Product Data Sheet APD72-C

APD72-C Automatic Dehydrator, with LP alarm, 0.58 SCFM,230V 50 Hz

Product Description
The APD72-C series is similar in design and features to the APD20-C series, except that the
APD72-C has the larger 0.58 SCFM capacity and includes a protective metal rear cover as standard
equipment. Like the APD20-C dehydrator, the APD72-C systems utilizes a pressure swing moisture
absorption drying system that provides pressurized dry air to the system and continuously purges the
collected moisture to the atmosphere. This eliminates the need for replacement or manual
reactivation of the desiccant and makes our APD20-C and APD72-C series dehydrators ideal for
unattended operation at even remote sites. System pressure is controlled by the dehydrator pressure
switch settings. Normally, this is factory adjusted to 3 psig (20.7kPa) “on” and 5 psig (34.5 kPa) “off”,
but may be readjusted in the field to operate anywhere between 1.5 and 10 psig (10.3 kPa and 68.9
kPa). For additional safety, a standard low pressure alarm switch , factory-set at 1 psig (6.9 kPa), is
installed in the dehydrator. The alarm switch contains a set of SPST contacts that can be used for Dehydrator
both local and remote monitoring or alarming. Additional standard features include a 0-15 psig
pressure gauge, indicating power light, and a visual moisture monitor which is dark blue when dry
and turns pink when wet.
The units may be shelf mounted or placed in a 19” EIA relay rack.
