Built to accept inlet temperatures as high as \u003cstrong\u003e200°F (93°C)\u003c\/strong\u003e directly off a piston compressor discharge, the CRHA15A1 eliminates the need for a separate aftercooler—reducing footprint, installation time, and total installed cost while delivering reliably dry air to your pneumatic tools, paint guns, plasma cutters, and instrument lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEngineered for Hot, Humid Compressor Discharge\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReciprocating compressors discharge air at temperatures significantly higher than rotary screw machines—often 160°F to 200°F under load. Standard refrigerated dryers stall, freeze the evaporator, or run out of capacity when fed air this hot, forcing shops to install a pre-cooler, double up dryer capacity, or accept wet air downstream. The Champion CRH Series solves the problem with a heat exchanger and refrigerant circuit deliberately sized for hot, humid inlet conditions. The CRHA15A1 maintains a stable \u003cstrong\u003e+50°F pressure dew point\u003c\/strong\u003e at full rated load—even when the ambient room is warm and the compressor has been running hard for hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eR513A Refrigerant — A Lower-GWP, Future-Proof Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CRHA15A1 ships factory-charged with \u003cstrong\u003eR513A\u003c\/strong\u003e, an HFO-blend refrigerant with a global warming potential roughly half that of legacy R134a. As the U.S. EPA, the AIM Act, and provincial regulators across Canada continue phasing down high-GWP refrigerants, equipment built around R513A is positioned to comply with current and upcoming F-Gas and SNAP requirements without service interruption. For facilities tracking sustainability targets, this is a meaningful environmental and procurement credit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200°F Maximum Inlet Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e — Connects directly to a reciprocating compressor discharge with no aftercooler required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 SCFM Rated Flow @ 100 PSIG \/ 100°F Inlet\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sized for compressors in the 3–5 HP class.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR513A Refrigerant\u003c\/strong\u003e — Low-GWP, future-proof against tightening refrigerant regulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Moisture Separator and Zero-Loss Drain\u003c\/strong\u003e — Discharges condensate without wasting compressed air.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug-and-Play 115V \/ 60Hz Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Standard 15A outlet; no electrician required for hookup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop-Mounted Fan\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cool air pulled from above lets the dryer sit flush against a wall, ideal for crowded shops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicroprocessor Controller with Dew Point Indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e — At-a-glance monitoring of dryer performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUL and CSA Certified\u003c\/strong\u003e — Meets North American electrical safety standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-Year Limited Factory Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — Backed by Champion Pneumatic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufactured in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e — Domestic build with US-based service and parts support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel (CCN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCRHA15A1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Flow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 SCFM @ 100 PSIG, 100°F inlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Inlet Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200°F (93°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Dew Point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+50°F at full rated load\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR513A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115V \/ 1 Phase \/ 60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.48 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet\/Outlet Connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/4\" MNPT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondensate Drain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZero-loss electronic drain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (H × W × D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.6\" × 14.4\" × 24.0\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e103 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL, CSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-Year Limited\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications for the CRHA15A1\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 15 SCFM rating matches steady-state demand for compressors in the 3 to 5 horsepower range—common sizes for auto body shops, automotive service bays, dental offices, woodworking shops, light fabrication, sandblasting cabinets, and small CNC operations. If you run pneumatic sanders, plasma cutters, HVLP paint guns, or air-actuated valves, removing moisture upstream prevents fisheye in paint finishes, rust on tools, ice in winter air lines, and erratic behavior in pneumatic logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CRHA15A1 ships fully charged, factory-tested, and pre-wired for a standard 115V outlet. Mount the dryer downstream of your air receiver and ahead of your filtration train, allowing 12 inches of clearance above the unit for the top-mounted fan. Plumb the inlet and outlet to the 3\/4\" MNPT ports, route the drain to a sump or oil\/water separator, and plug it in. Most installations are completed in under an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePair With Champion CFL Series Filters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best dryer performance and longest service life, install a Champion CFL Grade C particulate filter immediately before the dryer to protect the heat exchanger from oil and debris, and a CFL Grade E coalescing filter immediately downstream to deliver ISO 8573-1 quality air to your point of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Air Compressor Store\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir Compressor Store is an authorized Champion Pneumatic distributor with decades of compressed-air expertise.

The CRH Series is engineered for inlet temperatures up to 200°F—well above the 160–180°F typical of a hard-working reciprocating compressor. A standard refrigerated dryer would require an aftercooler ahead of it; the CRHA15A1 does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat dew point does this dryer achieve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproximately +50°F pressure dew point at full rated load. That's sufficient for general industrial applications and indoor air lines. If you need below-freezing dew points (e.g. instrument air or outdoor service), a desiccant dryer is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a separate filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Pair the CRHA15A1 with a Champion CFL Series particulate filter upstream and a coalescing filter downstream for best performance and longest dryer life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54217860251923,"sku":"CRHA15A1","price":1585.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/3141\/8387\/files\/CA-CRH_3rd_11-25_Page_1_Image_0003.png?v=1780500734","url":"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-crha15a1-refrigerated-air-dryer-15-scfm","provider":"Warthog Air Compressor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
