  • Page 10: General Description

    2 General description 2.1 Introduction General view AD 750 up to AD 1250 Introduction The AD air dryers remove moisture from compressed air by cooling the air near to the freezing point. This causes water to condense. The condensate is automatically drained. The air is warmed up before leaving the dryer.

  • Page 14: Refrigeration System

    Instruction book 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 below the pressure dewpoint indicated by the digital controller (11).
  • Page 15: Automatic Regulation System

    Instruction book 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.
  • Page 16: Electrical System

    Instruction book Description The condenser pressure must be kept constant to obtain stable operation. Fan control switch (12) 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.
