The D8 is a simple deliquescent compressed air dryer for 50 CFM. It's designed for any air system using a 10 - 15 horsepower air compressor. The dryer has no moving parts or power requirement, which makes it perfect for tough operating environments, such as Ready-Mix and asphalt plants, sawmills, lumber yards, foundries, rail yards, mobile vehicles, and more. The D8 is also great for intermittent use air systems, point of use applications (e.g. paint booths and blast cabinets), and areas with electrical restrictions. How it works: The D8 is a deliquescent-type compressed air dryer, consisting of an epoxy lined tank filled with Dry-O-Lite desiccant tablets. These tablets, 50 lbs. included in the initial purchase, act like sponges for humidity and soak up water vapor. Wet compressed air enters the bottom of the D8 and flows up through the Dry-O-Lite, which gradually dissolves. The dissolved Dry-O-Lite and water collect at the bottom of the tank to be drained. Dry compressed air exits the top of the tank. The dryer reduces dew point 20F below the compressed air temperature. A coalescing filter should be installed after the dryer (not included). Drain liquid after each 8 hours of operation. A manual ball valve is included. Add new Dry-O-Lite desiccant as necessary. (Typical consumption will be 65 lbs. of Dry-O-Lite desiccant per 2000 hours of operation at maximum flow.) Pro tip: Use flexible tubing to collect the drain solution in a container. Consider installing a MDV-400 automatic drain with a 1/2" valve, or equivalent full-ported mechanical drain valve.
