Overview

The nVent VCAD25 Vortex Ambient Dryer (SKU: VCAD25) is a refrigerant-free, high-efficiency solution for industrial compressed air moisture control. Part of the Bulletin MCLY Series, this 2500 BTU/HR dryer utilizes advanced vortex technology to deliver reliable, low-maintenance operation without moving parts or refrigerants. It is designed for NEMA Type 4, 4X, and 12 enclosures and is UL508 Listed, ensuring compliance for hazardous and non-hazardous locations. The VCAD25 generates chilled air by separating compressed air into hot and cold streams, expelling moisture via an integrated 5-micron airline filter and automatic condensate drain. This makes it ideal for applications requiring precise temperature control, minimal maintenance, and zero environmental impact, unlike traditional refrigerated dryers. The durable polycarbonate bowl with a metal bowl guard, 150 psig maximum pressure, and 125°F (52°C) operating temperature make it versatile for various industrial settings. Key applications include manufacturing, food & beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and harsh outdoor environments. The VCAD25 offers energy efficiency by operating solely on compressed air, consuming no additional electricity. It is compatible with VAAF25 (5-micron filter) and VCOF25 (0.01-micron oil removal filter) accessories. With a 2500 BTU/HR cooling capacity, it handles high thermal loads. The dryer supports up to 50 SCFM airflow and features an IP-rated design for dust and water resistance. As a product from nVent (formerly Hoffman), it benefits from extensive expertise in thermal management and enclosure solutions.
