The Pilot TFD 22 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 features make the Pilot TFD22 “Built for Australian conditions”?

The Pilot TFD22 Refrigerated Compressed Air Treatment System is designed to perform reliably under harsh Australian conditions — high heat, heavy usage, and humidity. It uses industrial-grade components and materials that resist corrosion and wear, making it trusted by businesses across Sydney and regional NSW.

What are the technical specifications and capacity of the TFD22 system?

The TFD22 unit is built for larger compressed air systems, delivering enhanced moisture removal performance, consistent dew point control, and minimal pressure drop — all essential for demanding workshop or production environments in Sydney.

Is the TFD22 compliant with safety, electrical, and environmental standards in NSW / Sydney?

Yes. The Pilot TFD22 meets Australian safety and electrical regulations and carries specifications that customers in Sydney rely on for regulatory compliance and long-term reliability.

What components and features are included in the standard TFD22 package?

Each TFD22 system is delivered with a refrigeration dryer, heat exchanger, moisture separator, filters, control panel, and factory-tested electronics — all as standard inclusions to ensure “plug-and-run” operation for Sydney-based clients.

How should I maintain the TFD22 system to ensure maximum performance and longevity?

To keep your Pilot TFD22 system operating at peak efficiency, conduct regular filter changes, check condensate drains, monitor the refrigeration cycle, clean the heat exchanger, and rely on local servicing in Sydney when required.

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!
