Refrigerated air dryer

LR 26-260

The Liutech LR 26-260 refrigerated air dryer range is available across Southeast Asia and Oceania, helping remove moisture from compressed air systems to protect equipment and improve air quality. Designed for reliable operation and stable pressure dew point performance, the range supports a wide variety of industrial compressed air applications.

LR105

3 in 1 exchanger

Integrated air‑to‑air, evaporator and separator design maximises heat transfer efficiency, reduces pressure drop and delivers compact, reliable drying performance.

Stable dew point

Optimised refrigerant circuit and hot‑gas bypass maintain a consistent dew point, ensuring reliable air quality across varying loads and ambient conditions.

Wide flow range

From small workshops to large plants, LR 26-260 models cover approximately 2.6 to 26 m³/min with air‑ and water‑cooled configurations available.

Energy efficient refrigerant drying from 2.6 to 26 m³/min

The LR 26-260 range is engineered to deliver dependable refrigerant‑based drying for compressed air systems of almost any size. Warm, saturated inlet air is precooled by outgoing dry air, then chilled in the evaporator to condense moisture, which is removed by a high‑efficiency separator and electronic drain before the air is reheated for safe distribution.

A compact 3‑in‑1 heat exchanger keeps pressure drop low, while proven refrigerant compressors, copper condensers and hot‑gas bypass control help maintain a stable dew point under changing operating conditions. With models ranging from compact LR26 units to high‑capacity LR260 versions, users can closely match dryer size to system demand and layout.

LR 26-260 refrigerant dryers are designed around typical operating conditions of approximately 7 bar(g), 35 °C inlet temperature and 25 °C ambient, with correction factors available for higher temperatures. Across the range, airflow coverage extends from about 2.6 m³/min up to roughly 26 m³/min, maintaining a typical pressure dew point suitable for most industrial applications.

Working pressures generally span from around 5 to 13 bar(g), with maximum inlet temperatures up to approximately 55–60 °C when correctly sized. Smaller models use R134a refrigerant, while mid and large‑size units use R410A to support efficient cooling performance.

LR 26-260 dryers are designed for simple, low‑effort maintenance. The refrigerant circuit is factory set, so routine work focuses on visual inspections, condenser cleaning, drain checks and verification of correct airflow. Proper upstream filtration and a clean installation environment help maintain drying performance and extend service intervals.

Electronic drains and accessible components reduce service time during planned inspections. Maintenance frequency can be adapted to site conditions, with lighter workloads in clean environments and more frequent checks in dusty or humid installations to ensure consistent performance.

By removing moisture before it enters the distribution network, LR dryers help prevent corrosion, scaling, valve failures and product defects, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance across the compressed air system. Low internal pressure drop minimises the additional compressor power required for drying.

The wide LR 26-260 size range allows accurate matching to actual air demand, avoiding oversizing and unnecessary energy use. Combined with robust components and straightforward maintenance, this results in a low total cost of ownership and reliable long‑term air quality.
