toxic vapours of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts and
exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
11. Never weld on, or in any way modify, pressure vessels.
12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly.
They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and that
they function correctly.
17. Protect the motor, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering them, e.g.
when steam-cleaning.
18. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the bodywork,
is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound
pressure level from increasing.
19. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
20. The following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
Instruction book
Never inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if required, use
breathing protection.
Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin with water. If
liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter; flush abundantly
with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; then seek medical first aid.
21. The following safety precautions are stressed when handling desiccant:
Take precautions not to inhale desiccant dust.
Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if required, use breathing protection.
Do not overfill the dryer when replacing desiccant.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during operation.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas. Processing
of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application which are
not included herein.

Introduction
The air dryers described in this book are heatless adsorption dryers, built to remove moisture from
compressed air for industrial purposes. The standard version is intended to reach a pressure dew point (PDP)
of -40 F. There is also a version available for a pressure dew point of -94 F.
All dryers are designed for indoor use.
The dryers described in this book are equipped with the basic regulation system.

Operation
The construction of the air dryer is simple, reliable and easy to service. The dryer has two towers, containing
the adsorbing material or desiccant. The desiccant is a very porous grain material which can adsorb large
amounts of water vapour.
The operation cycle of the dryer is repetitive and is controlled by a factory-set timer, located inside the
cubicle (3).
The compressed air entering the dryer is led to one of the towers by means of the inlet valves (IV), which are
controlled by a pneumatic actuator (PA). As the air flows upwards through the tower, the desiccant adsorbs
the water vapour and the compressed air is dried. The dry air leaves the dryer via the outlet, connected to the
top of the tower.
While the desiccant in the first tower dries the compressed air, the desiccant in the second tower is being
regenerated. Regeneration of the desiccant is achieved by means of purge air from the drying tower: a small
portion of the dried air passes a nozzle (N), expands to atmospheric pressure and flows downwards through
the other tower, regenerating the desiccant. The regenerating air is released via the corresponding exhaust
valve (PV) and the silencer (S).
A second small portion of the dried air flows via the control air valve (CA), a small air filter (AF) and the
pressure regulator (PR - only used on 232 psi versions) to the solenoid valves (SV). The air leaving
11
Instruction book
the solenoid valves (when energized) is used to control the pneumatic actuator (PA) and the pneumatic valves
(PV). The solenoid valves are controlled by the timer.
After a pre-set time period, the cycle will restart. The fully regenerated tower will now dry the air while the
desiccant in the other tower will be regenerated.
Freeze mode
By default, the regeneration timer will be reset in case of a power failure during operation or in case the on/
off switch was put in position 0. However, in case the input of remote control connector X3 (also referred to
as P4 - freeze contact, see section Electric diagram) was short-circuited, the dryer will switch to <freeze>
mode: purge air flow stops, both solenoid valves are closed. When the contact, connected to connector X3 is
opened again, the dryer will resume its cycle from where it was stopped and will continue the drying cycle.
This feature can prevent loss of compressed air (purge air) when the compressor is not continuously running
loaded. On compressors with load/unload regulation, X3 can be connected to a voltage free contact of the
compressor (contact closed when the compressor runs unloaded). If no free contact is available, an additional
voltage free contact should be installed on the load/unload contactor of the compressor to use this feature.
See Electrical connections for more details.
Operating principle: during unload operation of the compressor, the regeneration valve of the regenerating
tower is closed. That way, the pressure in this tower will increase up to net pressure. From that moment on,
purge air is no longer consumed. During load, the regeneration valve is opened and both towers resume their
cycle.
Do not connect X3 when an air receiver is installed before the dryer.
X3 should only be connected when the air receiver is installed after the dryer.

Piping
Make sure that all pipes, filters, valves, etc. are clean and that they are installed correctly
with or without bypass system.
Make sure that the piping is installed stress-free. For more information concerning air nets,
cooling systems etc. refer to the compressor installation manual.
To ensure correct operation of the dryer, it has to be fitted properly into the compressed air circuit, consisting
of the compressor, the dryer and the application.
Depending from the fact if the remote control connector X3 is used or not (see also section Operation), there
are two possibilities:
Installation in case X3 is not used
If the freeze contact X3 is not used, the correct order of installation is compressor air
receiver - dryer. For information on the <Freeze> contact, consult section Electrical
connections.

General recommendations
Keep the following in mind when installing the dryer:
Place the dryer at a location where the temperature never exceeds the limits, see Technical Data.
The dryer does not require extra ventilation.
Fix the dryer as level as possible to the floor. Make sure the fixating bolts are tightened firmly and that the
floor is suitable for taking the weight of the dryer.
Provide enough space around the unit to install and service the filter elements. A minimum free space of
800 to 1000 mm (approx. 2.6 to 3.2 ft) is recommended - see the installation proposal drawings.
Provide sufficient space under the filter elements in order to be able to replace the filter cartridges without
the need having to disassemble the piping.
Always install a high efficiency filter (4) at the inlet of the dryer. A prefilter (3) is recommended to extend
the lifetime of the high efficiency filter. The drain pipes (1) of the water separator and the filters must not
dip into the water. Use a dust filter (5) at the outlet of the dryer. Should oil vapour and odours be
undesirable, a carbon filter can be installed downstream the dust filter.
If the compressor has no built-in water separator, a water separator (WSD) has to be installed before the
dryer in order to prevent free water from entering the dryer, as free water can damage the desiccant. If the
condensate contains oil, install an oil/water separator for draining of pure condensate water.
It is recommended to install bypass pipes with ball valves over the filters in order to isolate the filters
during service operations without disturbing the compressed air delivery.
It is required to install pressure relief valves on each vessel of the dryer when ball valves are installed at
the inlet and the outlet of the dryer to isolate the dryer from the air net.
24
Instruction book
Never overload the dryer as a too high air speed will damage the desiccant. It may be
recommended to install the air dryer upstream of the air receiver to prevent overload (e.g.
after extending the dry air circuit). Consult your supplier if in doubt. See also section
Operating instructions for the correct operation procedure.

