Description
Overview
The EMAX EDRCF1150030 is a 30 CFM refrigerated air dryer with a built-in coalescing filter and automatic drain, sized to clean and dry the air from a 3, 5, or 7.5 HP shop compressor. It runs on standard 115V single-phase power, so it drops into most existing setups without a new circuit.
Wet, oily air ruins tools, finishes, and pneumatic controls. This dryer chills the compressed air to condense out moisture, then the integrated coalescing filter strips oil and solid particles before the air reaches your lines. The result is cleaner air, longer tool life, and fewer water problems at the point of use.
Key Features
- 30 CFM capacity - matches the output of a typical 3 HP to 7.5 HP reciprocating compressor.
- Built-in coalescing filter - removes oil and solids from the air stream in one unit.
- Automatic drain - discharges collected condensate without manual intervention.
- 115V single-phase power - drawn through a 6 amp recommended breaker, no special service required.
- Rated to 230 PSI - with R134A refrigerant and UL/CSE listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size compressor does the EDRCF1150030 support?
It is rated for 30 CFM, which covers the output of most 3 HP, 5 HP, and 7.5 HP reciprocating compressors. Match the dryer rating to your compressor CFM at working pressure.
Does it need a special electrical circuit?
No. It runs on 115V single-phase power with a recommended 6 amp breaker, so it works on a standard shop circuit.
Is a filter included or does it cost extra?
A coalescing filter is built into the unit. It removes oil and solids from the air stream and collects them in a drain trap that empties through the automatic drain.
What refrigerant does it use?
The dryer uses R134A refrigerant and is rated to a maximum working pressure of 230 PSI.
