Regenerative Dryer

Reduced Production Costs

Give yourself a competitive edge by reducing
production costs with the revolutionary Sahara-Pak.
The first to develop a heat-of-compression regenerative
dryer, Sahara Air Products has been a leader in
compressed air and gas technology since the 1950’s.

The unique Sahara-Pak uses the normally wasted heat from the compressor to regenerate its desiccant.
In addition to efficiently using the heat-of-compression,
the Sahara-Pak produces extremely low dew points.
An important energy-saving design feature of the
Sahara-Pak is the repositioned aftercooler. In order to
use the heat-of-compression, the hot air goes directly
into the regenerating tower, then to the aftercooler and
drying tower. Net result, instrument quality air for free.

There are two Sahara-Pak designs that allow you to choose the dryer which best fits your needs. All Heat-of-Compression dryers may only be used with an oil-free compressor; located reasonably close to the compressor. Pipe between the compressor final stage discharge and the Heat-of-Compression dryer should be insulated to
minimize heat loss. Consult Lone Star on what is right for your application. Call today or contact us.
