  • Page 14: Description Of Operation

    4 Description of Operation Adsorption dryer is intended for removal of water vapor from the inlet compressed air in order to reach a desired dew point at the outlet. During normal operation of the adsorption dryer the non-dried compressed air enters the adsorption dryer through the inlet and passes through the appropriate inlet control valve into a tower (pressure vessel filled with adsorbent) where the process of adsorption is in progress.
  • Page 16: Controller

    5 Controller The B-DRY adsorption dryer series controller in combination with tower pressure manometers and the outlet dew-point sensor enables complete monitoring of the adsorption dryer operation. The controller PLC includes a LCD display interface with buttons that enables the technical expert to examine/change settings and operating parameters of the system.
  • Page 17: Status Screen

    5.1 Status Screen To access the controller interface open the transparent cover on the controller housing. The interface on the PLC block has four buttons and can display the information in four lines. To move through the menu, press the up and down buttons. To enter a sub-menu or confirm an action press right.
  • Page 18: Dew-Point Monitoring

    - B Y 5.2 Dew-point Monitoring If the dew-point sensor is connected it is possible to monitor the current dew-point. The outlet dew-point sensor is connected to the PLC controller analogue INPUT I7/A1 (0…10VDC, - 100…+20°C) and enables the PLC to adjust the adsorption time of the adsorption-regulation cycle in order to reach a set dew-point.

  • Page 45: Commissioning

    10 Commissioning 10.1 Pressurization Rapid pressurization of the dryer can cause damage to the adsorption dryer! Adsorption dryer should be pressurized extremely slowly through an appropriate valve at the inlet. During the pressurization process the outlet valve should remain closed and the adsorption dryer should not be operational.
  • Page 46: Opening Outlet Valve

    10.2 Opening Outlet Valve Opening of the outlet valve should be done extremely slowly especially when the system downstream of the valve is not pressurized. Follow the procedure: • Make certain that the adsorption dryer is not in operation, the circuit breaker and the controller should be turned off.
  • Page 47: Decommission

    11. Decommission To decommission B-DRY adsorption dryer follow the decommissioning procedure: • Close valve upstream and downstream from the dryer. • Set the operating mode to FIXED CYCLE MODE (5.5 Manual Selection of Fixed Cycle). • The dryer should be depressurized within one half-cycle which takes 5 minutes. •...

    12.8 Dew-point Sensor Calibration Dew-point sensor might become inaccurate due to ageing. To prevent inaccurate readings it is recommended to do a dew-point sensor calibration yearly. For calibration please contact the manufacturer.
  • Page 55: Troubleshooting

    13 Troubleshooting 13.1 Controller Turns OFF Description: Controller Turns OFF immediately or shortly after start-up. Possible causes, inspection and fixing procedure: 1. Faulty control valve: Inspect the control valve coils. If one or more the coils keeps warming up considerably compared to other coils then the coil is malfunctioning and causing circuit breaker to disconnect the controller and the coils from electrical supply.
  • Page 56: The Downstream System Is Oversized

    When the compressor is too small the ammount of inlet volumetric flow of compressed air that is used by purge release during regeneration will exceed 21% and may evern reach 100% in systems with extremely undersized compressors. This condition will cause high pressure drops.
  • Page 57: Control Valves Malfunction

    13.2.5 Control Valves Malfunction The cause of high pressure drop could be malfunctioning control valves. In this case the pressure in the towers during adsorption phase will be much lower than the inlet pressure. In this case the control lower control might have to be replaced. 13.2.6 Clogged Pre-filter and/or After-filter Although the service interval for pre-filter and after-filter is 12 months, the filter might have to be changed before the service...
  • Page 58: High Outlet Dew-Point

    13.3 High Outlet Dew-point In normal operating conditions the heatless adsorption dryer B-DRY maintains a pressure dew- point between -25 and -70 °Ctd. The outlet dew-point is dependant on inlet volumetric flow, inlet air temperature and adsorption time. New adsorption dryer could need a few hours of operation to reach a certain dew-point. This is due to the fact that the adsorbent adsorbs a certain ammount of water vapour during production and installation.
  • Page 59: Oil In The Towers

    13.3.3 Oil in the Towers If the compressor produces too much oil in the outlet air and this air reaches the adsorption dryer it will destroy the molecular sieve and pressure dew-point will get higher. In this case however the protective bed of water-resistant silica gel will get destroyed also and the pressure dew-point will rise faster.
