Overview
Donaldson’s refrigerated compressed air dryers use efficient cooling technology to condense and remove water vapor — helping protect your systems and maintain stable dewpoints in the 3°C to 5°C range. These systems are ideal for applications that don’t require ultra-dry air but still depend on consistent moisture removal for process safety and product quality.
With models available in non-cycling, cycling, and variable speed refrigerated air dryer configurations, we offer flexible solutions to meet different flow rates, ambient conditions, and energy efficiency requirements. Whether you're looking for a compact fridge dryer, a rugged refrigerant dryer for high pressure, or a scalable system for growing operations, our portfolio offers dependable compressed air treatment.
Buran Dryer Series
Compact Refrigerated Air Dryer for Everyday Use
The Buran dryer series is a compact and reliable fridge dryer for air systems up to 1,175 m³/h (692 scfm). It’s an ideal choice for smaller or mid-sized operations looking for effective low dew point air drying without the complexity of larger systems. Built-in filters (on select models) and zero-loss drainage simplify setup and operation.
