Thermal Transfer UPA Series Air-Cooled Aftercooler, 35 to 100 SCFM, Single-Phase
The UPA is Thermal Transfer's compact packaged aftercooler: an aluminum fin and copper tube coil, a steel cabinet and a small single-phase fan, sized for the shop compressor rather than the plant room. Cooling discharge air condenses out most of the moisture before it reaches the receiver, so the water ends up in a drain instead of in a spray gun or an air tool.

How the SCFM rating is stated
Nominal capacity is based on 250 F compressed air with a 15 degree approach over ambient. The maximum figures come from the factory datasheet. Size on your real inlet temperature and ambient conditions, because approach temperature is what the cooler actually sells you.
Installation
Put a strainer upstream and a separator with a trap and drain on the outlet, since the cooler's job is to drop water out of the air and something downstream has to get rid of it. Use flexible connectors so compressor pulsation and thermal growth are not carried into the manifolds, leave at least 12 in. of clearance in front of the fan, avoid corrosive atmospheres, and interlock the unit so it runs whenever the compressor runs. Size the piping on airflow and allowable pressure drop rather than on the unit's connection size.
Typical applications
Small reciprocating and rotary screw compressor packages in shops, labs, dental and medical rooms, fleet bays and light manufacturing, and as a pre-cooler ahead of a refrigerated dryer to take the heat load off it.
The Thermal Transfer UPA series air-cooled aftercooler is stocked by AirComParts in 35, 50 and 100 SCFM sizes with an aluminum fin and copper tube core, a 250 PSI rating and a 1/12 HP 115/230V single-phase fan motor.
