Nano TMC 0055 N Thermal Mass Cycling Refrigerated Dryer

Unlike direct expansion dryers which run continuously, when the TMC’s glycol thermal mass reaches a set temperature, the compressor stops or cycles off but continues to provide clean and dry compressed air to your process. The glycol thermal mass stores the cold energy and keeps the dew point at the desired temperature. The temperature of the thermal mass begins to rise, the refrigerant compressor cycles on.  Dryer demand is a function of both required air fl ow and ambient conditions. Unless both of these variables are at their maximums at the same time, there are energy savings to be had. The TMC takes advantage of this savings opportunity by significantly reducing power consumption to match actual demand.

Smart Investments, Big Savings

In most applications, the air flow varies significantly throughout the day reaching peak demand only for a very short time. Often times, demand can be close to zero overnight or during breaks. The TMC thermal mass cycling refrigerated dryer matches its power consumption to the air flow demand providing optimal energy savings. (example shown below) *at $0.08 per kWh for a plant running 24/7/365, the TMC dryer saves the company nearly $500 in electrical costs annually. A similarly installed 500 scfm TMC dryer would save over $1,000 annually.
