Product Description
The Haldex 109493CX Air Dryer Cartridge is a remanufactured oil-coalescing replacement cartridge designed for Bendix AD-IP air dryers used in heavy-duty commercial vehicle air brake systems.
Unlike a standard desiccant cartridge, the 109493CX combines moisture removal with enhanced oil-aerosol and contaminant filtration. This helps reduce the amount of oil, water, and fine contaminants entering downstream reservoirs, valves, ABS components, and other pneumatic equipment.
Haldex specifically identifies the 109493CX as a remanufactured AD-IP coalescing cartridge. It is part of Haldex’s replacement program for Bendix AD-IP air dryers and carries core group 159ADIP, meaning the cartridge is sold as a remanufactured exchange component and may be subject to a core charge.
Regular air-dryer cartridge service helps reduce moisture accumulation, internal corrosion, freeze-up, and contamination throughout the vehicle’s compressed-air system. When replacing an oil-coalescing cartridge, the replacement should also be an oil-coalescing type rather than a standard desiccant cartridge. Bendix specifically cautions that PuraGuard-equipped dryers should be serviced with the corresponding coalescing cartridge.
