Chapter1: Device system flowchart

Saturated compressed air of higher temperature enters the pre-cooler of cold dryer to exchange heat with the cold dry air from evaporator and then enters the evaporated of refrigeration system when its temperature is reduced to exchange heat with cooling vapor for the second time to reduce its temperature to the evaporating temperature of cooling medium. During the two cooling courses, the water vapor in the compressed air is turned into liquid and flows into the vapor-liquid separator. The liquid separated in the separator is drained out of the equipment through automatic drainer (not charted). The compressed dry air of lower temperature enters the pre-cooler to exchange heat with the saturated air to increase its temperature and the compressed dry air of low moisture (dew point) and low relative humidity is obtained at the outlet. Pre-cooler, evaporator and vapor-liquid are the three major parts of the air flow system in cold dryer.

Chapter 2: Device installation and testing

The following drawing shows the standard installation of the equipment. The C grade filter should be installed in principle to avoid the contamination on heat exchanger surface of refrigeration dryer caused by the unfiltered compressed air.
Notes:
Ø A clearance of no less than 1 meter should be left around the refrigeration dryer. Ø The refrigeration dryer can be installed without foundation, but the ground must be leveled. Ø T and A filters can be selected and fixed accordingly. Please refer to the user's manual of
filter for installation. Ø If this equipment is to be used together with piston compressor, a buffering gas container
should be installed before the refrigeration dryer to eliminate the effect of the pulsation of air source.
Warning
The power supply of refrigeration dryer shall be single phase 115V 60HZ or 230V 60HZ. In order to guarantee the proper operation, individual electrical cabinet conforming to the power requirements must be installed.

3.2 Operating instructions

ACheck the following items before starting the device 1) All valves on the pipe network shall be at the ready-to-work condition pipe system: 2) Turn on the cooling water valve and maintain the pressure within 0.2--0.5MPa and the temperature below 31. 3) The indications of high-pressure gauge and low-pressure gauge of cooling medium on the panel are normal and approximately equal (note: there is only low-pressure gauge for small equipment) 4) Examine the power supply and make sure the rated value doesn't exceed ±10%. B If the above-mentioned items are normal, start the equipment. 5) Press the "start" button, and the cooling medium compressor will start thereafter: 6) Observe the panel, when the type of refrigerant is R22 the high pressure gauge of cooling medium should slowly increase to about 1.6MPa and the low pressure gauge of cooling medium should slowly reduce to about 0.4MPa. The equipment has now entered the normal working condition: Other common cooling medium shown in the following table:

Refrigerant Type
R134a R22 R410a

High pressure gauge of cooling medium (MPa) 1.1 1.6 2.3

Low pressure gauge of cooling medium (MPa) 0.2 0.4 0.7

7) First, start the dryer for 3~5 minutes; secondly, start the inlet air valve; finally, start the outlet air valve according to the load rate until it reaches the rated load.
8) Check the inlet/outlet pressure gauge (the difference of the two readings within 0.03MPa is acceptable)
9) Check the status of the automatic drainer. 10) Keep a record of the working condition of dryer, inlet/outlet air pressure, cooling medium
high pressure low pressure etc. 11) Stop steps: first, stop the outlet air valve; secondly, close the inlet air valve: and finally,
press the "stop" button.

3.3 Notes
Please pay close attention to the following issues when using the refrigeration dryer: 1) Avoid long term operation without load. 2) Don't start the cooling medium compressor again and again and don't start over 6 times
within an hour. 3) In order to guarantee the air quality, please carrying out the start and stop steps strictly.
Start: run the dryer for 3~5minutes before starting the air compressor or inlet valve. Stop: turn off air compressor or outlet valve and then turn off the dryer. 4) Make sure the bypass valve connecting the inlet and outlet pipe is turned off in operation to avoid the unprocessed air flow into the low reach pipe network. 5) The air pressure shall not exceed 0.95MPa. (As for high-pressure equipment, please refer to the nameplate of the machine) 6) The inlet air temperature shall not exceed 45for standard type and 80 for high-temperature type. 7) The temperature of cooling water shall not exceed 31. 8) Don't start the equipment when the temperature is less than 2 9) The delay of the relay in the electrical control cabinet shall not be set less than 3 minutes. 10) Normally, only the start or stop button shall be used. 11) Wind-type refrigeration dryer cooling fan is controlled by pressure switch when the refrigeration dryer works in a low temperature environment, it is normal if the fan doesn't work. The fan will start automatically as the pressure of cooling medium increases.
3.4 Daily maintenance of device
ü Blow the dust, ash and fiber of the wind cooled condenser with compressed air regularly. ü Automatic drainer tends to be blockaded by pollutant in condensed water and please clean the
stainless-steel filter screen regularly by water or soap. ü Clean the water condenser regularly. ü Routine inspection: power supply, water supply and gas supply conditions. Observe and keep the
reading on the panel of the refrigeration dryer.
