Pneumatech PE-1500

Pneumatech PE-1500 is a externally heated desiccant compressed-air dryer delivering 1500.00 SCFM at -40°F pressure dew point on 460V 60Hz 3-Ph. Specifications include maximum inlet pressure 165 PSI, max inlet temperature 122°F, port connections 4 NPT. The regeneration cycle is externally heated regen, consuming approximately 7.00% of rated flow as purge air. Physical characteristics: cabinet dimensions 106 x 97 x 54 in.. Rated flow is specified at 100 psig / 100°F inlet / 100°F ambient. Heated regeneration reduces purge air loss to approximately 7.00%, making the PE-1500 more energy-efficient than heatless alternatives at high flow rates. The PE-1500 belongs to the Pneumatech PE series, which spans multiple flow-rate variants to match system demand. The PE-1500 is available through authorized distributors; pricing is by dealer quote only. A product brochure with full specifications is available for download from the product page.
