- Electronic drain
- Microprocessor controller
- Remote alarm contact
Optional Equipment Adders
- Gauge Assembly (Field Installed): 800872WCH – includes compressed air temperature and pressure gauge. Two gauge assemblies are required to measure both inlet and outlet conditions.
- 3 Valve Bypass (Field Installed): 47532878001 – provides a way to isolate the dryer for service and bypass air around the dryer during maintenance. Assembly ships separately for field mounting.
Recommended Prefilter
- ZFC45P: efficient filtration with low pressure drop, using a 1 micron element with approximately 6 psid clean and dry.
Installation & Application Notes
- Install a properly sized prefilter before the dryer.
- Failure to install and maintain a prefilter may void the dryer warranty.
- Allow clearance for service access and condensate drain routing during installation.
- Optional equipment is shipped separately for field installation and may require field mounting.
- Confirm the model capacity, connection size, and electrical requirements match your compressed air system before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
▶️ Question: What does the ZEKS 25NCF refrigerated air dryer do?
Answer: The ZEKS 25NCF removes moisture from compressed air by cooling the air and separating condensate. This helps protect downstream equipment, reduce corrosion, and improve compressed air system reliability.
▶️ Question: Is the ZEKS 25NCF the right size dryer for a 25 SCFM system?
Answer: The ZEKS 25NCF is rated for 25 SCFM and may be a good fit for systems operating within that capacity when actual operating conditions match the manufacturer’s rating basis.
▶️ Question: Why do I need a prefilter before the ZEKS 25NCF?
Answer: A properly sized prefilter helps protect the dryer from contaminants, supports reliable performance, and may be required to maintain warranty coverage.
▶️ Question: What features come standard on the ZEKS 25NCF?
Answer: Standard features include a NEMA 12 electrical package, electronic drain, microprocessor controller, and remote alarm contact.
▶️ Question: What optional accessories are available for the ZEKS 25NCF?
Answer: Optional accessories include a field-installed gauge assembly and a 3 valve bypass assembly for isolating the dryer during service.
