FS-Curtis RNB15 — 15 SCFM Refrigerated Air Dryer
A detail or paint-focused shop where even trace moisture shows up as fisheyes in a clearcoat needs a dryer that's reliable every single day, not just most days — the RNB15 is built for exactly that kind of low-tolerance-for-failure application.
That's what the FS-Curtis RNB15 solves — a 15 SCFM non-cycling refrigerated dryer, sized to protect tools, paint guns, and downstream equipment from the water damage a wet air line causes. It's also available with a factory-matched Filter Package (prefilter CF7-16-3-DPL + afterfilter CF5-16-3-DPL) as an add-on option, which saves the install crew a step: the filtration is pre-assembled to the dryer, not three separate purchases to plumb together on-site.
Who the RNB15 Is Built For
- ✅ A single-bay independent shop running one small piston compressor that's tired of draining rusty water out of the air lines every week and wants that problem solved for good
- ✅ A shop that just had a customer come back with a paint job full of fisheyes from moisture in the line, and doesn't want to explain that call again
- ✅ An owner replacing a worn-out or discontinued dryer who wants a straightforward drop-in unit — same footprint, same 115V outlet, no rewiring or re-plumbing required
- ✅ A mobile mechanic or small specialty shop where floor space is tight and a compact, wall-mountable dryer matters as much as the moisture removal itself
- ✅ A shop investing in pneumatic tools or a paint booth for the first time and wanting to protect that investment from day one instead of waiting for a corrosion problem to show up
What the RNB15 Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Multi-bay commercial shops running several impact wrenches, tire machines, and paint guns off the same line at once — step up to a 75+ SCFM model built for that volume
- ❌ Facilities that already run 3-phase power and want a dryer sized to match a larger 3-phase compressor — this tier is built around standard 115V single-phase
What Makes the RNB15 Different
Heat Exchanger
The RNB15 uses a copper tube-on-tube heat exchanger, engineered for reliable, consistent dew point control at 15 SCFM without fouling or excess pressure drop.
Condensate Drain
Pneumatic float drain removes collected moisture automatically — it works off the condensate itself, so there's no electrical drain component to fail.
Refrigerant & Air Quality
Uses R513A refrigerant, a low global-warming-potential option, and delivers ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 4–5 pressure dew point — dry, reliable air for general shop and industrial use.
Optional Filter Package
Choose the “Includes Filter Package” option to add a factory-matched prefilter (CF7-16-3-DPL) and afterfilter (CF5-16-3-DPL), sized to this dryer's flow rate and ready to plumb — one less step for your install crew.
- Single-bay / light-duty shops
- Standard 115V outlet power
- Simple drop-in replacement
- High-volume multi-bay shops
- 3-phase-only facilities
