High Temperature Regenerative Air Dryer
The Refrigerated Dryer Alternative
For hot, humid compressed air
Optimize performance in demanding mobile environments with a mobile regenerative air dryer built for high-temperature conditions. This all-in-one regenerative air dryer with an aftercooler removes excess heat and moisture to deliver clean, dry air wherever you work. Keep moisture under control to ensure consistent spray patterns and to protect your tools and equipment. If you need a high temperature regenerative air dryer for spray foam rigs, paint refinishing, beverage canning, or other hot, humid applications, this system is built for it.
How A High Temp Regenerative Dryer Works
Lowers temperature of hot air
The aftercooler lowers the temperature of the compressed air, with the ability to cool it to 5-20°F above ambient air temperature.
Bonus: it has a pressure drop of <1 PSI.
Removes particulates, bulk water, & oils
The pre-filtration includes the water separator and oil coalescing filter to remove liquid water, bulk oils, and particulate.
Removes remaining water vapor
The regenerative towers use sweep air to regenerate the towers during operations while removing any remaining water vapor. It's like changing the desiccant every two minutes.

FAQ
Choosing the right dryer
No single dryer technology is ideal for every application - we are here to help you select the solution that best matches your operating conditions.
-
Why combine an aftercooler with a regenerative dryer?
An aftercooler lowers air temperature and removes a large portion of liquid moisture before the drying stage. This improves overall system efficiency and protects the dryer in high-heat applications.

-
What makes this system suitable for mobile or vehicle-mounted installations?
The all-in-one system is designed to be securely mounted for mobile use. Its compact layout and fixed internal components help minimize vibration, movement, and wear during transport and operation.
-
How do you dry compressed air when inlet temperatures are high?
Hot compressed air must be cooled before it can be dried effectively. High temperature regenerative systems are designed to manage elevated inlet temperatures, remove bulk moisture, and deliver consistent air without overloading the system.
-
How does this system compare to a high-temperature refrigerated dryer?
High-temperature refrigerated dryers are commonly used in stationary compressed air systems and rely on refrigeration to condense and remove moisture. In many applications, they are paired with separate aftercoolers and filtration.
This system integrates an aftercooler, pre-filtration, and regenerative drying into a single, wall-mounted unit. It is designed for mobile and high-temperature applications where inlet conditions can vary and installation space is limited.
Feature High Temp Refrigerated Dryer Traditional Refrigerated System Integration All-in-one system: aftercooler, pre-filters, and regenerative dryer Dryer only; aftercooler and filters often installed separately Space Needed Wall-mounted, compact Floor-mounted, stationary Mobile Reliability Designed for mobile applications Not always designed for mobile environments Condensate Drains Float drain for consistent condensate removal Timed or electric drains common -
How do I choose between a refrigerated dryer and this system?
The right choice depends on inlet temperature, moisture load, airflow, and whether the application is stationary or mobile. Refrigerated dryers work well for many standard applications, while high-temperature regenerative systems are designed for more demanding conditions.
-
Are refrigerated dryers still a good option?
Yes, standard refrigerated dryers are a proven solution for many stationary compressed air systems operating within moderate inlet temperature ranges and controlled environments.

Aftercooler
The aftercooler cools hot air leaving air compressors quickly, forcing moisture to condense and drain off early in the process. Each unit is wall-mountable and offers six different configuration options to optimize drying and airflow in tight or mobile setups. This helps reduce the load on your system and supports cleaner, drier air.

Regenerative Dryer
All regenerative air dryers are designed to be compatible with any spray foam rig and most point-of-use applications. A regenerative dryer is wall-mountable to save space, and efficient at removing humidity so your application process stays dry, keeping water out of critical piping, and ensuring a professional final product.
