Aircel DHT High Inlet Temperature Refrigerated Air Dryer, 50 to 125 SCFM
Most refrigerated dryers want air delivered to them at around 100 F, which is why an air-cooled reciprocating compressor normally needs an aftercooler in front of one. The Aircel DHT is built for the opposite case: it takes air straight off the compressor at up to 180 F and still holds a 50 F pressure dew point, so a shop running a piston compressor without an aftercooler can dry its air with one box instead of two.

When a high inlet temperature dryer is the right answer
Air-cooled reciprocating compressors typically do not incorporate an aftercooler, so discharge air arrives far hotter than a standard refrigerated dryer can handle. Feeding a standard dryer that air either floods it or pushes the dew point up until the dryer is doing nothing useful. The DHT is designed around that inlet condition, which removes the separate aftercooler, its fan motor, its wiring and the floor space it occupies from the installation.
Installation notes
Check the electrical supply against the model you are ordering: the DHT-50, DHT-75 and DHT-100 are 115V single phase, while the DHT-125 is 208-230V single phase. Pipe a filter and a drain downstream, leave clearance for condenser airflow and service access, and keep ambient below 100 F. A three-valve bypass stand lets you isolate the dryer for service without shutting the plant down.
Typical applications
Air-cooled reciprocating compressor packages without an aftercooler, body shops and paint lines, woodworking and cabinet shops, fleet maintenance bays, light manufacturing and any compressed air system where hot, wet air reaches the dryer inlet.
The Aircel DHT high inlet temperature refrigerated air dryer is available from AirComParts in 50, 75, 100 and 125 SCFM sizes, rated for 180 F inlet air with a 50 F dew point on R-134a refrigerant.
