A heatless dryer does it with expanded compressed air, which is the simplest approach and the most expensive air in your plant. A heated purge dryer heats that compressed purge air so it needs less of it. A \u003cstrong\u003eheated blower purge dryer stops using compressed air for the heavy lifting altogether\u003c\/strong\u003e: a blower pulls in ambient air, a heater raises it to regeneration temperature, and that free air strips the bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XCHBA still uses a small amount of dry compressed air for the cooldown step at the end of regeneration, and Champion makes \u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Air Cooldown a standard feature\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than an option, because cooling the bed before it comes back online is what keeps the dew point spike out of your header at changeover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe economics are simple. You pay more up front, you add a blower and a heater to maintain, and you stop venting production air around the clock. At 600 SCFM and above, running multiple shifts, that trade is usually decisive. Send us your flow, pressure, run hours and electricity rate and we will put a heatless, heated purge and blower purge machine side by side on your actual numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Sets the XCHBA Apart\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmbient air regeneration\u003c\/strong\u003e: a dedicated blower supplies the regeneration air, so compressed air is not consumed to dry the bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressed Air Cooldown standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: the bed is cooled before it returns to service, protecting the dew point at tower changeover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7 inch color touchscreen\u003c\/strong\u003e: full cycle status, dew point, alarms and service history on one screen instead of a two-line display and a code chart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNEMA 4 electrical enclosures standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: rated for indoor or outdoor installation with no enclosure upgrade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrefilter and afterfilter mounted\u003c\/strong\u003e: the desiccant is protected from oil carryover and your downstream air from desiccant fines, out of the crate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-size inlet and outlet connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: up to 6 inch NPTF at 1200 SCFM, so the dryer is not the restriction in your header.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy Management System option\u003c\/strong\u003e: dew point demand control that extends the drying cycle when the plant runs light, cutting blower and heater energy along with it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChampion Pneumatic quality\u003c\/strong\u003e: a Gardner Denver brand with more than a century of compressed-air engineering behind it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing Your Configuration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard -40°F\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed-cycle blower purge regeneration with the 7 inch color touchscreen controller, NEMA 4 enclosures, compressed air cooldown, and the mounted prefilter and afterfilter package.

Change the elements on schedule, keep the drain working, verify the tower changeover is completing, and the bed will last. Champion supports the XCHBA with replacement elements, valve kits, blower and heater parts and bulk desiccant charges; we stock and quote all of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Air Compressor Store\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir Compressor Store is an authorized Champion Pneumatic distributor.

Champion does not publish a -100°F option for the XCHBA Series in the current price list. If you need a Class 1 dew point, ask us and we will quote the platform that provides it rather than guess at a configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeatless, heated purge or heated blower purge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeatless is the simplest and cheapest to buy and consumes the most compressed air. Heated purge adds a heater so the dryer regenerates on much less compressed air. Blower purge, like this XCHBA, uses ambient air moved by a blower for the regeneration itself, so compressed air consumption drops to the cooldown step alone. Capital cost and mechanical complexity rise in that same order. The crossover depends on your flow, run hours and what a kilowatt-hour costs you, so send us those three numbers and we will run it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the XCHBA compare with the XCHP heated purge dryer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth are X-Series twin tower heated dryers with mounted filtration, NEMA 4 enclosures and 150 psig ratings. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-xchp-series-heated-purge-desiccant-air-dryer\"\u003eXCHP Series\u003c\/a\u003e heats compressed purge air and costs less to buy. The XCHBA adds a blower so ambient air does the work, costs more up front, gives back more compressed air, and carries the 7 inch color touchscreen as standard. At the top of the range the difference in purge air can justify the step up in a single year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it still use any compressed air?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, a small amount for the cooldown step, which is standard on this series. The regeneration heating itself runs on ambient air from the blower, which is where the savings come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I still need to buy filters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The prefilter and afterfilter are included and factory mounted on every configuration listed here. What you should not skip is a properly drained wet receiver upstream and diligent separator maintenance on an oil-flooded rotary screw. Oil is what kills desiccant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the maximum working pressure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e150 psig.

Because both a blower and a heater are involved, confirm the full-load amps with us before your electrician sizes the feeder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I add the Energy Management System?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a blower purge machine the EMS saves electricity rather than compressed air, by shortening how often the blower and heater have to run when the dryer is lightly loaded.
