SHL Series Heaterless Desiccant Dryers

StylAir SHL model dryers are heaterless, twin-tower, regenerative desiccant dryers designed to remove water vapor from compressed air and gas to a pressure dewpoint of -40°F and lower.

Heaterless (pressure-swing adsorption) dryers are preferred for their simple, reliable design and low initial cost. A continuous flow of dry air or gas is provided to eliminate moisture and contaminants found in all air and gas systems.

Standard Features

  • -40°F line pressure dewpoint
  • ASME Code desiccant vessels (floor-mounted models)
  • NEMA 10 minute cycle, fully automatic operation
  • Adjustable timer cycle for lower dewpoints (floor-mounted models)
  • Fail safe operation: continuous flow on loss of power or control air
  • Non-lubricated valves
  • Tower pressure gauges on all models
  • Gradual repressurization for long desiccant life
  • ASME relief valve on outlet manifold
  • Full charge of desiccant
  • Heavy duty angle and channel support base (floor-mounted models)
  • NEMA 4 electrical construction
  • Cycle Failure Alarm (floor-mounted models)
  • 120V/1Ph/60Hz operation
  • On-Off switch with Power-On light (floor-mounted models)
  • LED pilot lights

Optional Features

  • -70°F to -100°F line pressure dewpoint
  • Purge Rate Flowmeter – included on larger models
  • NEMA 4X, 7 electrics
  • Entrainment Separators
  • Coalescing Prefilters
  • Afterfilters
  • Mounted filters, manual bypasses
  • Dewpoint monitors and alarms
  • Color change dewpoint indicator
  • Temperature gauges
  • Special designs available for flows to 30,000 SCFM and pressures to over 5000 PSIG
  • Construction for corrosive environments, hazardous locations, off-shore installations
  • Full pneumatic controls – for hazardous locations or where electrical power is not available
  • Optional voltages – 12 or 24 VDC; 110-220V/50Hz
  • Exclusive demand system for Heaterless Dryers

StylAir's SHL Series - More Info

StylAir's SHL Series - More Info
The StylAir regenerative desiccant dryer is a fully automatic unit designed to dry compressed air or gas to meet or exceed the customer’s requirements. The dryer consists of dual drying chambers which are alternately cycled through drying and regeneration cycles. One chamber is drying air at all times.

The wet, compressed process air flows through one drying tower where water vapor is adsorbed into the desiccant – an inert, hygroscopic material with an enormous surface to mass ratio. The off-stream drying tower is regenerated by taking a small amount of the dried process air (purge) and passing it through its bed at low (atmospheric) pressure. The moisture trapped in the desiccant is released and is carried off by the purge flow and exhausted to atmosphere.

Conservative Tower Sizing – Designed for Optimum Performance and Long Desiccant Life

  • Low upflow velocities – < 60 fpm
  • Long contact times – 5 sec. or more
  • Controlled blowdown and repressurization

ASME code designed and stamped drying towers on all floor models

SS Desiccant Support/Flow Distributors

  • Practically indestructible wedge-wire design prevents collapse or tearing; are cleanable and reusable (floor models)
  • High strength welded screen on wall models

Rugged, Reliable Industrial Controls

  • UL components from controllers to terminal boards to provide that extra measure of safety
  • High style NEMA 4/IP65 enclosures
  • Microprocessor/PLC based controls provide real diagnostic info

Standard corrosion resistant acrylic coating protects for years in adverse environments

Proven high reliability valving

  • Designed for air dryer service
  • Non-lubricated, high cycle design
  • Easy maintenance
  • Only dry, filtered pilot air is used for actuated valves

Separate desiccant fill and drain ports on all models (exc. SHL-H01N and SHL-H03N)
