1 General description

1.1 Introduction

The refrigeration dryer processes compressed air used in industry.

The generated compressed air is not used in the human respiratory system or in contact with food.
This product can only be used to dry compressed air, and the manufacturer is not responsible for any
consequences caused by incorrect use.

4 Evaporator

5 Condensate separator

6 Condensate drain
10 Heat exchanger

11 Dewpoint indicator

Description
Compressed air enters heat exchanger (10) and is cooled by the outgoing, cold, dried air. Water in the
incoming air starts to condense. The air then flows through heat exchanger/evaporator (10 & 4) where the
refrigerant evaporates causing the air to be cooled further to close to the evaporating temperature of the
refrigerant. More water in the air condenses. The cold air then flows through separator (5) where all the
condensate is separated from the air. The condensate is automatically drained in the condensate drain (6).
The cold, dried air flows through heat exchanger (10) where it is warmed up by the incoming air to approx.
10˚C (18˚F) below the incoming air temperature.
Condensation in the air net cannot occur unless the air is cooled to below the pressure dewpoint indicated
by the digital dewpoint indicator (11).

13 Hot gas by-pass valve

Description
Compressor (1) delivers hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas which flows through condenser (2) where most
of the refrigerant condenses.
The liquid flows through liquid refrigerant dryer/filter (8) to capillary tube (7). The refrigerant leaves the
capillary tube at evaporating pressure.
The refrigerant enters evaporator (4) where it withdraws heat from the compressed air by further
evaporation at constant pressure. The heated refrigerant leaves the evaporator and flows through the liquid
separator (9) back to the compressor (1).

13 Hot gas bypass valve

Description

The condenser pressure must be kept as constant as possible to obtain stable operation. Fan control switch
therefore stops and starts the cooling fan (3).
If, under partial or no load, the evaporator pressure drops below a certain level, the hot gas by-pass valve
(9) opens and hot, high-pressure gas is fed to the evaporator circuit to prevent the evaporator pressure from
dropping any further.

1.5 Condensate drain system

Description

Electronic water drain

The dryers are equipped with an electronic water drain (EWD). The condensate from the condensate trap
accumulates in a collector. On preset time intervals, the condensate is discharged through the drain outlet.
The opening time is limited to 1 second, which limits compressed air waste to a minimum.
The condensate can also be drained by pressing the test button (1).

Setting：

1. Switch on the power. Note: the voltage must comply with the voltage mentioned on the coil.
2. It will start with its pre-set time setting of 0.5 min OFF and 1 sec ON time.
3. You can change the pre-set values to anything ranging from 0.5-10 sec and 0.5-5 Min.
4. To change the ON time simply rotate the black knob, the point of the arrow is the drainage time, then the
change is saved.
5. To change the OFF time simply rotate the black knob, the point of the arrow is the drainage interval, then the
change is saved.
Note:

When the test button is pressed during normal operation, it starts a manual drain test.

Instruction book

Reference Description
- The refrigerant air dryer should be installed on a level floor suitable for its weight.

- Install the dryer where the ambient air is as clean as possible and where the
temperature of the air will never exceed the limits. Keep the ventilation gratings
of the dryer free.
The recommended minimum distance between the top of the unit and the ceiling is 1.5
m (58.5 in).
The minimum distance between the wall and the back of the dryer must be 1.5 m (58.5
in).
Lay out the condensate drain hose via a funnel towards a drain collector to allow visual
inspection. The hose must slope downwards.
If the condensate drain has been fitted outside the dryer room where it may be
exposed to freezing temperatures, it must be insulated.
- The power cable must be connected by a qualified electrician.
Connect the dryer to the correct voltage; if necessary, check the unit data plate.
Check that the electrical installation corresponds to local codes. The dryer must be
earthed and protected against short circuits using an automatic cut-out device with a
differential device.
An isolating switch must be installed near the dryer.
- Connect the compressed air lines to the marked inlet and outlet pipes of the dryer.
Provide an air inlet valve and outlet valve. If a bypass pipe and valve are installed, the
dryer can be serviced while it is bypassed.

3.4 Starting

Attention

To ensure optimum operational efficiency, do not use dryer on/off switch repeatedly
within a short time period.
Wait at least 5 minutes to start the dryer again after stopping to allow pressure
equalization.
To keep the compressed air net free of condensate, start the dryer before starting the
compressor and stop the compressor before stopping the dryer.

Procedure

Step Action

1 If installed, close the dryer by-pass valve.

2 Press dryer on/off switch (2).

3 Open dryer air inlet valve (customer's installation).

4 Approx. 5 minutes later, open dryer air outlet valve (customer's installation).
5 Approx. 10 minutes later, the nominal dewpoint will be reached.

3.5 During operation

Procedure

Regularly check:
• The pressure dewpoint indicator (1) on the control panel. The pressure dewpoint will deviate
from nominal if the air inlet conditions or volume flow differ from nominal.
• That condensate is discharged via condensate outlet. The amount depends on the operating conditions.

3.6 Stopping

Attention

To ensure optimum operational efficiency, do not use dryer on/off switch repeatedly
within a short time period.
Wait at least 5 minutes to start the dryer again after stopping to allow pressure
equalization.
To keep the compressed air net free of condensate, start the dryer before starting the
compressor and stop the compressor before stopping the dryer.

4 Maintenance instructions
Safety precautions
Before starting any maintenance or repair work, close the air inlet and outlet valve and switch off the
voltage.
When removing the side panels of the dryer, be aware that internal elements such as the pipes can be hot.
Therefore, wait until the dryer has cooled down before removing the side panels.
When handling refrigerant, all applicable safety precautions must be observed. Please be aware of
the following points:
• Contact of refrigerant with the skin will cause freezing. Special gloves must be worn. In case
of contact with the skin, the skin should be rinsed with water. On no account may clothing
be removed.
• Fluid refrigerant will also cause freezing of the eyes; safety glasses must hence be worn.
• Refrigerant is hazardous. Do not inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is
adequately ventilated.

Local legislation
Local legislation may stipulate that:
• Work on the refrigerant circuit of the cooling dryer or on any equipment which influences its
function must be undertaken by an authorized control body.
• The installation is checked once a year by an authorized control body.

Instructions
• Keep the dryer clean.
• Inspect and clean the filter of the automatic condensate drain monthly, in dusty environment
drain weekly:
Release the pressure in the dryer by pressing the TEST push button on top of the condensate
drain (before switching off the supply voltage).
• Switch off the voltage
• Remove the filter from the automatic drain and clean it with an air jet, working from inside
to outside
• Reinstall the filter
• Brush or blow off the finned surface of the condenser monthly. Do not use water or solvents.

5 Device settings
Regulating and safety devices
The regulating and safety devices are factory-adjusted to obtain optimum performance of the dryer. Do not
alter the setting of any of the devices.

6 Problem solving
Attention

Use only authorized parts. Any damage or malfunction caused by the use of
unauthorized parts is not covered by Warranty or Product Liability.
Apply all relevant Safety precautions.
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair work on the dryer:
Close air inlet and outlet valve of the dryer.
Press the test button on the electronic condensate drain to depressurize the air
system.
Move dryer on/off switch to position 0.
Switch off the voltage. See section Stopping.
Open the isolating switch to prevent an accidental start.
The air inlet and outlet valve can be locked during maintenance or repair work as
follows:
• Close the valve.
• Using a wrench, remove the screw fixing the handle.
• Lift the handle and turn it until the slot of the handle fits over the blocking edge
on the valve body.
• Fit the screw.
