Frequently Asked Questions
ZEKS 3000NCG Non-Cycling Refrigerated Air Dryer
▶️ Question: What is the rated capacity for this model?
Answer: This model is rated for 3,000 SCFM (note: SCFM stated as based on 60 HZ) under the series rating conditions.
▶️ Question: What does a refrigerated air dryer do?
Answer: It cools compressed air to condense water vapor, then removes the condensate to help reduce moisture in the air system.
▶️ Question: What are the connections and pressure rating?
Answer: It uses 6" FLG connections and is rated up to 200 PSIG.
▶️ Question: What electrical information do I need to check?
Answer: Verify voltage, phase, and frequency match the unit nameplate before installation.
▶️ Question: What routine maintenance is typical?
Answer: Keep condenser surfaces clean, verify condensate drains operate correctly, and replace air filtration elements on schedule. It also lists refrigerant type R410A, footprint W 34 × D 91.5 × H 93.
