Atlas Copco CD65+ Cerades 133cfm Desiccant Air Dryer -40°F Dew Point with Purge Control, 8102365486

The Atlas Copco CD65+ Cerades is a heatless desiccant air dryer rated to 133cfm. The CD65+ delivers reliable -40°F compressed air drying in a compact, energy-conscious design. With solid structured desiccant, MK5 Touch control, pressure dew point monitoring, UD+ inlet filtration, and optimized purge air management, this dryer is built for users who need more than basic moisture removal. It is a strong choice for smaller industrial systems where clean, dry, consistent compressed air is critical to equipment protection and process reliability.

What separates the CD65+ from traditional desiccant air dryers is Atlas Copco’s Cerades solid structured desiccant technology. Instead of forcing compressed air through loose desiccant beads, Cerades uses structured channels coated with desiccant material. This helps lower pressure drop, reduce energy loss, eliminate desiccant dust, and extend service intervals. For shops, production facilities, packaging lines, food and beverage plants, paint applications, pharmaceutical processes, electronics manufacturing, and other moisture-sensitive compressed air applications, the CD65+ provides reliable dry air in a compact, efficient package.

This CD65+ configuration includes Atlas Copco’s advanced touch controller with pressure dew point monitoring, demand-based purge saving functionality, connectivity options, and service indicators.

The dryer is supplied with a high-efficiency UD+ inlet filter and purge nozzle kit to help match purge air use to operating pressure, reducing unnecessary compressed air loss and improving overall system efficiency.

The internal Atlas Copco part number for this heatless desiccant air dryer is 8102365478.

CD65+ Cerades Desiccant Features & Benefits

• Solid structured desiccant design – Cerades replaces traditional loose desiccant beads with solid structured blocks containing coated air channels. This creates a more controlled airflow path through the dryer and helps improve drying performance.
• Lower pressure drop – The structured flow path allows compressed air to move through the dryer with less resistance than conventional bead-style desiccant beds. Lower pressure drop can reduce compressor energy demand and help lower operating costs.
• More efficient use of the desiccant bed – Because the air follows structured channels, the dryer can use the desiccant material more evenly instead of leaving unused areas in the bed.
• No desiccant dust – Traditional loose desiccant beads can break down over time and create dust that may require additional filtration and maintenance. Cerades helps eliminate this dust issue, reducing maintenance concerns and helping protect downstream equipment.
• Longer desiccant life – The solid structured design is more resistant to wear and decay caused by pressure swings during dryer cycling. This helps maintain consistent dryer performance and supports longer service intervals.
• Improved air quality stability – By reducing desiccant breakdown and dust carryover, Cerades helps maintain a more stable pressure dew point and consistent compressed air purity.
• Lower maintenance requirements – With no loose desiccant beads to decay and no after-filter required in the standard configuration, the CD65+ can help reduce service time, filter costs, and dryer-related downtime.
• Flexible installation options – Cerades is vibration-resistant and can support more flexible installation arrangements compared with traditional loose desiccant dryers.
• Compact design – The structured desiccant design allows the dryer to handle airflow efficiently in a smaller footprint, saving space in the compressor room or production area.
• Cleaner and more environmentally friendly service – Since Cerades does not create fine desiccant dust, maintenance is cleaner and avoids the dust-handling issues commonly associated with traditional bead-style dryers.

Elektronikon MK5 Touch Microprocessor Controller:

• Advanced graphical touch display – The MK5 / Elektronikon Touch controller provides a clear, easy-to-read interface for viewing dryer status, alarms, service information, and operating conditions.
• Pressure dew point monitoring – The included PDP sensor monitors dryer performance and helps maintain the required dew point for the application
• Energy-saving dew point control – When the dryer is not fully loaded, the controller can extend cycle time to reduce purge air consumption while still maintaining the required pressure dew point.
• Remote monitoring and control capability – Connectivity options such as Ethernet and CAN allow users to integrate the dryer into broader compressed air monitoring systems.
• Service indicators and maintenance scheduling – The controller provides service plan indication and maintenance reminders to help users stay ahead of required service.
• Alarm relay functionality – Alarm outputs allow dryer warnings or shutdown conditions to be tied into facility monitoring systems.
• Week timer scheduling – Built-in scheduling allows users to set operating patterns around production hours, helping reduce unnecessary operation during downtime.
• Automatic restart after voltage failure – The dryer can restart automatically after a power interruption, helping reduce manual intervention.
• IP65 protection – The MK5 configuration includes IP65 protection, helping protect the controller in demanding industrial environments.
