOW, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a global supplier of engineered flow components and systems, with operations in over 35 countries and sales in over 150 countries.
Key Features:
  • Energy Efficiency: The PHD Series uses Ambient Air Amplification (A3) Purge TechnologyTM to reduce purge air consumption, offering dew point performance from 300 to 3,200 SCFM.
  • Dew Point Performance: The dryers provide pressure dew points from -4°F to -40°F, suitable for various seasonal applications.
  • Jet Injection Option: This option allows for precise management of drying and regeneration cycles, reducing purge air usage to 6% or less.
Technical Specifications:
  • Air Quality Class: The dryers meet ISO 8573-1 standards, delivering Class 2 (-40°F) and Class 3 (-4°F) dew points.
  • Energy Management: The EMS control system ensures energy savings and precise control of the A3 Purge TechnologyTM.
  • Construction: Features include soft-seated check valves, low-watt density heaters, and NEMA 4 construction for durability.
Performance and Savings:
  • Cost Comparison: The PHD Series offers significant savings in purge air operating costs compared to heatless designs, with potential savings of up to 15%.
  • Annual Savings: The optional EMS with Jet Injection can provide annual savings of $3,740, with a payback period of 8.2 months.
Engineering Data: The document includes detailed specifications for models ranging from PHD-300 to PHD-3200, including inlet flow, heater output, dimensions, and weight.
Global Presence: SPX FLOW has locations in EMEA, APAC, USA, and Canada, providing global support and service.

PHD Series - Externally Heated Industrial Air Dryers-3

STANDARD DESIGN Moist, filtered compressed air enters the pressurized on-line desiccant-filled drying Tower 1 through valve (A). Up-flow drying enables the desiccant to strip the air stream of moisture. Clean, dry compressed air exits through valve (E) to feed the air system. Tower 2 (when in regeneration mode) closes valve (B), then depressurizes to atmosphere through muffler (C). Valves (D & G) open and the heater turns on. A portion of dry compressed air (purge air) is diverted before exiting (E) and passes through the heater. Hot dry purge air desorbs the moisture from the desiccant as it...
