Expanded SECOTEC Refrigerated Dryer Line Stores Thermal Energy

The new TF series, with four models from 550-1130 scfm, integrates Kaeser’s (Fredericksburg, VA) innovative SECOPACK LS latent heat thermal storage system that delivers consistent dew point control and energy efficiency under varying load conditions. SECOPACK LS contains a phase-changing material (PCM) that stores thermal energy as it cycles from a solid to a liquid state, greatly enhancing energy efficiency. The PCM module is 98% denser than conventional storage media. This, combined with topside air exhaust, creates a smaller overall footprint for the dryer.

TG dryers also feature a variable speed radial fan design that improves cooling and enables ducting and heat recovery. A dedicated fan in the electrical cabinet and optional water-cooling allow operation in high heat environments without loss of drying capacity.
