TAH / TBH / TCH Series
Exceptionally reliable and ultra compact
KRYOSEC refrigeration dryers exemplify outstanding Made in Germany quality. They provide dependable drying in ambient
temperatures up to +50°C. The combination of low pressure losses in the heat exchanger system and a low-maintenance
design ensures cost-effective operation. With their compact footprint they are exceptionally versatile. Furthermore, with the
climate-friendly refrigerant R-513A, KAESER guarantees your security of supply for the future.
Why is it necessary to dry compressed air? Fully compliant industrial quality
