Exceptional Reliability
Introducing the TS Dryer
A new non-cycling, refrigerated air dryer by Ingersoll Rand,
the TS dryer is designed to improve reliability, productivity
and efficiency, protect health and safety and lessen
environmental impact.
Micro-channel condenser
To accomplish this, the TS dryer incorporates several key technical innovations. Among these innovations are
its 3-in-1 heat exchanger(s), micro-channel condenser, microprocessor and “Smart” drain.
60°C inlet rated
3-in-1 heat exchanger(s)
3-in-1 integrated heat exchanger(s) increase the reliability
of your compressed air system by:
• Reducing leak paths and refrigeration valving
46°C ambient rated
• Integrating major components
— pre-cooler and re-heater
Hot, saturated inlet air
— heat exchanger
— air/water separator
• Providing consistent and stable dry, process air

• Decreases nuisance shutdowns
• More tolerant of poor ventilation in the compressor room
• Accepts higher inlet temperatures produced by fouled air compressor aftercoolers
