The C-Aire D500 1.5 HP Dry Air Fire Protection Compressor is an innovative solution that eliminates corrosion in dry fire sprinkler systems, providing superior protection and extending system life. Looking for the R500? We’ve renamed the R500 to D500 to distinguish it from the FM Approved Dry Air Systems, which are specifically for cold-storage sprinkler systems.
Key Features
- Advanced Corrosion Prevention: The regenerative drying system reduces air dew point to as low as -40°F, even in extreme conditions of high ambient temperature and high humidity, effectively stopping the corrosion process.
- Easy Installation & Maintenance: Significantly easier to install and maintain than competing dry air systems, saving valuable time and reducing labor costs.
- Powerful Performance: Delivers 7.03 CFM @ 10 PSI, filling a 580-gallon dry pipe system to 40 PSI in 30 minutes, making it ideal for medium-sized systems.
- System Protection: Extends the life of your fire sprinkler system by preventing internal pipe corrosion, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Ideal Applications
- Dry pipe fire sprinkler systems in corrosive environments
- Systems in areas with significant temperature fluctuations
- Applications where dry pipe system longevity is a priority
- Retrofit installations to address existing corrosion issues
The C-Aire D500 represents our commitment to enhancing the fire protection industry through customer feedback, new technology, and industry trends. Experience the next generation of fire protection compressors with improved performance, easier installation, and superior corrosion protection. Learn more about our Dry Air Series here. According to NFPA 13, air compressors with a flow greater than 5.5 CFM at 10 psi require a tank and regulator-style air maintenance device with a bypass and restrictor (NFPA 13 8.2.6.6).
