Description
ZEKS 150NCH NC Series Non-Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryer
The ZEKS 150NCH is a non-cycling refrigerated compressed air dryer designed to help reduce moisture in compressed air systems by cooling the air stream and removing condensate. Built for industrial compressed air applications, it helps reduce water-related corrosion, contamination, and downstream equipment issues.
ZEKS NC Series dryers list standard equipment including a microprocessor controller, remote alarm contact, electronic drain, and a NEMA 12 electrical enclosure. The ZEKS price book also states that a properly sized prefilter must be installed before the dryer; failure to install and maintain the prefilter will void dryer warranty.
Key Features
- NC Series™ non-cycling design: continuous refrigeration for steady moisture removal.
- CFX® exchanger technology: designed for efficient heat transfer and low pressure drop.
- Capacity: rated for 150 SCFM.
