WKv Series Low Energy Heat of Compression Compressed Air Dryers (Full Stream)

Brand: Zander

Parker Zander WKv series compressed air dryers are fully automatic dryers which utilize full flow regeneration principles to dry compressed air down to a pressure dew point of -20 °C.

WKv series dryers are so called heat of compression dryers (HOC), in contrast to conventional adsorption dryers, HOC dryers make use of excess heat from oil-free compressors to regenerate the desiccant beds thereby eliminating the requirement for an installed heater. 

HOC dryers are therefore a cost and energy efficient solution.

WKv series come with a ZDMC controller as standard that offers full process visualization and advanced connectivity.

WKv series compressed air dryers are available for volume flows up to 14500 m³/h with a standard maximum operating pressure up to 10 barg. 

Higher flow rates, operating pressures or temperature ratings are available on request.
Features
  • Volume flows up to 14500 m³/h @ 7 bar g
  • Maximum operating pressure 10 bar g - higher pressures on request
  • Pressure dew point: -10 to -50°C - lower dew points available on request
  • Operation with up to 3 compressors
  • Operation with low flows (30%)
  • Very low operating costs by using the compressor heat - only cost is power for the control unit
  • Very quiet operation - no purge / expansion, no blower or vacuum pump
  • Low service costs - no heater, no blower, no load changes
Many additional options are available to suit specific customer requirements.
