PCM PLUS SERIES

Phase change type air dryer, it only runs when it's needed, so the cost of electricity is 1/10

Energy saving air dryer
Another innovation in PCM Series!
PCM PLUS provides high energy efficiency while handling hot inlet air. This upgraded, high temperature all-in-one model includes both pre and after filters making it much easier to install, maintain and repair.

Phase change air dryer of differentiated technology
  • PCM (Phase Change Material) application (Patent Application)
  • Controls refrigeration compressor on/off depending on compressed air load
Unique product design
High temperature all-in-one products that reduce energy
  • Application of stainless steel braze plate heat exchangers with PCM
  • Save up to 99 % on energy at lower energy costs
  • Payback on upfront investment in the shortest amount of time
Great Energy Efficiency
Capable of handling inlet air up to 60℃
  • Provides reliable dew point and dehumidification performance even in hot working conditions
Capable of handling inlet air up to 60℃
Upgrade basic performance by incorporating pre and after filter
  • Pre-filter (3 ㎛) – Removal of impurities and condensate
  • After-filter (0.01 ㎛) – High efficiency oil removal, coalescing function
  • Simple installation and maintenance of products
Upgrade basic performance by incorporating pre and after filter
No Loss Drain
  • Power outage capacity sensor
  • zero air loss when draining condensate
  • Automatically switch to timer mode if operational error occurs
No Loss Drain

Phase change in PCM dryer

  • When a refrigeration compressor and condenser fan are running, the cold refrigerant in the chiller (evaporator) cools the liquid Phase Change Material(PCM) and it gradually freezes.
  • When a PCM is sufficiently cooled and frozen, the refrigeration compressor and condenser fan stop.
  • The compressed air is continuously cooled by the PCM while the refrigeration compressor is inactive. No power is consumed during this period.
  • The PCM gradually melts as it adsorbs heat from the compressed air, and when fully melted, the refrigeration compressor and condenser fan resume to cool down the PCM.

How it works.

  • Compressed air saturated with water vapour enters the stainless steel brazed air-to-air heat exchanger, is pre-cooled by the outgoing chilled air, and then directed to the stainless steel brazed plate PCM-to-air heat exchanger (evaporator) where it is further cooled by the Phase Change Material (PCM).
  • As the air is cooled, water vapour condenses into liquid droplets which are then removed by high efficiency external moisture separator with No Loss Drain.
  • Then aerosol and oil mist condensed from oil vapour are removed by high efficiency external oil filter with a No Loss Drain.
  • Chilled air returns through air-to-air heat exchanger (re-heater) where it is reaheated before exiting the dryer. This is to prevent external sweating of piping when clean and dry compressed air travels to point of use.
