Technical Description Adsorption Humid natural gas is delivered to the dryer from a compressor. From here, the natural gas flows upwards through the absorption vessel, which is pressurised. In so doing, the drying agent dehumidifies the natural gas. The dry natural gas is directed to the pipework network via the natural gas outlet on the dryer.
Available options Available options The following options are available for the dryer: Dewpoint-sensing control Regeneration gas cooler Auxiliary heater Dewpoint-sensing control With a dewpoint-sensing control system, you can operate the dryer in fixed or variable cycles. In the variable cycle, the switchover is effected in relation to the dew point reached and the charging of the drying agent .

Requirements for installation Installation All work at the pipelines and on the electrical components must be carried out by authorised and suitably qualified technical personnel. As soon as the dryer has been set up at its installation location, you can install the compressed air inlet and outlet lines and make the electrical connection.
Installation Connect piping In order to ensure that the dryer operates to optimum standards, the dryer must be assembled into the natural gas system free of all stresses. ► Ensure before connection that all inlet and outlet natural gas lines and valves are clean and undamaged.
Page 30
Installing the electrical connection Installing the supply cable The components of the dryer have been connected to the control cabinet at the factory. You only need to connect the control cabinet to the electrical supply cable. ► Ensure that the cross-section of the electrical supply cable corresponds to the power rating of the dryer and the electrical voltage provided by the customer (pay attention to the electrical circuit diagram at the same time).
Page 31
Installation Connect to earth/ground Earth/ground connection on ATEX-compliant dryers! ATEX-compliant dryers must be earthed/grounded properly. Existing Ex zones near the dryer may need to be cancelled. The earth/ground rails are mounted on the back of the switch cabinet. Here, the dryer is connected to the potential compensation system on the company premises.
Requirements for initial start-up Commissioning On no account place the dryer into service or take the dryer out of service without inerting it beforehand! Together with air, gaseous natural gas can form an explosive gas mixture and therefore poses a considerable danger. An explosive atmosphere can build up especially during commissioning and when replacing the drying agent.
Commissioning Checks before start-up Purge system before start-up! The dryer was subjected at the plant to a leak test using compressed air and is supplied with a positive pressure of +0.5 bar. Prior to commissioning, the dryer must be purged using a suitable medium to remove any residual humidity or oxigen! Warning! Interrupt the start-up procedure if the controller displays an error...
Emergency shutdown Emergency shutdown In the event of an emergency, shut down the dryer Depressurise the dryer and shut it down as described on page 39. Startup dryer On no account place the dryer into service or take the dryer out of service without inerting it beforehand! Notes for inerting, see page 15.
Page 35
Commissioning Depending on the transportation and storage conditions, the drying agent in the vessels can already be loaded with humidity from the environment. At each first start-up it makes sense therefore to operate the dryer for some time separately from the compressed air system. This causes the drying agent in each vessel to be regenerated repeatedly and thus to be prepared optimally for the take-up of humidity.
Changing cycle mode (optional) ► With ATEX-compliant dryers: Restore operational potential compensation, check electrical conductivity and document the results. Restart commissioning again. Changing cycle mode (optional) Which cycle modes can I choose? After a successfully concluded initial commissioning process, with the option dewpoint control the dryer must be operated in economy mode (Economy Cycle).
Monitoring of the Operation Monitoring of the Operation The dryer operates fully automatically. However, you should carry out the regular checks described in the Chapter Maintenance and repair of the dryer. Warning of sudden gas escape!
