Low pressure air control panels

Our Air Dry air control panels control and regulate pressure in the dry air distribution system following the user’s electronic equipment pressure requirements. The air control panel provides gauges, a flow meter and a humidity indicator that enable personnel to monitor the dry air supply to their equipment.

Four types of air control panels are available in accordance with NAVSHIPS standard drawing 810-1385925 (Rev. B, C & E). Selection depends on the electronic equipment’s outlet pressure and flow rate requirements.

Most air control panels require an inlet air pressure from 80-125 psig. Control panels receive low-pressure dry air from a Type II dehydrator (-40°F/-40°C dew point) and reduce to a level appropriate for the application. Pressure regulation is provided by two pressure regulators (or one for Type III).

A humidity system monitors the moisture content of air passing through the panel and energizes a local alarm if the moisture level rises above a preset value of -15°F/-21°C dewpoint at 80 psig.* (For special application – use where type I, II or III cannot meet the pressure or flow rate requirements of the user equipment.)
