Moisture removal / Desiccation system
Dynalene’s Fluidry® product line consists of moisture removal (or desiccation) systems which helps in maintaining low moisture content in hydrocarbons, silicone-based heat transfer fluids and transformer oil (insulation oil). These high-capacity molecular sieve-based systems are also designed for effective moisture removal from refrigerants and lubricants.
Maintaining low moisture content in low- and high-temperature heat transfer fluids is crucial to attaining or maintaining designed system efficiency. Moisture, which can enter into a fluid system due to improper seals, improper handling, system leaks, or malfunctioning driers, can cause system failures. Moisture in hydrocarbons operated below 0°C can form ice crystals that may clog valves and form a coating on heat exchanger surfaces, affecting the operational efficiency of the refrigeration system. In high-temperature applications, any moisture could turn to steam, which may increase internal pressure resulting in an eruption. Additionally, moisture in hydrocarbon- and silicone-based heat transfer fluids causes formation of acids, resulting in metal corrosion and chemical damage to gasket materials

- The Desiccation system can be custom-built to fit your specifications, which includes choice of inlet and outlet connections, gasket material and pressure rating.
TX Series
The TX series desiccation system is designed for moderate- to high-flow rate moisture removal. This system is equipped with internal filters that prevent desiccant particulates from entering the fluid stream. The system can handle moisture removal from hydrocarbons, silicone oils, transformer oil, refrigerants, and lubricants.
Features
- Works effectively for moderate to high flow applications.
- Inlet and outlet available in NPT or flange connections.
- Contains internal filters that prevent particulate contaminants from the desiccant entering the fluid stream.
- Includes drain port and ports that can be used to connect pressure gauges.
- Can be custom built to fit your specifications, including choice of inlet and outlet connections, gasket material, and pressure rating.
HX Series
The HX series moisture removal system is a high performance device that is specifically designed for user-friendly experience in maintaining low moisture content in a variety of non-aqueous heat transfer fluids as well as refrigerants and lubricants.
Dynalene’s desiccation system has numerous advantages compared to the traditional desiccation system. They are:
Traditional Desiccation System
DYD Series Desiccation System
Fluid spillage
No spills
Creates a flammable atmosphere
Non flammable atmosphere
Odor when desiccant change out
No odor
Unfriendly and heavy desiccant baskets
User friendly and easy cartridge change out
Designed for a particular flow rate
Adjustable for different flow rates based on moisture content in the fluid loop
Features
- The system is equipped with connections for gauge and to provide a nitrogen blanket or vacuum, which can help avoid internal ice formation when operating at low temperatures.
- Drain port is provided in the system that can help drain fluid if any internal spills.
- The cartridges in the system contain quick disconnect with automatic shut off for easy handling and to avoid fluid spills.
- The system design has the capability to be adjusted to operate at different flow rates based on moisture content in the fluid loop.
- The Desiccation system can be custom built to fit your specifications, which includes choice of pipe requirement, gasket material, material of construction, pressure rating, flow rate and water removal capacity.
