At Industrial Link Services, we recognize the criticality of maintaining clean and dry air lines to guarantee the optimal performance and durability of your equipment. To address this need, we proudly offer a comprehensive range of refrigerated compressed air dryer systems sourced from top manufacturers including ELGi, Sullair, and Ingersoll Rand. These high-quality air dryers are specifically designed to efficiently eliminate moisture and contaminants from the compressed air while effectively safeguarding against corrosion and equipment damage. Additionally, they minimize maintenance requirements, ensuring your systems run smoothly.
To complement our air dryer solutions, we also provide essential components such as the Atlas Copco compressor filter kit and other air compressor filter options. These filters play a crucial role in maintaining the purity of compressed air by removing particulates and contaminants, further enhancing the efficiency and longevity of your equipment.

The refrigerated air dryer operates through a two-stage process, during which each stage plays a vital role in achieving optimal air drying results.
Stage 1: Air-to-Air Heat Exchanger
At the initial stage, the compressed air enters the air dryer and flows through an air-to-air heat exchanger. This heat exchanger serves the purpose of pre-cooling the incoming air, effectively reducing its temperature. By pre-cooling the air, the heat exchanger facilitates the subsequent stages of the drying process and enhances the overall efficiency of the refrigerated air dryer.
Stage 2: Air-to-Refrigerant Heat Exchanger
The compressed air then moves into the second stage of the process by passing through an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. In this stage, the compressed air’s dew point is significantly reduced, typically reaching temperatures as low as 3°C / 37°F. The reduction in temperature causes the water vapor present in the air to condense into liquid form. This liquid is subsequently trapped and removed from the system. The air exiting the refrigerated air dryer becomes significantly drier, eliminating the condensed water.
To further prevent the formation of condensate in downstream piping and ensure a consistently dry air stream, the now dry air undergoes a final step. It is directed back to the air-to-air heat exchanger, where it is warmed up. This process of warming the dry air reduces its relative humidity, mitigates the chances of condensate formation in the subsequent piping, and maintains the desired dryness of the compressed air.