Electrical connections
The electrical wiring must comply with the local regulations. The air dryer must be earthed
and protected by fuses against short-circuiting.

The timer card can be interconnected in a Local Area Network (LAN) with AirConnect (e.g. Combox-E).
Application: data communication between timer card and AirConnect (e.g. Combox-E). Addressing and
CAN protocols used are the same as for the Elektronikon regulators. Because the timer card has no
programming features however, the exchanged information is pre-configured and cannot be redefined.

Operating instructions
4B
In your own safety interest, always observe all relevant safety instructions.
Initial start-up
To start up the dryer for the first time or after a long period of standstill, proceed as follows:
1.
2.
If the application allows air that is not completely dry, the valve towards the dry air
consumer may be opened even before the optimal PDP is reached. In this case
however it will take more time for the desiccant to dry completely.
At initial start-up, and specially when the dryer is loaded from the beginning, it can
take a long time before the dew point is reached. For a dew point of -94 F, it can
take up to more than 10 days before this value is reached.
It is therefore recommended to operate the dryer for a number of days with the outlet
valve closed.
Normal start
If the dryer has not been used for more than 3 months, refer to section Initial start-up. In all other cases
proceed as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Cut off the air supply from the compressor towards the dryer by closing the external inlet valve.
If installed, close the external outlet valve between the dryer and the dry air consumer.
Start compressor and slowly open the external inlet valve.
Switch the dryer on by putting main switch S1 in position I.
Gradually open the air outlet valve.
If applicable, close the bypass valves of the dryer.
Close the external inlet valve in case the compressor needs to be restarted. The high
air speed in the start-up phase of the compressor may damage the desiccant.
To prevent this, a sonic nozzle (available as option) can be installed
28
Instruction book
During operation
At regular intervals, check the status of the LEDs on the control panel. Refer to section Problem solving.
Stopping
To stop the dryer, proceed as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
If installed and if necessary, open the bypass valves of the dryer so that the application will still receive
compressed air.
Close the external inlet valve between the compressor and the dryer and the external outlet valve
between the dryer and the dry air consumer.
Let the dryer operate for a period without consumption, to depressurize the vessels.
Switch off the dryer by putting main switch S1 to position 0.
If the dryer is stopped for a longer period, keep the external inlet and outlet valve
closed to avoid moisture from entering the dryer.
Under no circumstances must compressed air be allowed to flow through the dryer
when the electrical power is switched off. This will result in terminal failure of the
desiccant material, causing regeneration will no longer be possible.

the service magnet during 3 seconds over the indicated area (A) of the control panel, in the middle of the
left tower.
As an indication that the reset procedure is activated, the service warning LED (9) will light up.
y Reset the timer card by putting the service magnet over the indicated area (A) of the control panel during 5
s. The service alarm LED extinguishes. The service counter has now been reset to 0.
Also the counter to switch towers will be reset to 0 (only visible in case of timer control).
y Restart the dryer by switching switch S1 to On. The service counter will restart, the dryer operating LED
(2) is alight, and the drying and regeneration LEDs indicate the status of the dryer operating cycle.
The timer card is now reset and normal operation continues. The service counter has been reset to 0 and will
appear again after 8000 hours.

Problem solving
Symptom
PDP temperature too high
Possible cause
The dryer has not had the time to
regenerate completely.
The silencers are clogged.
The drain is not working correctly.
The air flow through the dryer is too
high.
The outlet pressure is too low.
The inlet temperature is too high.
Free water in the dryer.
32
Corrective action
Close the valve installed between
the dryer and the application (if
permitted) and have the desiccant
regenerated.
Replace the silencers.
Check the drain valve of the filter.
Check for correct application.
Check whether the compressor
provides enough air for the
application.
Check the compressor aftercooler.
Check the water separator (WSD)
and the drain valve of the filters
upstream of the dryer.
Replace the silencer if necessary
or correct its fixation.
Check the condition of the solenoid
valve and replace it if necessary.
Reset the timer after maintenance.

The dryer vessels can contain pressurised air. This can be potentially dangerous if the
equipment is misused.
The dryer vessels must only be used as a compressed air vessel and must be operated
within the limits specified on the data plate.
No alterations must be made to the vessels by welding, drilling or other mechanical
methods without the written permission of the manufacturer.
The design pressure and temperature of this pressure bearing part must be clearly
indicated on the data label.
The safety valve must correspond with pressure surges of 1.1 times the maximum
allowable operating pressure. This should guarantee that the pressure will not
permanently exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the vessel.
Original bolts have to be used after opening for inspection. The maximum torque has to
be taken into consideration (see table below).
