- Every model has an integral 3 micron separator filter.
- Inlet Temperature up to 210º F.
- 3 Micron Filter - Separator with drain.
- Aluminum Cooling Technology - Air to air, air to refrigerant, separator module with efficient heat transfer, reduced energy consumption and low pressure drop.
- Constant Pressure Hot Gas By - pass Valve - Precise pressure dew point control over full operating range.
- Fan Pressure Switch on ALL models - Dryer can operate in ambient's as low as 35º F.

Aluminum Modular Dryers
- Compact design.
- Precise Dew Point Control.
- Fan control standard.
- Excellent performance : These dryers achieve excellent performance even in installations with high ambient and high inlet temperatures. The highly efficient and ultra compact heat exchanger is able to operate effectively in ambient temperatures up to 115º F and inlet temperatures of 130º F with minimal pressure drop.
- Economy of Operation : The dryers are sized to match standard compressor outputs. E.g. a 10 HP (7.5kW) air compressor with theoretical output of 50 scfm at 100 psig matches the dryer rated at 50 scfm. It is therefore unnecessary to select a larger model.
- Environmentally Friendly Construction: All materials used in the construction of these dryers are easily recycled. Only environmentally friendly refrigerants are used.

Variable Purge Selection.
Zero Purge is standard feature with a 2% purge (on average) option built into program.
Zero Purge utilizes ambient air for the cooling process.
Dry Air cooling utilizes the process (dry) air for cooling.
Nortec externally heated regenerative dryers provide a low -40º F/C pressure dew point for superior air line moisture protection, while offering the efficiency of convection-heated desiccant regeneration.
The feature are:
- Isolated External Heater for extra safety
- Intelligent Valve Control for the most reliable tower cycling
- Heatless Back-Up Mode to prevent loss of production in the event of heater failure or maintenance
