Give yourself a competitive edge by reducing production costs with the revolutionary Sahara-Pak. The first to develop a heat-of-compression regenerative dryer, Sahara Air Products has been a leader in compressed air and gas technology since the 1950’s.
The unique Sahara-Pak uses the normally wasted heat from the compressor to regenerate its desiccant. In addition to efficiently using the heat-of-compression, the Sahara-Pak produces extremely low dew points. An important energy-saving design feature of the Sahara-Pak is the repositioned aftercooler. In order to use the heat-of-compression, the hot air goes directly into the regenerating tower, then to the aftercooler and drying tower. Net result, instrument quality air for free.
A Green Dryer, HOC Requires No CFC’s Does Not Pollute
There are two Sahara-Pak designs that allow you to choose the dryer which best fits your needs. All Heat-of-Compression dryers may only be used with an oil-free compressor; located reasonably close to the compressor. Pipe between the compressor final stage discharge and the Heat-of-Compression dryer should be insulated to minimize heat loss. Consult Lone Star on what is right for your application.
