Compressor desiccant dryers
Dry pipe systems require ultra dry, ultra clean compressed air and our air compressors with desiccant dryers are designed specifically for these applications. A dry pipe sprinkler system provides protection in cold areas of a building where very low or freezing temperatures can be expected. This would include places such as walk-in commercial freezers, unheated warehouse spaces, loading docks open to the outside …
