This is our Eaton Dry Air Model 246 Dry Air. This unit will dry up to 246 CFM very effeciently with very dry air.  This dryer is used in body shops, machine shops, all businesses that need dry air.  Water is a bad part of a compressor without a dryer.  It will ruin your air tools and air motors on machines or anything that needs dry air.  We have many customers that ask us “do you have a compressor with water-free air?”  The only way to achieve this is to cool your air down to dew point.  For example, humidity is in the air and you cannot see it.  It is as a gas form.  The only way to remove this water from the air is to cool the air down to dew point.  Everybody knows when a low front comes through that it rains.  The reason for this is the moisture that is in a gas form is cooled down and this is how you get rain.  Another example is your air conditioner in the summer has water dripping off of the condenser.  This is the same principle as our air dryer.  It is cooling the air through a heat exchanger by circulating refrigerant.  After the water is evaporated out of the air, it is collected in an accumulator or water trap.  This water trap has a built-in auto drain which drains the accumulated water from the heat exchanger.  After your air goes through this process, it gets all of the water out of your air system. 

This refrigerated air dryer system is very low maintenance.  You just plug it into 220V, 3 Phase and connect your air lines from the compressor to the IN marked “air port” and connect your shop air to the OUT marked “air port”.  On the IN marked “air port”, I do recommend a coalescer filter system.  This will remove all particulate from your air system down to 1 micron.  A coalescer filter will also remove any oil that the compressor might use and keep it from getting into your air dryer.  An air compressor oil-type will use 1-5 parts per million in oil carry over.  It is just like your car motor, it will use “some” oil.  The oil that is uses gets into your air lines in a millionth amount, but over a period of time, can plug your dryer up.  This filter system will stop that from happening.  

We use high quality refrigeration units in our dryers and high quality heat exchangers for maximum durability in industrial applications.  This dryer also cycles the fan motor on and off as the air temperature goes up and down. It is very energy efficient.  This dryer also has a temperature gauge on the outlet air line that tells the air temperature.  This dryer has a lighted ON/OFF switch that you can turn your dryer on and off manually at the beginning or end of the day.  This dryer has a very high quality auto drain for draining your air dryer.  It also has a ball valve to turn the air off to the auto drain when maintenancing it and you do not have to shut your shop down when doing so.  You can drain it manually when doing this.  This dryer has an easy-access panel on the right side of it as you are facing the front of the dryer. This dryer has NO plastic—it is all HEAVY gauge material.  This dryer has a 1 1/2” inlet port and a 1 1/2” outlet port.   

You do not need any intercoolers with this dryer.  It will handle your air system with great efficiency and QUIET operation. 

Here at Eaton Compressor & Fabrication we cover our air dryers 100%.  We have been covering our warranties for 31 years and have had many, many SATISFIED customers that can depend on us 100%.  This dryer is covered by a 5-Year Warranty on the heat exchanger and a 2-Year Warranty on the rest of the dryer unit and includes an Owner’s/Operator’s Manual.  This warranty is NOT a PRO-RATED warranty!  A pro-rated warranty means the older and longer the warranty period is, the more you, as the customer, will pay out of YOUR pocket to get it fixed which means the liability is on the customer.   At Eaton Compressor, our Eaton Dry Air Dryers are VERY HIGH quality and backed by us.  With most of the competition when you have a problem, you have to go to the dealer and then they go to the manufacturer which takes lots of time and causes longer downtime.  With Eaton Compressor, we can help you with an air technician to fix any problem you would have very quickly.
