Van Air Systems COOL PAK CP-250 250 CFM Aftercooler & Filter Combo – 80-1638
Short Product Description
The Van Air Systems COOL PAK CP-250, Part Number 80-1638 , is a portable 250 CFM aftercooler and moisture separation system designed for use with portable diesel air compressors. Featuring a 12VDC air-cooled aftercooler, 25-micron filtration, bulk moisture separation, and a rugged portable aluminum frame, the CP-250 helps deliver cooler, cleaner compressed air for blasting, construction, air tools, and other mobile applications.
Full Product Description
Portable diesel air compressors produce hot compressed air containing a significant amount of water vapor. As that air cools in downstream hoses and equipment, the vapor condenses into liquid water that can interfere with blasting operations, damage pneumatic tools, and create problems throughout the compressed air system.
The Van Air Systems COOL PAK CP-250 provides a simple, portable solution for reducing that moisture.
Rated for 250 SCFM , the COOL PAK combines an air-cooled aftercooler with a bulk moisture separator and 25-micron compressed air filter . Hot compressed air first passes through the aftercooler, where its temperature is reduced. Cooling the air causes water vapor to condense into liquid moisture, which can then be removed by the integrated separator and filter.
The CP-250 is powered by a 12VDC motor and includes a 50-foot power cord with battery clamps , making it easy to connect to a suitable 12-volt power source in the field.
Everything is mounted on a durable aluminum stand with a protective rock guard, carrying handle, and cord wrap, creating a self-contained package that can be transported from one jobsite to another.
For applications that require effective bulk moisture removal but do not require the extremely low dew point of a regenerative desiccant dryer, the COOL PAK provides a practical and economical air-treatment solution.

Why Choose the Van Air Systems COOL PAK CP-250?
The CP-250 is designed specifically for portable compressed air applications where heat and moisture can cause problems downstream.
Instead of relying solely on filters to remove moisture, the COOL PAK first cools the compressed air , allowing water vapor to condense into liquid. That liquid moisture can then be separated and removed before reaching blasting equipment, pneumatic tools, and other downstream components.
Its self-contained portable design also makes the CP-250 particularly well suited for contractors and mobile operations that need to move air-treatment equipment from job to job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Van Air Systems COOL PAK CP-250 used for?
The CP-250 is designed to cool compressed air and remove bulk liquid moisture from portable compressed air systems. It is commonly used with diesel compressors for blasting, construction, pneumatic tools, and other mobile applications.
What is the airflow capacity of the CP-250?
The Van Air Systems CP-250 is rated for up to 250 SCFM of compressed air.
Does the CP-250 remove moisture from compressed air?
Yes. The aftercooler reduces the compressed air temperature, causing water vapor to condense into liquid. The integrated moisture separator and filter then help remove the condensed moisture.
Is the CP-250 a compressed air dryer?
The CP-250 is an aftercooler and bulk moisture removal system rather than a regenerative desiccant dryer. It is designed to significantly reduce liquid moisture but does not provide the extremely low dew points produced by a desiccant dryer.
What voltage does the CP-250 require?
The CP-250 uses a 12VDC motor and includes a 50-foot power cord with clamps for connection to a suitable 12-volt power source.
What type of filter is included?
The CP-250 includes a 25-micron compressed air filter along with a bulk moisture separator.
What size connections does the CP-250 use?
The CP-250 uses 1-1/4" NPT compressed air connections .
Is the Van Air CP-250 portable?
Yes. The system is mounted on an aluminum frame and includes a carrying handle, rock guard, and electrical cord wrap for convenient jobsite transportation.
What is the replacement filter element for the CP-250?
The recommended replacement element is E200-185-AA/RAA, Part Number 26-7866 .
