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 115°F – completely without electrical heating or additional cooling of the regeneration air!
- Installed in air-cooled or water-cooled units
- Unit rated power from 50 to 450 hp
- Unit flow rates from 107 to 1790 cfm
- Integrated SIGMA CONTROL 2 compressor controller
- Also available with variable speed control and frequency converter (SFC models)
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 optimized for heat recovery, as regeneration air coolers.
Benefits of full-flow generation
□ 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 is produced and available for use 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 are clear—especially with increased coolant temperatures. Kaeser drum dryers achieve outstanding drying results even without additional heating of the regeneration air.
