California Air Tools CAT-RD-91502

California Air Tools CAT-RD-91502 is a 52-SCFM refrigerated air dryer rated for a 36 deg F pressure dewpoint, 176 deg F maximum inlet temperature, and 104 deg F maximum ambient temperature. Powered by a 0.50 kW motor at 115V single-phase, the unit weighs 88 lbs. The 115V configuration (versus the 220V CAT-RD-91503) makes this model suitable for standard household or shop circuits without a dedicated 220V outlet. California Air Tools positions this dryer for small to mid-size shops, garages, and light manufacturing where moisture control at moderate flow rates is the priority. Connections and refrigerant type are not confirmed in available data. Retail price is approximately $1,625. Remaining gaps: connection size not confirmed; refrigerant not specified; inlet PSI max not on record; OEM datasheet not located.
