Data refers to the following condition: Ambient temperature of 35°C, with inlet air at 7 bar and 45°C. Pressure dew point as per Class 5-ISO Standard 8573.1.

Maximum working conditions: Ambient temperature 50°C, inlet air temperature 70°C and inlet air pressure 14 bar (16 bar TFD 6-22).

The Pilot TFD 30 Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryer System operation is monitored by a digital thermometer in the control panel. The innovative new hot gas bypass valve incorporates greater precision and accuracy, preventing the formation of ice inside the evaporator under any load condition. Set during final testing, the valve requires no further adjustments.

All models are also fitted with a timed electronic drain, which allows for the adjustment of discharge and pause times. The generous sizing of the condenser ensures maximum performance of the refrigerant circuit and the ability to operate with changes in conditions, while also offering easy access for cleaning and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Built for Australian conditions” mean for the Pilot TFD30 system?

The Pilot TFD30 Refrigerated Compressed Air Dryer System is engineered to withstand Australia’s heat and humidity, with its flow rate rated at 35 °C ambient, using an ALU-DRY heat exchanger, hot gas bypass valve, and large condenser to ensure reliable operation in Sydney workshops and industrial environments.

What are the technical specifications of the TFD30 system?

The TFD30 system delivers 50 L/sec (≈ 106 CFM) airflow, runs on 240 V power, has 1″ BSP female inlet/outlets, and compact dimensions of 304 mm (W) × 694 mm (D) × 907 mm (H), making it ideal for larger commercial and industrial facilities in Sydney.

Does the TFD30 system meet Sydney / NSW regulatory and operational standards?
Yes — the Pilot TFD30 complies with Australian standards and includes a digital control panel, hot gas bypass protection, and a timed electronic condensate drain to meet safety and performance expectations across Sydney and NSW.

What is included in the standard package when purchasing the TFD30?

Every TFD30 unit comes factory-tested with an ALU-DRY heat exchanger, condensate drain, hot gas bypass valve, upgraded electrical control panel, and warranty support, so it’s ready for installation straight out of the box.

How should I maintain the TFD30 to ensure long-term performance and reliability?

To maintain your Pilot TFD30 system, regularly clean the condenser, check the electronic condensate drain, inspect the hot gas bypass valve, and replace the required 3-micron pre-filter. Pilot Air also provides Sydney-based servicing and spare parts for long-term support.

Pilot Air Reviews

We have a growing manufacturing business and our air supply needed to be upgraded to deliver to a clean volume of air to specific machines and mainly our spray booth. 3 Months ago the team at Pilot Air evaluated our requirement and delivered an excellent solution, we have had time to run the system for a considerable time and found it to be excellent. Also Australian Manufactured to boot. Very Happy.

My husband recently bought a second hand Trademaster 12 air compressor in need of some maintenance. He took it to the Silverwater servicing centre with no prior arrangement. The staff were polite, obliging, and eager to help, and he was impressed with the service provided. Well done Pilot Air!
