NYAB LD-1000® Air Dryer protects your air system
Reliable brakes require clean, dry air for long life and for trouble-free operation in all seasons. The new LD-1000® air dryer from New York Air Brake increases motive power and year-round rolling stock availability by providing dry, clean air with best-in-class life-cycle costs.
Compressed air, the source of brake control and brake power on freight trains, is saturated with water vapor: as the temperature drops from day to night, some of that vapor condenses into liquid water. If the overnight temperature swings from above freezing to below, the water freezes and can cause brake system malfunction.
To address this problem, the new LD-1000 air dryer offers the state-of-the art solution for heavy haul freight locomotives. The LD-1000 provides superior pre-filtration, allowing for a 10-year overhaul interval, including desiccant, even when used with an oil-lubricated compressor.
