Hankison HPRB50-A Air Dryer
The SPX FLOW Hankison HPRB50-A Refrigerated Air Dryer is a 50 SCFM non-cycling compressed air dryer designed to remove moisture from compressed air systems used in industrial facilities, maintenance shops, and pneumatic equipment applications. Operating on 115V, single-phase, 60Hz electrical power, this unit uses a refrigeration circuit to cool compressed air, condense water vapor, and separate moisture before air enters downstream equipment.
The Hankison HPRB50-A air dryer delivers a nominal 50°F (10°C) pressure dew point under specified rating conditions, helping reduce liquid water accumulation, corrosion, and moisture-related pneumatic equipment problems. Its 50 CFM compressed air drying capacity is rated at 100 PSIG inlet pressure, 100°F inlet air temperature, and 100°F ambient temperature.
This industrial refrigerated compressed air dryer features 1/2-inch FNPT inlet and outlet connections, a non-cycling refrigeration system, and R513A refrigerant.
Verify compressor output, operating pressure, inlet temperature, ventilation clearance, and condensate drainage requirements before installation.

Common Questions
Q: What size air compressor can be used with the Hankison HPRB50-A refrigerated air dryer?
A: The Hankison HPRB50-A has a rated capacity of 50 SCFM under specified conditions. Select the dryer according to the compressor's actual delivered airflow, inlet air temperature, operating pressure, and ambient temperature rather than motor horsepower alone. Applications exceeding the rated capacity may require a larger dryer.
Q: What dew point does the Hankison HPRB50-A air dryer provide?
A: The HPRB50-A is designed to maintain a nominal 50°F (10°C) pressure dew point under rated operating conditions. This helps remove condensed moisture from compressed air and reduce water-related problems in downstream pneumatic equipment. Actual performance depends on airflow, inlet temperature, pressure, and ambient conditions.
Q: What are the electrical and installation requirements for the Hankison HPRB50-A?
A: The unit requires 115V AC, single-phase, 60Hz electrical service and has 1/2-inch FNPT air inlet and outlet connections. Install it in a properly ventilated location with suitable condensate drainage. Confirm the equipment nameplate, circuit requirements, air piping, and manufacturer installation instructions before commissioning.
