Description
Quality Comes in All Shapes and Sizes — But Just One Color.
The QED is a cycling refrigerated dryer that uses Smart RH technology to save energy. Incoming compressed air is maintained at a target 30% relative humidity, while the dryer automatically adjusts based on the temperature conditions. By using this technology, the QED is automatically protected against freezing conditions by drying air to a non-corrosive RH level.
Compressed air has been considered the fourth utility and is used in almost all industrial applications. In order for compressed air to be an effective utility, it must be free of contaminants. Contaminants include solids, liquids, and gases. Untreated compressed air presents the risk of either damaging the air system or the end-use product. The most basic and potentially most harmful of these is moisture. The relative humidity (RH%) affects the moisture content contained in your compressed air. The most effective method of moisture control is by maintaining a constant RH%. The new Quincy ECO DRI cycling refrigerated air dryer maintains a 30% RH in all site conditions to ensure dry compressed air is achieved.

Superior Efficiency and Protection
The Quincy ECO DRI uses the latest in cycling refrigerated technology, providing the best energy savings in its class. The Smart RH Technology not only ensures the air is dried to a non-corrosive RH level, but it also automatically protects against freezing conditions.
The cycling sensors automatically revert the mode of operation to non-cycling, when freezing conditions are present. On models 650 CFM and above, the integrated flow switch turns off the dryer when no flow is detected. No other dryer offers this feature.
Smart RH Thermal Mass
Conventional cycling dryers must cool a large glycol bath down to a fixed +39°F temperature. At normal conditions, this would yield a 12% RH when all that is required to protect the system from corrosion is 50% RH. The chart below shows that from 50% RH down to 12% RH is a relatively flat curve, with no additional benefit.
Quincy’s ECO DRI cycling dryers maintain a target 30% RH, automatically adjusting based on the temperature conditions. This technology allows for maximum energy savings by operating only as much as needed.
Thermal Core 10-Year Warranty
Quincy’s three-stage thermal core heat exchanger design, materials, and construction ensure maximum reliability and efficiency. The thermal core heat exchanger combines the 1st stage air to air, the 2nd stage refrigerant to air evaporator, and the 3rd
stage integral moisture separator with zero-loss drain. Quincy’s heat exchangers are engineered with quality and reliability in mind. Because of this, Quincy confidently offers an industry best 10-year heat exchanger warranty, bringing you the quality you demand and the reliability you trust from Quincy Compressor.
Drain Systems
All Quincy ECO DRI systems are equipped with high-efficiency, environmentally-friendly zero-loss electronic drains. Energy efficient drains for energy efficient dryers.
