Product Description
Van Air Systems part number 33-0367 is an activated alumina desiccant supplied in a 50lb bag with 3/16 inch bead size. Activated alumina is an aluminum oxide bead with an extremely porous structure and high surface area-to-mass ratio, ideal for compressed air and gas drying applications.
- Achieves dew points from -40°F to -100°F depending on dryer design
- 3/16 inch bead size for applications where pressure drop and surface area requirements fall between 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch materials
- High adsorption capacity reduces initial cost, energy consumption, and operating costs
- Low abrasion minimizes dusting and pressure drop
- Resistant to liquid water slugging from upstream after-cooler or separator failures
- High crush strength limits dusting during loading into dryer towers
- Uniform bead size minimizes pressure drop, channeling, and ensures full desiccant bed utilization
- Service life of 2-5 years in regenerative drying systems
- Adsorption capacity can be restored after complete regeneration
Used primarily in compressed air desiccant dryers, this activated alumina is available at Next Day Fittings for fast industrial delivery. Also available in 25lb pails, 375lb steel drums, and 2,000lb bulk bags.
