The D12 is a deliquescent compressed air dryer for 100 CFM. It's designed to remove harmful moisture from any air system using up to a 25 horsepower air compressor. The dryer has no moving parts or power requirement, which makes it ideal for tough operating environments, intermittent flows, point of use applications, mobile equipment, and areas with electrical restrictions.
How the D12 works. The D12 consists of an epoxy lined tank filled with Dry-O-Lite desiccant tablets. Wet air enters the bottom of the tank and flows up through these tablets, which absorb water vapor and slowly dissolve. Liquid collects at the bottom of the tank to be drained. Compressed air exits the top of the tank. An F200-100 or equivalent filter should be installed immediately after the dryer to remove oil mist and particulates. Clean dry air is now ready for use. The benefit of the D12 relative to other drying technologies is the simplicity. No moving parts. No power required.
Installation. Connect air lines and add Dry-O-Lite desiccant tablets.
Maintenance. Drain liquid after each 8 hours of operation. A manual ball valve is included. Pro tip: use flexible tubing to collect the liquid in a container. Consider installing a MDV-400 automatic drain with a 1" ball valve. Every 2-3 months inspect the Dry-O-Lite level by looking thru the sight glass on the side of the tank. Top off the tank with new Dry-O-Lite tablets as necessary. A D12 dryer will consume approximately 130 lbs. of Dry-O-Lite desiccant per 2000 hours operation at peak flow (100 CFM).
