Oil-free compression rotary screw compressors with integrated compressed air dryer


i.HOC – Outstandingly efficient compressed air drying

The patented i.HOC rotary dryer from Kaeser uses up to 100 % of compressor heat! Thanks to full-flow regeneration, it delivers reliable pressure dew points up to an ambient temperature of 45 °C – completely without electrical heating or additional cooling of the regeneration air!

  • Installed in air-cooled or water-cooled units
  • Unit rated power from 37 kW to 200 kW
  • Unit flow rates from 3.3 m³/min to 30 m³/min
  • Integrated SIGMA CONTROL 2 compressor controller (SFC model versions)

Your advantages

  • Sub-zero pressure dew points even in high ambient temperatures:
    Thanks to its extraordinary regeneration potential, the i.HOC delivers below-zero pressure dew points even with high cooling medium temperatures.
  • Pressure dew point stability even with variable flow rates:
    The pressure dew point remains stable even with low compressor load – no partial-load compensation required.
  • Effective drying AND heat recovery:
    i.HOC uses the heat exchangers of the second compression stage, which have been optimised for heat recovery, as regeneration air coolers.
Profitable thanks to low life-cycle costs

The oil-free compression rotary screw compressors with integrated i.HOC or refrigeration dryer in detail

Various drying technologies

Integrated refrigeration dryer

Even for oil-free compression rotary screw compressors, refrigeration dryers are the go-to choice for delivering best possible energy efficiency and favourable investment cost when requiring pressure dew points to +3 °C. Pressure dew points below +3 °C are provided by desiccant dryers.

Integrated i.HOC rotation dryer

The optional i.HOC rotation dryer for integration in the rotary screw compressor can reliably and efficiently achieve pressure dew points as low as -30 °C. The hot compressed air from the second compression stage is used to regenerate the desiccant.

i.HOC superior full-flow regeneration
i.HOC with KAESER full-flow regeneration
□ Full-flow regeneration □ Partial-flow regeneration
↓ Regeneration area: Hot air removes moisture from the desiccant.
↑ Drying area: Moisture is drawn into the desiccant from the cold air.

The i.HOC (Integrated Heat of Compression Dryer) system uses 100 % of the heat of compression from the second compression stage for drying purposes (full-flow regeneration). This heat, which is produced in any case, is therefore effectively available at zero cost.

  • No additional energy input for the drying process
  • Higher regeneration potential than with partial-flow regeneration dryers
  • Full performance, even with low compressor load

The advantages of full-flow regeneration become obvious, especially with increased coolant temperatures. Kaeser rotary dryers achieve outstanding drying results even without additional electric heating of the regeneration air.

Integrated refrigeration dryer

Energy-saving drying

Integrated design, together with the generously-dimensioned aluminium block heat exchanger, helps ensure minimal pressure loss of less than 0.1 bar. The energy-saving scroll refrigeration compressor helps achieve additional compressed air energy savings.

Excellent accessibility

All refrigeration dryer components are perfectly accessible via the service door on the front of the unit. Dryer service and maintenance work is therefore a breeze.
