Champion CH-CGDA42A1

Champion CH-CGDA42A1 is a 42-SCFM refrigerated air dryer delivering 38 deg F pressure dewpoint at up to 200 PSI maximum working pressure. It draws 0.36 kW on 115V single-phase power and weighs 90 lbs. The CGDA series from Champion uses cycling refrigeration to reduce moisture in compressed air lines, suitable for general shop and light industrial applications including pneumatic tools and spray equipment. At 42 SCFM capacity it handles output from 7.5 to 10 HP rotary screw or single-stage reciprocating compressors. The low 0.36 kW power draw minimizes operating costs in light-duty settings. At 90 lbs the unit is compact and wall- or floor-mountable. Authorized Champion Air distributors supply the full OEM datasheet with refrigerant type, inlet temperature rating, and connection sizing.
