2.0 INTRODUCTION The Ingersoll Rand Heatless Desiccant Dryers are designed an initial rapid depressurization, a portion of dried air from to adsorb moisture from compressed air. The dryers are the on-line tower passes through a heater and over the constructed with two towers, each containing desiccant desiccant bed and carries the moisture off the bed and out beads, that alternate between online (drying) and offline the dryer’s exhaust.
5.0 RECEIVING AND INSPECTION 5.1 INSPECTION 5.2 UNPACKING AND HANDLING Upon receiving your Ingersoll Rand air dryer, please inspect Refer to labels on the dryer for the appropriate means for the unit closely. Visually check the dryer to make certain that lifting or moving the dryer.
7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 7.1 INTRODUCTION CAUTION As described in Section 1, water vapor is removed from Any time the dryer is switched between two operating compressed air by diverting air flow alternately between two modes, care must be taken to ensure the purge towers filled with activated alumina desiccant.
7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 7.5 VALVES 7.3.3 HEATLESS PRESSURE SWING REGENERATION In the heatless mode, following depressurization, Flow and Purge Valves are two-way valves that are switched regeneration uses approximately 15% of the dry using airoperated double-acting actuators. Each valve is compressed air expanded to atmospheric pressure actuated by a four-way solenoid valve as shown on the P &...

7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION NOTE: Ingersoll Rand solid state temperature controller 7.7 TIMING SEQUENCE modulates the heater repeatedly during the heating cycle. All timing functions are performed by Ingersoll Rand’ Pulsating of the heater LED will occur as a result and should Microprocessor Controller, an advanced micro PLC designed be considered normal dryer operation.
7.0 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 7.8.1 MANUAL MODE (ZERO) Ingersoll Rand dryers are shipped from the factory in the Manual Mode. After power is re-supplied to the dryer, the user will be presented with the “PRESS ON” display. The valve switching and timing operations will only start once the ON button is Depressing the SELECT DISPLAY button displays the depressed.
8.0 ALARMS AND INDICATORS 8.1 MOISTURE INDICATOR (STANDARD) 8.4.1 FAILURE TO REPRESSURIZE At the end of the repressurization stage of the dryer The moisture indicator senses a sample of the control air operation, both towers should be at line pressure. which is taken from the dryer outlet.
8.0 ALARMS AND INDICATORS 8.7 HIGH OUTLET TEMPERATURE (OPTIONAL) measured by the dew point sensor. When the sampled outlet dew point registers below the customer set point This option provides continuous monitoring of the the dryer (-43°F default for -40°F dryers; -102°F on -100°F dryers), an discharge air temperature via a thermostat that senses the immediate change in dryer operation will not be noticeable.

8.0 ALARMS AND INDICATORS Depressing the SELECT DISPLAY list displays the most recent Depressing the button returns the controller to the top of of the alarms stored by the Microprocessor Control. Refer to the ALARM LIST. the diagram at the end of this section for an explanation of the ALARM LIST Display.
9.0 TECHNICIAN MODE 9.2 OPERATING MODE (BI-MODE) The Microprocessor Control provides a protected TECHNICIAN MODE to manipulate several parameters As described in Section 7, Heat Reactivated Dryers can not accessible by the casual operator. Below is a list of operate in a heated purge mode as well as a heatless parameters that can be accessed and manipulated by the pressure swing mode.
9.0 TECHNICIAN MODE moisture loading on the dryer. When the Energy Management System feature is turned off, all switching sequences occur as described in Section 7.3. When the Energy Management System feature is activated, Depress the SELECT DISPLAY button until the HEATER the drying sequence is governed by the outlet pressure TEMPERATURE SET POINT screen is displayed.
9.0 TECHNICIAN MODE 9.4.2 SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT 9.5 PURGE TEMPERATURE (OPTIONAL, HEATED PURGE MODE) On dryers equipped with the optional Energy Management System the setpoint can be adjusted On dryers equipped with EMS, the temperature of the purge to match the dryers operation to the desired exhaust is monitored and displayed on the Microprocessor pressure dew point.
9.0 TECHNICIAN MODE 9.8 HIGH DEW POINT ALARM (OPTIONAL) 9.8.1 DESCRIPTION AND ACTIVATION When the dryer is equipped with the optional Depress the SELECT DISPLAY button until the START MODE Energy Management System feature, the dew screen is displayed. point sensor transmits the dew point to the Microprocessor Control Should the outlet pressure dew point exceed the customer specified set point, High Dew Point Alarm will activate.
9.0 TECHNICIAN MODE The Microprocessor Controller will only permit the jog function during specific stages of the program. Should the program be at a stage where the program can not advance, the following will be displayed: Use the numbers on the keypad to enter the desired pressure dew point temperature for the EMS setpoint.
10.0 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL START-UP 10.1 EQUIPMENT APPLICATION GUIDELINES Desiccant has been provided separately to minimize handling difficulty and placing unnecessary stress on the Ingersoll Rand Regenerative air dryers are shipped dryer assembly. complete with desiccant up to and including model EH2100. Bolt the dryer to the foundation using the bolt holes On larger units, the desiccant is packaged separately for ease provided in the base frame.

10.0 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL START-UP 10.5 DEW POINT TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION Coalescing pre-filters, located before the dryer, protect desiccant beds from contamination by oil, entrained water, (OPTIONAL) pipe scale, etc., thereby, extending dryer desiccant life. On dryers equipped with EMS, the dew point transmitter Locate pre-filters as close to dryer as possible.
10.0 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL START-UP • 10.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The sequence will initiate proper Inlet and Purge Valve positioning and tower depressurization. Refer to wiring diagram for all electrical connections. • If the dryer has been in storage or off for an extended Electrical connection must be hard piped with an external period of time, the Blue Moisture Indicator may be fused disconnect switch with proper overload protection.

10.0 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL START-UP Shut Down Procedure: CAUTION • Maintain a compressed air source to the dryer and a Dryer should not be shut down during the heating supply of power to the Microprocessor Controller. cycle. Doing so may cause the Heater High Temperature alarm to activate, which will require the user to manually reset the Heater High Temperature safety in the control enclosure.
11.0 MAINTENANCE AND SYSTEM CHECK • 11.1 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE Check and repair any air leaks, loose bolts, flanges and fittings. DAILY MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS: EVERY TWO YEARS: • Check and record inlet pressure, temperature and • Change check valves flow. Verify that it is within specifications. •...
11.0 MAINTENANCE AND SYSTEM CHECK 11.2.1 THREADED FILTERS: STEP 1 - Rotate filter bowl counter-clockwise to loosen bowl from filter head. If necessary, a spanner and/or strap wrench may be used. Remove bowl. STEP 2 - Elements are removed by grasping element and pulling downward.
11.0 MAINTENANCE AND SYSTEM CHECK 11.3 MUFFLER CHANGEOUT PROCEDURE • CAUTION Turn control power off per shutdown procedures described in Section 9.7. Be sure to wear respiratory protection during the draining and filling process to minimize inhalation of WARNING desiccant, as desiccant will produce dust during this To avoid injury, depressurize dryer before performing procedure.
