Compressed air dryers

FX-series refrigerant dryers

The high-performance, reliable dry air

solution
Atlas Copco FX refrigerant dryers provide the clean,
dry air you need with a stable pressure dewpoint as low
as 3-5°C. The FX-series is designed in-house and tested
using the most stringent methods to ensure strong
performance and reliability.
