Moisture is a natural by-product of compressing air. The main purpose of a dryer is to eliminate moisture from your compressed air. This has the obvious benefit of avoiding product contamination, spoilage, and waste. However, it also prevents equipment degradation, as moisture can cause corrosion and rusting, decreasing the longevity of your equipment. This accelerated degradation can lead to dangerous and costly equipment breakdowns and issues. Therefore, having a dryer in place can eliminate wastage costs and repair, maintenance, and replacement costs.
All of Ingersoll Rand’s reciprocating units, offer easy maintenance, and have been designed with serviceability in mind. This helps increase your uptime by limiting the amount of time service intervals take. Their durable components also decrease the frequency of required maintenance, again helping to cut your costs!
Another natural by-product of compressing air is heat, but did you know that 90% of the wasted heat generated by your compressed air system can actually be used? One way is with heat-of-compression dryers, which are widely considered the most energy-efficient in the market. This is due to their ability to use heat from the compression process to dry air. Ingersoll Rand’s solutions surpass expectations with remarkable heat recovery capabilities. This allows you to offset virtually all electricity costs that would be spent on operating a compressed air dryer and the energy required for it to dry your air.
