The Parker Hiross Starlette Plus Refrigeration Air Dryer is designed to provide reliable and efficient moisture removal from compressed air systems used in industrial environments. By utilising advanced refrigeration drying technology, the Starlette Plus range ensures a consistent supply of high-quality compressed air, supporting reliable operation, improved product quality and optimised production costs.
Compressed air used in industrial processes often contains significant levels of moisture. If left untreated, this moisture can lead to corrosion in pipelines, contamination of finished products, reduced pneumatic equipment efficiency and increased maintenance costs. Refrigerated dryers such as the Starlette Plus eliminate these issues by cooling compressed air and condensing the water vapour, which is then removed from the system.
Developed by Parker Hannifin under the Hiross product line, the Starlette Plus range is engineered to maintain stable dew point control while minimising pressure losses and operating costs. This ensures consistent compressed air quality across a wide variety of industrial applications.
A key feature of the system is the PlusPack integrated heat exchanger, which combines multiple heat exchange stages within a compact design. This advanced heat exchanger improves thermal efficiency while maintaining low pressure drops, helping to reduce the overall energy consumption of the compressed air system.
The Starlette Plus dryer also incorporates reliable air-tight piston compressors that operate without the need for preheating, ensuring dependable performance even during frequent start-stop cycles. The refrigeration circuit is designed to be simple, secure and maintenance-friendly, requiring no adjustment during operation and undergoing rigorous quality testing during production.
To ensure reliable operation in demanding environments, the dryer features large adjustable condenser and fan compartments, allowing effective cooling even under challenging operating conditions. Additional protection within the refrigeration circuit safeguards the system from operational faults, improving long-term reliability.
Maintenance has also been simplified through easy access to internal components, allowing quick servicing and inspection. The condensate drain is conveniently positioned within an accessible compartment, enabling technicians to reach it without removing the top panel.
With its compact footprint, efficient heat exchanger technology and robust refrigeration system design, the Parker Hiross Starlette Plus refrigeration air dryer provides reliable compressed air drying performance for a wide range of industrial compressed air applications.
