FRL's
FRL's

FRLs (filter, regulator and lubricator units) condition compressed air at the point of use. They remove contaminants, set the correct pressure and add lubrication for pneumatic tools and components.

FRL Options

  • Combination FRL units – three functions in one assembly
  • Filter/regulators – space-saving two-in-one
  • Modular units – build custom air prep assemblies
  • Accessories – gauges, brackets, shutoff valves and drains
  • Metal and polycarbonate bowls – match pressure and environment

Choosing an FRL

Size the unit for peak air flow and select filter micron and regulator range. Skip the lubricator if components are pre-lubricated or air must be oil-free. Metal bowls are required in some environments.

Centro carries FRL units and parts for compressed air systems.

Dryers
Dryers

Compressed air dryers remove water vapor to prevent condensation, corrosion and freezing in air lines. Dry air protects tools, instruments and products, especially in painting, food and outdoor applications.

Dryer Types

  • Refrigerated dryers – economical dew points around 35-39°F
  • Desiccant air dryers – dew points to -40°F or lower
  • Membrane dryers – point-of-use drying without power
  • Heatless and heated regeneration – desiccant efficiency options

Choosing a Dryer

Select based on required pressure dew point, flow, inlet temperature and ambient conditions. Pre-filters protect desiccant dryers from oil. Size for summer conditions to avoid wet air.

Centro supplies compressed air dryers and replacement desiccant.

Compressed air drains remove the condensate that collects in filters, dryers, receivers and drip legs. Removing water automatically protects equipment and keeps air quality up.

Drain Types

  • Timer drains – simple, programmable discharge
  • Zero air-loss drains – discharge water only, saving energy
  • Float drains – mechanical, no power needed
  • Internal filter bowl drains – automatic draining at filters

Choosing a Drain

Consider the condensate volume, pressure, power availability and oil content. Zero-loss drains pay back quickly by stopping wasted air. Route condensate to an oil-water separator before disposal.

Centro carries compressed air drains for filters, receivers and dryers.

Filter Elements
Filter Elements

Compressed air filter elements are the replaceable parts that do the filtering inside compressed air housings. Regular replacement keeps air quality high and pressure drop low.

Element Types

  • Particulate elements – remove solids
  • Coalescing elements – remove oil and water aerosols
  • Activated carbon elements – remove oil vapor
  • OEM interchangeable elements – fit major brands

Replacement Tips

Replace elements annually or when pressure drop rises. Have the housing brand and model ready to find the right element.

Centro supplies compressed air filter elements.

Also known as GasDry Max 10BF is the most effective deliquescent desiccant from Van Air Systems. Formulated primarily for the dehydration of natural gas and for use in Van Air Systems Pipeline Dryers, 10BF is a dense hygroscopic tablet that absorbs water vapor. The surface of the desiccant tablet dissolves slowly, forming a brine solution which drops from the surface. The tablet continuously dissolves, or deliquesces, until the desiccant is fully consumed. Van Air Systems deliquescent desiccants, including 10BF, are non-toxic and fully water soluble. Features and Benefits Requires no energy or fuel For operating temperatures 100°F and lower Prevents condensation Inhibits natural gas hydrate formation Can be used indoors or outdoors Prevents air or gas line freeze-ups Environmentally safe Replace TEG dehydrators No BTEX emissions 1" diameter tablet Little or no maintenance required for drying equipment Available in 7lb pails and 25lb and 45lb pails Applications Meeting pipeline moisture specifications Fuel gas dehydration Instrument gas dehydration Lowering dew point of chilled biogas and landfill gas for siloxane mitigation Remote outdoor locations without electricity Environments with electrical classification restrictions Downloads Brochure

Also known as GasDry Peak SP is a leading deliquescent desiccant formulated primarily for the dehydration of natural gas for use in Van Air Systems Pipeline Dryers when the gas temperature is below 80°F. SP is a dense hygroscopic tablet that absorbs water vapor. The surface of the desiccant tablet dissolves slowly, forming a brine solution which drops from the surface. The tablet continuously dissolves, or deliquesces, until the desiccant is fully consumed. Van Air Systems deliquescent desiccants, including SP, are non-toxic and fully water soluble. In a properly sized Pipeline Dryer, SP will establish a relative humidity of 33%, which equates to a dew point approximately 30°F lower than the temperature of the gas at the inlet of the dryer. Features and Benefits Requires no energy or fuel For operating temperatures 80°F and lower Prevents condensation Inhibits natural gas hydrate formation Can be used indoors or outdoors Prevents gas line freeze-ups Environmentally safe No BTEX emissions Available in 50lb bags and 400lb steel drums Applications Drying high pressure, low temperature sales gas Fuel gas dehydration Instrument gas dehydration Downloads Brochure
